"Plead With You (Letter To Nicki)" lyrics
It's Bizzle
Yo
My lil' niece Brooklyn
Inspired me to write this record
She wants to be Nicki Minaj
And I'm like "She shouldn't even be saying 'ménage'"
But check it
Hey, how you doing, Nicki? Don't wanna beef with you (Oh, uh-uh)
Let's try a new approach, what if I plead with you? (With you)
Now I ain't saying you the devil, I just see issues
That lead me to believe that he's planting seeds with you (Uh)
Far as your music, you ill and you kill it (Kill it)
Though of course I would love for you to tone it down a bit if you willing (Willing)
I don't know you to tell you how to deliver your lyrics
I'm just confirming what you should already feel in your spirit (Uh)
See, my niece love you but she's only four (Oh)
So mad when she told me that, it hurt my soul (Hurt my soul)
Now if I say your lyrics are evil, I won't be wrong
Biblically, but even nonbelievers know they for the grown
With that in mind, I know the devil ain't stupid, hardly (Uh-huh)
And God showed me that he's tryna market you as Barbie (Uh)
You call your fans "Barbie", they wanna be Barbie (Uh, uh)
They're little girls, they look at you and they see Barbie (Pssh)
But how do you explain to one of your fans
Why Barbie got her hands in another woman's pants? (Pants)
And you can argue that it wasn't supposed to be for them
But the age on the front of the Barbie says "three and up" (Three and up)
You are a Black woman, no matter which way you play it
They gon' look at you like "I can be that woman"
The thing is it's gon' have to be either or (Or)
So will they look at you and want to be queens or whores?
I think we can all agree
Hip-hop is real influential in our culture and community
But how can you go through the whole rap game
And not see
Any successful female emcees
That do not show their body
That do not sell sex?
What is that saying to the little Black girls in the hood?
Let us not forget who's raising our kids
'Cause these men ain't sticking around and raising their children
So knowing that it's gon' be these little Black girls
What are you instilling in them?
What kind of seeds are you planting in them?
Where else they gon' get it from?
They not gon' get it from the fellas
'Cause the fellas the ones calling them B's and hoes
So who's gon' let 'em know that's not what they are?
If the females is calling them B's and hoes also?
Ask yourself:
If they followed in your footsteps
Where will those footsteps take 'em?
Bizzle
