"Autobiography"

(Nicki Speaking)
This is the autobiography of Nicki Maraj

May the Lord protect me as the world gets hectic
My voice projected, my life reflected
May the Lord protect me as the world gets hectic
My voice projected, my life reflected

Daddy was a crack fiend
Two in the morning had us runnin' down the block like a track team
When he burned the house down and my mother was in it,
How could I forget it, the pain was infinite
She's my queen and I ain't even British
She's the only reason that I went to school and I finished
She told me that I had talent,
Got on her knees and prayed for me when I started being violent
She saw something in me that, till this day I don't know if I could be that
But I'ma die trying, and when I'm done
Crying, grab the iron, black out like I'm retiring
Nightmares of you killing my mother,
The reason that I sleep with my head under the covers
And they shoulda thrown the book at you,
'Cause I hate you so much that it burn when I look at you

May the Lord protect me as the world gets hectic
My voice projected, my life reflected
May the Lord protect me as the world gets hectic
My voice projected, my life reflected

Damn I wanna run to you
Hold you and kiss you and tell you how I miss you
Thought I would have a son for you
But now it's official, it's over and I can't let you go
But I gotta let you know, all the shit I did make me feel
Like I'm dying real slow
'Cause no one understands me,
They don't know what to do, when I'm hurt, when I'm angry
You was my friend, and my man and my daddy
You was there when that bitch tried to stab me
Anything I ever needed, knew you had me
'Cause of you, all them chicks couldn't stand me
So why hurt you? That's the question
It took this long for me to learn my lesson
'Cause now all I want is peace, forget drama
I finally understand the true meaning of Karma

May the Lord protect me as the world gets hectic
My voice projected, my life reflected
May the Lord protect me as the world gets hectic
My voice projected, my life reflected

Please baby forgive me
Mommy was young, Mommy was too busy
Tryna have fun, but now I pat myself on the back, for sending you back
'Cause God knows I was better than that
To conceive you then leave you,
The concept alone seems evil, I'm trapped in my conscious
I adhere to the nonsense,
Listening to people who told me I wasn't ready for you
But how the fuck would they know what I was ready to do?
And of course it wasn't your fault
I could feel you in the air, I hear you
Saying 'Mommy don't cry can't you see I'm right here?'
I gotta let you know what you mean to me
When I'm sleepin', I could see you in my dreams with me
Wish I could touch your little face and hold your little hand
If it's part of God's plan maybe we can meet again

My voice projected, my life reflected

May the Lord protect me as the world gets hectic
My voice projected, my life reflected
May the Lord protect me as the world gets hectic
My voice projected, my life reflected
