[Intro: Nicki Minaj]

Patty-cake, patty-cake (uh)
I mean, really, what the fuck that bitch, Patty, bake?
Anyway, I just heard T.I.P. say
That black people turnin' lemons into lemonade (what?)
Tell him to demonstrate (kyuh)
I guess he did already, (kyuh) guess I'm a little bitter (kyuh)
'Cause I show bitches how to do it like they babysitter (uh)
So where my cash at? (uh) And where my stash at? (uh)
I mean, where the Dow Jones? Where the Nasdaq?
I do it for the little macs with they caps back
My little niggas pumpin' crack out they knapsack (uh)
Know what I mean? Get the sticky green, pass that (uh)
I smoke bitches, (uh, uh, uh) can't nicotine-patch that (Whoa, oh yeah)
Don't need your spot to get a good game (c'mon)
'Cause a shot is a shot if you got a good aim

[Hook: Nicki Minaj]
It's been a long time comin', but I came
Now everybody in the rap game know my name
But, honey, ain't a damn thing funny when your fame
Outweighs your change, outweighs your change (change)
It's been a long time comin', but I came
Now everybody in the rap game know my name
But, honey, ain't a damn thing funny when your fame
Outweighs your change, outweighs your change (change)
(Whoa) Kyuh, (oh, yeah) uh-huh, c'mon (mm)

[Verse 2: Ransom]
We on the road to riches, (yeah) I'm fucking loads of bitches (yeah)

My little golden mistress, (uh-huh) for her, I load them biscuits
Yeah, I roll with Nicholas, we so explicit, you won't resist it (no)
It's been a long time comin', but you don't know specifics
No more phony wishes
We ready 'cause now we know the business (yes)
Come holla at your guy, (yes) I always make it pour (yes)
Invite me to ya wedding, I throw dollas at the bride (hoo)
It's dirty money, (uh-huh) dirty jeans, and dirty scullies
You heard he funny, but chill, I'm still absurdly gully (yeah)
Most of these rappers lost, (yeah) it's no cash at all
If I knew this back then, I'da just played basketball, ha (Whoa, oh yeah)
Or maybe not, they say that I never pass the ball
If there's no cash involved, baby, I'mma laugh it off (ha-ha)

[Hook: Nicki Minaj]
It's been a long time comin', but I came
Now everybody in the rap game know my name
But, honey, ain't a damn thing funny when your fame
Outweighs your change, outweighs your change (change)
It's been a long time comin', but I came
Now everybody in the rap game know my name
But, honey, ain't a damn thing funny when your fame
Outweighs your change, outweighs your change
(Outweighs your change)
(Whoa) Kyuh, (oh, yeah) uh-huh, c'mon (mm)
It's been a long time comin', but I came
Now everybody in the rap game know my name
But, honey, ain't a damn thing funny when your fame
Outweighs your change, outweighs your change (change)

Nicki Minaj

Born December 8, 1982, Onika Tanya Maraj-Petty, better known by her stage name Nicki Minaj, is a Trinidadian-American rapper, actress, singer, songwriter, and entrepreneur.

Nicki was discovered by Lil Wayne via her mixtapes Sucka Free and Beam Me Up Scotty, and broke into the mainstream as an artist signed to Wayne’s label Young Money Entertainment. Her first successful songs, “Your Love,” “Moment 4 Life” (with Drake), and the smash-hit “Super Bass,” are featured on her 2010 chart-topping debut album Pink Friday.

She continued her run with her second studio album, Pink Roman Reloaded, which contained “Starships,” a song which would further develop Nicki’s pop/rap style. “Starships” gave Nicki a Billboard milestone, when it charted for 21 weeks in the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100, a feat no other artist has achieved without the aid of streaming services.
