Nicki Minaj - Brand New Me

It's been a while
I'm not who I was before
You look surprised
Your words don't burn me anymore
Been meaning to tell you
But I guess it's clear to see
Don't be mad
It's just a brand new kind of me
Can't be bad
I found a brand new kind of free

Careful with your ego
He's the one that we should blame
Handicraft my heart back
Got to do something after change
I thought that you'd be happy
I found the one thing I need
Why you mad
It's just a brand new kind of me
Never bad
I found a brand new kind of free

We took a long, long road to get here
It took a brave, brave girl to try
It took one too many excuses
And one too many lies
Don't be surprised, don't be surprised If I walk a little taller
If I speak up when you're wrong
If I walk a little taller
I been under you too long
If you notice that I'm different
Don't take it personally
Don't be mad
It's just a brand new kind of me

We took a long, long road to get here
It took a brave, brave girl to try
I've taken one too many excuses
And one too many lies
Don't be surprised, see you look surprised

If I were a friend
You'd want to get to know me again
If you are worth the while
You'd be happy to see me smile
I'm not expecting sorry
I'm too busy finding myself
I got this, I found me, I found, yeah

I don't need your opinion
I'm not waiting for your O.K.
I'll never be perfect
But at least now I'm brave
Now my heart is open
And I can finally breathe
Don't be mad
It's just a brand new kind of free
That ain't bad
I found a brand new kind of me
Don't be mad
It's just a brand new time for me
