Cover art for Can Anybody Hear Me? lyrics by Nicki Minaj

Heavily edited cause I'm OCD: <i> I push, p-p-push it, I p-p-push it like I'm in labor, And he'll t-t-teach me to, teach me love my neighbor... Just w-w-wait up, I'm processin' all the data, Processin' all the data, p-p-processin' all the haters. You was writin' disses, I was takin' pictures, Signin' autographs for all of my bad bitches, And in the nick of time it just dawned on me, I am Nicki Minaj, and it's all on me. But hey, maybe I'll never win, maybe I'm settlin'; Can't let the devil in, I'm a comic book heroine... But when the wind blows, I'm so Marilyn... (I'm so Marilyn...)

Yo... write it down, take a picture, bitches, e-mail that; I came to save a thing called female rap... But I hope my ninja powers don't fuck around and offend you cowards... You mad at me 'cus you think I got it easy; If we was in the second grade, then you would tease me... You see, you still a lil snotty nose hood rat; "I love Nicki" scribbled all over you book bag... I love you too, I just wish your mother would've hugged you too... You know Nicki love the kids, yellow brick road lookin' for the Wiz...

But when it rains, it pours for real - Def Jam said I'm no Lauryn Hill; Can't rap and sing on the same CD, the public won't get it, they got A.D.D.! See Nicki, follow the rules, go and say your prayers and get ready for school. (Yeah, follow the rules... lemme say my prayers and get ready for school...

Dear God, I am only what you made me, And I appreciate everything that you gave me, But like, Ion wanna do it no more; Sort of lost sight of what I'm doin' it for. Thought that I was doin' somethin' good for the game, Until they all started throwin' dirt on my name. Tell Debbie, I really, really tried, That I said I'm sorry, but I had to say goodbye. Tell Fendi, I'll never forget him, And please tell Wayne I'll always be indebted. (I'll never forget it, please tell Wayne I'll always be indebted.)

AY! Can anybody hear me? AY! Can anybody hear me? AY! Can anybody hear me? AY! Can anybody hear me?</i>
