Princess Nokia – ArtStar Lyrics

Hip Hop/Rap

Uh-huh

Give it to me, you know I like that
Give it to me, you know I like that (uh-huh)
Give it to me, you know I like that
Give it to me, you know I like that (uh-huh)

There's a difference from a star and a girl in a moment
Half of y'all is temporary, and you don't even know it
You had your 15 and I seen that you blown it
My bad, I had to show it, I think you had to know it
There's a big, big difference from bitches who write lines
And bitches who write rhymes and bitches who sign lines
And they ran out of ink, and they can't even sing
I am the trip three and I do all three

Matter of fact, now four, just because I can act
I steal the whole scene, call me Miss Mary Mags
I am the top tier, you the following act
I headline the stage, you the fan in the back
My pen ink, it flows and it goes so silly
Write my own rhymes, I don't just look pretty

Go ahead, girl, do the ArtStar, girl
Go ahead, girl, do the ArtStar, girl (uh-huh)
Go ahead, girl, do the ArtStar, girl
Go ahead, girl, do the ArtStar, girl (uh-huh)
Go ahead, girl, do the ArtStar, girl (uh-huh)
Go ahead, girl, do the ArtStar, girl (uh-huh)
Go ahead, girl, do the ArtStar, girl (uh-huh)
Go ahead, girl, do the ArtStar, girl (uh-huh)

I am the art star, I should be in a museum
Nailed a coffin to you girlies and we closed the mausoleum
You ain't really doing numbers, I just call them as I see them
I think your time is up, went from a.m. to the p.m
A bunch of riders in the room, do you need that much?
I'm King Triton, daughter, with the Midas touch
I'm King Triton, daughter, I'm the mermaid girl
I pray to Yemọja or the yee-eh-ho

Go ahead, girl, do the ArtStar, girl
Go ahead, girl, do the ArtStar, girl (uh-huh)
Go ahead, girl, do the ArtStar, girl
Go ahead, girl, do the ArtStar, girl (uh-huh)
Go ahead, girl, do the ArtStar, girl (uh-huh)
Go ahead, girl, do the ArtStar, girl (uh-huh)
Go ahead, girl, do the ArtStar, girl (uh-huh)
Go ahead, girl, do the ArtStar, girl (uh-huh)

I finally understand myself and my process
And I respect everyone, but I know myself best
And I don't like working with writers
I don't like working with a lot of producers
The formula to my success is silence, isolation, stillness
My talent is best suited in that environment

I know what works and I know what doesn't work
I know what I like, who I like, what I want to make
And everyone who works with me, they respect me
They don't question it, in fact they encourage it
And yeah, I wrote this entire album by myself in a span of one year
And I had the fuckin' best time, and it's the greatest album I've ever made
So I know what I'm doing, I trust my process
