[Intro: Nicki Minaj]
Mmmh
Rrrrrr!

[Chorus: Ariana Grande]
Get on your knees, get on your knees, get on your knees
Baby, just get on your knees (On your knees)
Say pretty please, say pretty please, say pretty please
Baby, just say pretty please (Pretty please)

[Verse 1: Nicki Minaj]
Yo, I'll be back at eleven
You just act like a peasant
Got-got a bow on my panties
Because my a** is a present
Yeah-yeah, it's gooder than Meagan
You look good when you're beggin'
I appreciate them gifts, like the whips and them bezels
Now it’s bells and the whistles
Now I’m making it sizzle
And it’s ready, come and get it
It’s taking off like a missile
L-let me see what you're workin' with
If I'm ridin', I'm murkin' it
Slow grindin', I'm twerkin' it, yeah
I bagged him, I Birkin'd it

[Pre-Chorus: Ariana Grande]
I don't need a dozen roses
You ain't gotta wine and dine me, no
I don't need a pretty poet
Ooh, gettin' all emotional
You gotta beg for it, beg for it
I wanna see you lookin' up
Baby, I'ma need you to beg for it

[Chorus: Ariana Grande]
Get on your knees, get on your knees, get on your knees
Baby, just get on your knees (On your knees)
Say pretty please, say pretty please, say pretty please
Baby, just say pretty please (Pretty please)

[Verse 2: Nicki Minaj]
G-g-g-g-gimme brain
Assume the position
Make-make-make me way smarter
Like you was a magician
Paid my dues and tuition
It's good for your nutrition
Get head like a beautician
Got me twitchin', finish your mission (Finish your mission)
You make it come down
Y-y-y-you make it run down
I'ma need you to give these other dudes the rundown
You got that legendary
This sh** is fake, scary
Got me seein' them fireworks, I'm on my Kate Perry

[Pre-Chorus: Ariana Grande & Nicki Minaj]
(Ah) I don't need a dozen roses
You ain't gotta wine and dine me, no
I don't need a pretty poet
Ooh, gettin' all emotional
You gotta beg for it, beg for it
I wanna see you lookin' up
Baby, I'ma need you to beg (I'ma need you to beg)
Beg, beg for it (Let's go)

[Bridge: Ariana Grande & Nicki Minaj]
'Cause we are just animals (Animals)
Baby, it's primal (It's primal)
I want you on all fours (All fours)
And before I let you walk
You gotta show me how you crawl
If you want it all (Yeah, you want it all?)
It's non-negotiable
So do as I say (I say)
If you wanna get the job
You better know who's the boss
Yeah

[Pre-Chorus: Ariana Grande]
I don't need a dozen roses
You ain't gotta wine and dine me, no
I don't need a pretty poet
Ooh, gettin' all emotional
You gotta beg for it, beg for it (Beg for it)
I wanna see you lookin' up (Lookin' up)
Baby, I'ma need you to beg for it

[Chorus: Ariana Grande]
Get on your knees, get on your knees, get on your knees
Baby, just get on your knees (On your knees)
Say pretty please, say pretty please, say pretty please
Baby, just say pretty please (Pretty please)

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.
