Dear Old Nicki is actually so good lyrically.
Quote:
"Yo, did I chase the glitz and glamour, money, fame, and power?
Cause if so, that will forever go down my lamest hour
I should've kept you with me, gettin' at them nameless cowards
They was no match for you, couldn't defeat your prowess
I had to make them changes, I hoped you understood
You see for every bad, I did a ton of good
But you was underground, and I was mainstream
I live the life now, that we would daydream
My only wish, is you come enjoy it with me
Get on them conference calls, go meet the lawyers with me
The money came yeah, tripled and quadrupled it
But I still miss us, when we was just on some stupid ****
And it's still **** the media they ridiculed you, never believed in ya
They just deaded you, left you in all black
But dear old Nicki, please call back"

It's so meaningful and I love the way she refers to her old self as a different person.
And the rhyming is amazing too. The way she rhymes "the media" with "believed in ya".
Too bad the beat and the hook are so corny cause this could've been a Nicki classic.
