Secret Garden
Nicki Minaj

[Verse 1]
In this Eden, where my thoughts bloom like daisies,
I’m plucking petals, wondering if he’s crazy.
Life’s a garden, but I’m playing in the weeds,
Growing up in shadows, but my spirit never concedes.

Wit sharp like thorn bushes, gotta keep my defenses,
Got a prickly past, like my old romances.
Petal to the metal, I’m zooming through my dreams,
But sometimes I feel like I’m bursting at the seams.

I’m a rose with thorns, beauty wrapped in a mission,
Every shade of my color fights a different ignition.
They see me as a queen, crown stitched with error,
But deep down, I’m just a seed in search of air.

Habitat of thoughts, got a mind-full of clutter,
Mixing metaphors like I’m baking in the gutter.
Call me the gardener of my own destiny,
Planting seeds of hope, growing endlessly.

Chasing fireflies while dodging the night haze,
I’m lighting up the dark, like it’s Beyoncé’s stage.
Each verse I drop like petals kissed by the rain,
Symbolizing laughter woven with the pain.

[Chorus]
In my secret garden, where the wild thoughts roam,
Nurtured by my verses, finally feel at home.
With metaphors in bloom, I’m embracing the madness,
Every pun I spit, it’s a dance with the sadness.

[Verse 2]
Just like Alice down the rabbit hole of fame,
I’m chasing visions while they play their little games.
Wonderland’s a stage, and I’m the leading act,
Making puns so sharp, they’re always on the attack.

Got rhymes like vines, wrapping tight, won’t let go,
In this overgrown mind, I’m the one who’ll sow.
Taking risks like a gambler at a high-stakes table,
But I’m steady planting roots, feeling quite stable.

Growing from the concrete, that’s my battle cry,
I’m the sun for my garden, watching flowers reply.
Whispers in the wind, hear ‘em singing my tune,
In my secret garden, I’m the queen of June.

So when they ask about my twisted little tale,
I’ll laugh like the Cheshire cat, never let it derail.
Each line a petal, with a story well-dressed,
In this secret garden, I’ll find my rest.

[Bridge]
So here’s to the growth, and the highs and the lows,
To the shade and the light, and whatever life throws.
I’ll keep my heart open, let the sunlight gleam,
In this secret garden, I’ll always chase my dream.
