This message is for young women of all ethnicies. Before you continue to read this beautiful poem, this is not bashing Nicki Minaj's personality. It's bashing what she's portraying. Especially to these young girls thinking they have to become that when they are beautiful the way that they are. This includes knowing your worths and values. You are a queen and you need to act like you are. Treat yourself respectfully. If you don't then who will?
This poem is by Jasmine Mans. I didn't changer neither wrote any of this. All rights go to her. I hope you like this poem as much as I do. In bold is the sayings of Nicki. I will even put it in parenthesis for you users who are reading this on the Wattpad app.
You are being traded paper in exchange for you to be plastic
All Dolls will eventually mal-function
(I don't even know why these girls bother at this point like, like , give it up, it's me. I win you lose)
Nicki Minaj
(It's me).
I must admit
I have always been intrigued by your ass
I guess that's what the world looked like after falling from your shoulders
(Like give it up)
You have a heartbeat of a suicide bomber
A baseline breathing out of your pulse
Your thighs play storage to the weight of the world
I dreamt that you used to back packed, the lost raps, of Female MCs who
could not find their way out the cipher
(You know, it's just like I single handedly annihilated like, every rap bitch in the building)
Traded in your crown for unsharpened pencils and blank CDs
(Like give it up)
Do you ever feel a cord gripping on your neck, choke, spit?
Don't let this industry rape the Assata out of you
(Harijuku-Barbie, Hyphen, Ken, Barbie)
Can and will never be code for queen
You are a queen no matter how many times they try to shuffle you back in
tape decks
Bi, sex, straight, you've earned my respect
(You da Bestest)
But I know your spine binds and crooked lines
And you can't seem to write a rhyme for your broken daughters
Slaughter, bent over back, ass cracked, bitch slapped, in videos
There is nothing pedal bike pretty about broken
Do you know what this media is trying to do to you?
Look in the mirror they will porcelain
(Barbie)
Doll the shit out of you
Leave you nosse-necked hanging from Zion they will Lauryn Hill you
The mis-education of a Barbie Doll coming soon
(I just has an epiphany)
Barbie, I think NYC is making you forget you come from Queens
It's scary when you have whack MC's trying to ghost write your obituary
(You should buy a 16 'cuz I write it good)
Your existence is not recyclable to me
(Barbie)
Stop spitting me toy stories
(Barbie)
Of Woody'sand Buzzlight Years who only come alive when nobody is watching
Fake breasts
Once upon a time before puberty and tissue filled training bras all little girls
wanted a toy chest
What do you treasure?
You have turned your G-spot into a landmine
Dirty, disguting
We have been waiting centuries for a woman like you to carve your stilletos in history
This microphone is not a dildo so you are going to have to come a little harder than that
(I, win, you lose)
Come a little harder for rap
Too many female MCs before you have laid down tracks- U N I T... Y?
So you wouldn't have to record on your back
Spit some shit it for girls who kiss girls and get beat down to their backs
We will remember you for that
Lips sync your screams and remember
MC
(Barbie)
For young money anyone can buy themselves their own
(I'm Nicki Minaj, Nick Lewinski, Nicki the Barbie, Nicki the Boss, Nicki the Ninja)
Crown, Vagina, Womanhood, and Talent
All sold separately
(Barbie)
You are being stabbed in the back
Inserted with a wind up string and a tag
(R-R-R-Roger that)
