Nicki Minaj - Here I Am - Album Version (Edited) Lyrics

Why is that you could only see the worst in me?
I swear sometimes I feel like it nurtures me
But to keep it all real is kinda hurting me
I could say I'm done with it, but it lurks in me

So I'mma just tell myself that it works for me
Take a real long drive in the Mercedes
And I might pop a couple of them percaces
Yeah, that'll make me transform to Hercules

I am, who I am
(I am)
Here I am, here I am, so take me as I am
Here I am, here I am, so take me as I am
Here I am, here I am, so take me as I am
I am, who I am
(I am)

I swear to God, man, everything in life is old
And the only thing that change is the price of gold
Even in the afterlife I'm a fight your soul
'Cause the second time around I'll be twice as grown

So do you take me to be who I am?
To have and to hold till death do us part
'Cause if not it's just best we both part
'Cause how am I supposed to finish what you start?

You got me thinking twice to just breathe
Then you say I won't survive if I leave
But I got a couple of tricks up my sleeve
I no longer need your attention, at ease

It's a joke, it's a game
Why am I still keeping score?
I'm in pain, I'm ashamed
I'm a woman, hear me roar

It's a joke, it's a game
Why am I still keeping score?
I'm in pain, I'm ashamed
I'm a woman, hear me roar

Now it's a joke, it's a game
(Now it's a joke, it's a game)
Why am I still keeping score?
(Why am i still keeping score?)
I'm in pain, I'm ashamed
I'm a woman, hear me roar

It's a joke, it's a game
(It's a joke, it's a game)
Why am I still keeping score?
(Why am I still keeping score?)
I'm in pain, I'm ashamed
(pain)(ashamed)
I'm a woman, hear me roar
(I'm a woman)

As I am
Here I am, here I am, so take me as I am
