#Fly - Nicki Minaj Ft. Rihanna Lyrics:
I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to
thrive
I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to
rise
To fly, to fly
I wish today it will rain all day
Maybe that will kinda make the pain go
away
Trying to forgive you for abandoning me
Praying but I think I'm still an angel away
Angel away, yeah strange in a way
Maybe that is why I chase strangers away
They got their guns out aiming at me
But I become near when they aiming at me
Me, me, me against them
Me against enemies, me against friends
Somehow they both seem to become one
A sea full of sharks and they all smell blood
They start coming and I start rising
Must be surprising, I'm just surmising
I win, thrive, soar, higher, higher, higher
More fire
I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive
I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise
To fly, to fly
Everybody wanna try to box me in
Suffocating every time it locks me in
Paint they own pictures, then they crop me
in
But I will remain where the top begins
'Cause I am not a word, I am not a line
I am not a girl that can ever be defined
I am not fly, I am levitation
I represent an entire generation
I hear the criticism loud and clear
That is how I know that the time is near
See we become alive in a time of fear
And I ain't got no motherfucking time to
spare
Cry my eyes out for days upon days
Such a heavy burden placed upon me
But when you go hard your nay's become
yea's
Yankee Stadium with Jay's and Kanye's
I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive
I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise
To fly, to fly
Get ready for it, get ready for it, get ready for
it
I came to win
Get ready for it, get ready for it, get ready for
it
I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive
I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise
To fly, to fly...

One of the things that I wanted to do is to fly. Everyone does wanted that. That's why there are a lot of inventors back then who wanted to experience to fly. So they've created planes - airplanes. I think they wondered what would the sky look up so close. Does the clouds really are fluffy? Childish thought, right? Yet, I still wonder that!
