I'm the Best Lyrics
Unh... yo... yo...
It was back in '07 - did a couple of tapes,
Did a couple DVDs, made a couple mistakes...
Didn't know what I was doing, but I put on a cape;
Now it's "Which world tour should I go on to take?"
See, you told me I would lose, but I won;
I might cop a million Jimmy Choos just for fun...
Cause bitches couldn't take what was in me - Australia, Sydney,
Might run up in Disney, out with L.A. with Lindsay...
Got the eye of the tiger, the Lion of Judah;
Now it's me and my time, it's just me in my prime...
Everything I try to teach 'em, they gonna see it in time;
Tell them bitches get a stick - I’m done leadin' the blind...
Got two shows tonight, that's Brooklyn and Dallas;
Then the private party at the Buckingham Palace,
Which means I gotta fly, like a movie, no commercials;
That's Young Money, Cash Money - yeah, I’m Universal.
I hear they comin' for me, because the top is lonely;
What the fuck they gon' say? (Oh!) What the fuck they gon' say?
I’m the best bitch doin' it, doin' it, I’m the best bitch doin' it, doin' it,
I’m the best, best, best, best, I'm the best, best, best, best, I'm the best...
I remember when I couldn't buy my mother a couch;
Now I’m sitting at the closin', bought my mother a house...
You can never understand why I grind like I do;
Micaiah and Jelani why I grind like I do...
Cause even when my daddy was on crack, I was crack;
Now the whole album crack, you ain’t gotta skip a track...
I ain’t gotta get a plaque, I ain’t gotta get awards,
I just walk up out the door, all the girls will applaud,
All the girls will commend, as long as they understand
That I'm fighting for the girls that never thought they could win,
Cause before they could begin, you told them it was the end
But I am here to reverse the curse that they live in...
Got two bones to pick, I'ma only chose one;
You might get addressed on the second album,
Which means you can breathe 'til I motherfuckin' say so;
To all my bad bitches, I can see your halo.
I hear they comin' for me, because the top is lonely;
What the fuck they gon' say? (Oh!) What the fuck they gon' say?
I’m the best bitch doin' it, doin' it, I’m the best bitch doin' it, doin' it,
I’m the best, best, best, best, I'm the best, best, best, best, I'm the best...
It’s okay... it's okay...
Long as you know... long as you know...
Long as you motherfuckers know I'm the best, best, best, best, best...
I hear they comin' for me, [I hope they comin' for me,]
Because the top is lonely; ['Cause the top is lonely.]
What the fuck they gon' say? [What they gon' say?]
(Oh!) What the fuck they gon' say? [I ain't gon' say.]
I’m the best bitch doin' it, doin' it, I’m the best bitch doin' it, doin' it,
I’m the best [I'm the best.], best, best, best,
I'm the best [I'm the best.], best, best, best,
I'm the best...
Did a couple DVDs, made a couple mistakes...
Didn't know what I was doing, but I put on a cape;
Now it's "Which world tour should I go on to take?"
See, you told me I would lose, but I won;
I might cop a million Jimmy Choos just for fun...
Cause bitches couldn't take what was in me - Australia, Sydney,
Might run up in Disney, out with L.A. with Lindsay...
Got the eye of the tiger, the Lion of Judah;
Now it's me and my time, it's just me in my prime...

I’m the best bitch doin' it, doin' it, I’m the best bitch doin' it, doin' it,
I’m the best, best, best, best, I'm the best, best, best, best, I'm the best...

I'm the best...

I don't even like rap, but I LOVE Nicki Minaj. Her music lifts me up and entertains me. Pink Friday is the first rap album I ever bought.
Micaiah and Jelani are apparently her younger and older brothers. Young Money and Cash Money are her record labels.
I thought it was "mike up a million Jimmy Choos just for fun" as in, install microphones into a million pairs of designer shoes presumably so that she could hear her feet and I thought that was completely believable?
