Nicki Minaj - Are You Gone Already

What you doing, Papa?
Hi, no, uh-uh
Say, "Hi" (hi)

Don't you know I'm no good for you?
I've learned to lose you, can't afford to
Tore my shirt to stop you bleedin'
But nothin' ever stops you leavin'
Quiet when I'm coming home and I'm on my own

You never got to meet Papa
He sweet proper, he keep mama
On my toes, I needed help
You booked a flight in three days
You'd meet Papa (mh)

The waiting, the gazing
The painting, the raging
The raving, the pacing
The praying, the shaking
I must admit, I was breaking
I must admit, I was taking
I must admit, my heart was racing
Telephone ring, he didn't make it (he didn't make it)
I just believed you'd awaken
A memory in the makin'
Call me, won't you call me? (Call)
No, you gone

Are you gone already? (Don't you know too much already?)
I'll only hurt you if you let me
Call me friend, but keep me closer (call me back)
And I'll call you when the party's over
Quiet when I'm coming home and I'm on my own

So dear, Onika, yes, real, 'Nika
Don't stress, Onika, so blessed, Onika
Today it's 12/3/23
Your baby's three, he's the best, Onika

Set me, set me, set me free (set me free)
Why didn't you come back to get me? (To get me)
Let me, let me, let me be (let me be)
Why would anyone want to love me? (To love me)
Rich, yes, but are you happy? (Rich, yes, but are you happy?)
All this guilt you carry is heavy (all of this guilt is heavy)
You've already made your peace with me
One day you'll have to forgive, mommy
But she knows you know too much already (don't you know too much already?)

I'll only hurt you if you let me
Call me friend, but keep me closer (call me back)
And I'll call you when the party's over
Quiet when I'm coming home and I'm on my own
I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that
I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that

Nothin' is better sometimes
Once we've both said our goodbyes
Let's just let it go
Let me let you go

Quiet when I'm coming home and I'm on my own
I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that
I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that
