I can't stop running from my past. I slow to a stop at the alleyway near the area that I met 'them'. If I told you who 'them' is, it wouldn't make sense. So allow me to rewind.

Stop the track, let me state facts
I told you give me a minute and I'll be right back
Fifty million round the world
And they said that I couldn't get it
I done got so sick and filthy with Benji's, I can't spend
How you gone be talkin' shit?
You act like I just got up in it
Been the number one diva in this game for a minute

The one that they call a queen
Every radio round the world know me
'Cause that's where I be

Of a hustla, of a, of a hustla
Na, na, na, diva is a female version of a hustla
Of a hustla, of a, of a hustla
When he pull up, wanna pop my hood up
Bet he better have a six pack in the cooler
Getting money, divas getting money
If you ain't getting money then you ain't got nothing for me

Na, na, na, diva is a female version of a hustla
Of a hustla, of a, of a hustla
Na, na, na, diva is a female version of a hustla
Of a hustla, of a, of a hustla
Since fifteen in my stilettos been struttin' in this game
What's your age? Was the question they asked when I hit the stage
I'm a diva, best believe her, you see her, she getting paid
She ain't callin' him to greet her, don't need him, her bed's made
This is a stick up, stick up
I need them bags, uh, that money
A stick up, stick up
You see them ask, where that money?
All my ladies get it up

I sing at my X-Factor audition in 2009. The judges seem pretty impressed, which makes me smile. After hearing their praise, and getting my great rate, I head out of the building and hail a taxi to take me back to my hotel room. After collecting my stuff, checking out of the Marriott, and heading to the airport, I finally get a chance to think. I'm following my dreams. Finally.
