Needle Lyrics – Nicki Minaj ft. Drake
Needle Song Lyrics
[Intro: Nana Fofie]
I mean, I don't know if I like girls, I saw Sheila at Seraphin
Maybe we had too much tequila
Actually, yeah, we definitely had too much tequila
'Cause I don't know why I'm even playing on your phone right now
I'ma just block you, bye
[Verse 1: Drake]
If these diamonds in my ear can't weigh me down now
What makes you think you could weigh me down? Stop it right now
Friends were pessimistic 'bout our love, heard they tight now
We both know they're miserable at home, fμcκ 'em all
If this Rollie on my wrist can't weigh me down, eh-eh-mm
What makes you think you could weigh me down? Stop it right now
Friends, they like it better when you're down, let's not talk about it
It's just you and me and
[Chorus: Drake]
I just wanna pull up the Maybach and bend your leg back
Please, obey that, don't delay that, my lil' wild eye
Been a shy guy all of my life, we should change that
Pull up the Maybach and bend your leg back
Let's engage that, don't delay that
You're like a needle, life's a haystack
Friends they can leave us, you could stay back
[Verse 2: Nicki Minaj]
I could stay back, I could take that
Come and lay back on our way back
Make a movie, watch the playback
Nah, don't save that, I don't play that
(Penny, penny) Penny, penny whining
Ah badman, he wanna taste the icing
Gyal, haffi, gyal, haffi, haffi give me my ting
Commission for the game that I be providing
I was in Trinidad, let us consider that
Immigrant to a boss, b¡tchєѕ bitter and mad
ρορρing out like a cork, ducking 'em like Björk
B¡tchєѕ get out of line, I give them one of dem talks
I tell 'em, "Send a jet, " a Valentino drip
See, like the way it grip my hips, cupping my breasts
Shading like silhouettes, spinning like pirouettes
It gave nothin', b¡tch, thank you for zero, next
Dαmn, Drizzy, another bitter ex, shout out my intellects
[Chorus: Drake & Nicki Minaj]
I just wanna pull up the Maybach and bend your leg back
Please, obey that, don't delay that, my lil' wild eye
Been a shy guy all of my life, we should change that
Pull up the Maybach and bend your leg back
Let's engage that, don't delay that
You're like a needle, life's a haystack
Friends, they can leave us, you could stay back
[Bridge: Nicki Minaj & Nana Fofie]
Baby, and you're still my baby
I know I get crazy, I know I get feisty (Ah-ah-ah)
Baby, and you're still my baby
You said I would make it
I'm so glad we made it (So glad we made it)
Gyal ah gwan from the likkle island gyal to CEO
Man ah gwan from Toronto, Canada to OVO
Ghetto gyal have di wickedest slam, everybody know
Gyal, haffi, gyal, haffi, haffi give me my ting
Commission for the game that I be providing
[Chorus: Drake & Nicki Minaj]
I just wanna pull up the Maybach and bend your leg back
Please, obey that, don't delay that, my lil' wild eye
Been a shy guy all of my life, we should change that
Pull up the Maybach and bend your leg back
Let's engage that, don't delay that
You're like a needle, life's a haystack
Friends, they can leave us, you could stay back
[Outro: Nicki Minaj]
You can stay back, you can stay back, you can stay back
Can stay back, can stay back
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm
