"Fly" 
(feat. Rihanna) 
[Chorus - Rihanna:] 
I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive 
I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise 
To fly 
To fly 
[Nicki Minaj:] 
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 Neo when they're 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 
[Chorus - Rihanna:] 
I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive 
I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise 
To fly 
To fly 
[Nicki Minaj:] 
Everybody wanna try to box me in 
Suffocating every time it locks me in 
Painting their 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 their criticism loud and clear 
That is how I know that the time is near 
So 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 yay's 
Yankee Stadium with Jay-Z and Kanye 
[Chorus - Rihanna:] 
I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive 
I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise 
To fly 
To fly 
[Bridge - Nicki Minaj:] 
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 
I came to win, to fight, to conquer, to thrive 
I came to win, to survive, to prosper, to rise 
To fly 
To fly
