Nicki Miniaj is sitting her booty bouncing antics aside and digging deeper on her
latest track. The intensely private MC is opening up on family, relationships,
and even a pregnancy she experienced as a teenager on a recently linked single
off her hotly anticipated The Pink Print album, entitled
“All Things Go.” The leaked track has been snatched down from most media
outlets due to a copyright issue, but you can peep the lyrics here.
Nicki Minaj is one to keep her private life private, but on
her third studio album, The Pinkprint, the rapper is laying bare. She opens her
third The Pinkprint with one of her most vulnerable and sincere songs to date,
“All Things Go.”“All Things Go” — produced by Boi-1day, Vinylz, and Allen
Ritter and co-written by Ester Dean — features Minaj speaking candidly verse by
verse.On the first verse, the 31-year-old rapper admits to
hesitantly accepting a proposal 10 years ago (“Ten years ago was when you
proposed/ I looked down… ‘Yes, I suppose'”), while on the second verse she
addresses her little cousin’s death, which still haunts her (“Ni–as trying to
kill him/ He ain’t even call me/ And that’s a reflection of me, yes I get it, I
get it was all me/ I’ll pop a pill and remember the look in his eyes the last
day he saw me”).
On third verse, she details why she’s protective over her
relationship with her mother and brothers, including her younger brother Caiah
(“The more I work, the more I feel like somehow they’re neglected”).She closes the verse revealing that she lost a baby of hers
and her ex’s 16 years ago. (“My child with Aaron would have been 16, any minute/
So in some ways I feel like Caiah is the both of them/ It’s like he’s Caiah’s
little angel, looking over him”).Wow. Nicki is getting a whole lot more introspective than
usual for this new track. We wonder what other surprises she has up her sleeve
for the rest of The Pink Print. Via Billboard
