Just the Memories Lyrics – Nicki Minaj
Just the Memories Lyrics
[Intro: Nicki Minaj]
(Bone Collector the plug)
(ThisIsHabib)
So sweet
Mmm
[Verse 1: Nicki Minaj]
I go at nine, yeah, I got a show tonight
But I ain't been feeling right, all I see is blurry lines
Baby, would you tell 'em for me? I can hear them yelling for me
Tell them I'm in Hell, ain't funny (Yeah, I'm in Hell, ain't funny)
Baby, now you gotta do it, keep drinking a lot of fluid
I'll be here to guide you through it (I'll be here to guide you through it)
And maybe I ain't got it in me, maybe it's just time to end it
I'm sorry, may God forgive me? (Did God forgive me? Tick-tock)
[Pre-Chorus: Nicki Minaj]
So, so, so sad
So, so (Oh), so sad
A bunch of memories (Memories)
A bunch of memories, baby (Baby)
A bunch of memories (Memories)
It's just the memories
[Chorus: Nicki Minaj]
Memories don't leave like people do
They'll always 'member you
There's never been another you
You
[Verse 2: Nicki Minaj]
I 'member when I was the girl that everybody doubted
When every label turned me down, and then they laughed about it
I 'member going home and writing fifty more raps
Just 'cause I knew you really wanted me to fall back
I 'member one of my first crushes in the fifth grade
He got killed, stabbed in the neck with a switchblade (Oh)
I 'member when this girl in the hood thought she caught me slipping
I got arrested, I assaulted with a deadly weapon
They say they hate Nicki, mad 'cause they ain't Nicki
All of the colors in the world, you couldn't paint Nicki (Oh)
I never tried for that, these b!tches die for that
I swear it, that's on my life, I'd never lie for that
[Chorus: Nicki Minaj]
Memories don't leave like people do
They'll always 'member you
They do
They do, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Memories don't leave like people do
They'll always 'member you
There's never been another you
You (Memories)
[Verse 3: Nicki Minaj]
I told Drake that he don't owe me nothing, never did
I pray that Wayne always remembered that I never slid
Look at all the sh!t that y'all threw at me, and I never dipped
Greatest female rapper to ever live, and that's on my kid (Memories)
I could've overdosed, could've been comatosed
Wait, hold on, Juice, I feel the baby kicking, holy smokes
I prayed for a son, my husband wanted one
If they ask about me, tell 'em I was one of one
[Chorus: Nicki Minaj]
Memories don't leave like people do
(They don't leave like people do)
They'll always 'member you
(They'll always remember you)
There's never been another you
(There's never been another you)
Tell 'em I was one of one (You)
[Post-Chorus: Nicki Minaj]
(So, so) Memories
(So, sad) Don't leave like people do
(So, fast) No, no, no
(So, sad) No, no, no, no, no
(So, so) Yeah, yeah, yeah
(So, fast) Yeah, yeah, yeah
(So, sad) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(So, sad) oh
[Outro: Nicki Minaj]
Hey, yeah, yeah
So
Yeah, yeah, yeah
