They'll never thank me for opening doors
But they ain't even thank 1__ when he died on the cross
Cause your spirit is ungrateful, b-tches is so hateful, I remain a staple
My career's been the pink print
When I retire tell 'em think pink
Pink friday is the imprint
And these b-tches basic, instinct
Oh sh-t my commercial's on
Did I really body b-tches with commercial songs
Did I really prophecy everything I do
But before I continue let me thank my crew
So that was young wayne, mac maine, baby, and slim k, tez and E.I, told em it wouldn't be in vain
Cause prior to me signing, I could've went insane
And even now I think do I really want this fame
Let get up and go, 700 to go, 2__ for a show
Everybody get quite when i'm starting the show
Man i'm birthing these artists, and i'm starting the show

I feel free, I feel freedom why the mad
You should see them, burning up
Cause it's crazy in here crazy in here crazy in here

Who I wanna work with nobody
99 perfect of them is nobody
B-tches acting like they killing sh-t ok
When I checked these b-tches gums nobody
These n-ggas is fake f-cks and opportunists
N-ggas spend their last dime to say they copped the 3___
Why these n-ggas going broke to get ya approval
Pretty soon they'll be back up on dem ramen noodles
Bible, queen is the title
And if you are my rival, then that means you suicidal
And if you in the club then it's a young money recital
I'm just that vital i'm busy never idle
I'm your idol i'm your idol i'm your m-thaf-ck-ng idol
Pink friday at macys, thongs and some pasties
12 mili to kick me feet up
You ready this is the re up

I feel free, I feel 4___ why the mad
You should see them, burning up
Cause it's crazy in here crazy in here crazy in here

I feel free, I feel freedom why the mad
You should see them, burning up
Cause it's crazy in here crazy in here crazy in here

Mirror mirrow wont you realize I just have to decide
What you hiding from
What you hiding from
Mirror mirrow wont you realize I just have to decide
What you hiding from
What you hiding from
Hiding baby

Would you would you give you
Would you would you give you
Would you would you give you all for you
Would you would you give you
Would you would you give you
Would you would you give you all for you

I feel free, I feel freedom why the mad
You should see them, burning up
Cause it's crazy in here crazy in here crazy in here

First impression: Nicki Minaj's 5___ new single, 'Freedom'

Fame is a funny thing, especially when it comes to someone with such obvious talent as Nicki Minaj, whose stardom seemed assured from the start. It was only a few years ago that the superstar rapper earned her ubiquity with a string of explosive, immediately identifiable cameos.

With a whip-smart wit, fantastic verbal skills and a fluid, inventive flow, Minaj was -- and remains -- a game-changing talent in a very competitive field. She reminded women that rapping offers expressive and financial freedom, and she made talented rappers from the opposite sex sound like amateurs alongside her crazy, roller coaster rhymes and delivery.

Unfortunately, there's little of that back story to be found in her new single, “Freedom.” A shockingly mediocre humblebrag track, the song finds Minaj recounting her ascent, her fame, her talent, her wealth and all that it affords. “It’s crazy in here,” Minaj raps after listing her many accomplishments, including a department store fragrance and international fame, seemingly unaware that said craziness lies within one of the most un-crazy tracks she’s ever released.

“I feel free,” she sings. “I feel freedom.” Bully for her.

At this point in the song, the hungry Nicki Minaj of yore would have thrown us for some sort of loop. She might have taken the voice of one of her alter egos to comment on her patronizing persona in “Freedom.” After so much boasting, a new character might have offered some kind of self-critique.

Even less appetizing than the track itself is the callous timing of its release. Minaj was raised in Queens, and it was a mere week ago that a big chunk of her turf was hit by a storm that killed dozens, ruined lives and destroyed thousands of homes. Parts of her city are still without basic services.

Minaj’s response? A track about how hard it is to have everything you’ve always desired and more, and how she wonders to herself, “‘Do I really want this fame?’” Must be rough. Later she raps, as if standing alone on her perch: “Who I want to work with? Nobody.”

Who should she work with? Perhaps an engineer, or someone in the past week who could have helped her add a verse about the responsibilities for those who have much freedom when tragedy strikes. Or how about a line for the American Red Cross? Surely Minaj can find a rhyme for the phrase, “Text $10 to 90999.” (Minaj, it should be noted, did Tweet about sending her prayers to everyone in the area as the storm was hitting.)

But from the perspective of the song, Minaj has a four word response to such ideas: “It’s crazy in here.” You should see what’s going on at home.

Nicki Minaj新單《Freedom》首播，麻辣雞在這支歌曲中不再搞笑頑皮，而是走起冷艷高貴的路線，時而站在沙灘上，時而變身冰雪女王，寒風瑟瑟下的沙灘流露出一片蕭瑟的氣氛，而麻辣雞這樣的路線也別具風格，慢歌之下更容易引起感情的共鳴。"
