Nicki Minaj releases piano pop/rap slow burner “Pills N Potions” ahead of her forthcoming album “The Pink Print” whether the single is a promotional single or a lead single who knows nowadays, right?
What’s important here is the direction Minaj has taken musically to introduce her upcoming LP – its a mature, simplistic, vulnerable and bare sounding Nicki. Rising above all the negativity which comes with fame, Ms Minaj calls out (without naming any names) all those who have done her wrong before and after the world was introduced to Nicki Minaj and her alter-ego, Roman. Potions is a chill-out “I won’t hate you, I’ll pray for you” reflecting kind of song which will leave you curious as to what Nicki and Roman has instore for us later in the year. A Tupac “Hit ‘Em Up” kind of diss song perhaps? I hope so. #checkitout
Hey yo, they could never make me hate you
Even though what you was doing wasn’t tasteful
Even though you out here looking so ungrateful
I’mma keep it moving, be classy and graceful
I told ‘em it’s no friends in the game
You ain’t learned that yet
All the bridges you came over, don’t burn that yet
Niggas want respect, but niggas ain’t earned that yet
Self-righteous, and entitled
But they swearing on the Bible that they love you
When really they’re no different from all your rivals
But I still don’t wish death on them, I just reflect on them
Pills and potions
We’re overdosing
I’m angry but I still love you
Pills and potions
We’re overdosing
Can’t stand it, but I still love you
I still love, I still love
I still love, I still love
I still love, I still love
I still love, I still love
I still love, I still love…
