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.

I'm a, a diva, hey 

I'm a, I'm a, a diva, hey

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

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

I know you read the paper 

The one that they call a queen 

Every radio round the world know me 

'Cause that's where I be

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

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

Tell me somethin' where your boss at? 

Where my ladies up in there that like to talk back 

I wanna see ya, I'd like to meet cha 

What you said, she ain't no diva

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 see you, I do the same 

Take it to another level 

No passengers on my plane

I'm a, a diva, hey 

I'm a, I'm a, a diva, hey 

I'm a, I'm a, a diva, hey 

I'm a, I'm a, a diva

I need them bags, uh, that money 

Stick up, stick up 

You see them ask where that money

Na, na, na, diva is a female version of a hustla 

Of a hustla, of a, of a hustla

I'm a, I'm a, a diva, I'm a, I'm a, a diva, hey.

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.
