I was like at this other gig
And I was like rolling a blunt somewhere
And umm...
Gimme a second
That girl thinks she’s queen of the neighborhood
Well I got news for you she is
They say she’s a dyke but I know
That girl is my best friend yeah rebel girl
Anybody got a time check?
Coming
Don’t do coke in the bathroom, do it out
there
We’re not doing any coke
What the hell get out of there I have to pee
Wait until they find out that the person in
here
is trying to get ready for her performance
idiot
You know what?
If I was doing coke I’d like fucking walk
out
Doing a fucking bump in front of her just
to like
Blow it in her face are you kidding me
Watch her face
Oh I’m sorry
Let’s make some noise
Who that is hoe?
That girl is a tomboy
That girl is a tomboy that girl is a tomboy
Who that is hoe?
That girl is a tomboy
That girl is a tomboy that girl is a tomboy
He so in love he think it's a spell
There's levels to magic and he cannot tell
He fuck with my bruja my pussy a spell
My toto is special, got locks like a jail
It's Polo it's Tommy it's Mecca it's Nauti
I'm finna sit back and just sip on Bacardi
You come to my party you gon' meet my army
A room full of girls and we acting real rowdy
New York New York
Her mother passed away she’s really my sister
Her mother passed away and then we raised
her
And then my mom passed away so we became even
closer
Because we were kinda all we had
We both lost our mothers very early and we
only had each other
I think a lot of the album has to do with
like
Being raised by you you know like being like
a really unapologetic
Kinda like really tough feminist
But then we went to foster care and that really
sucked
Because our foster mother was a succubus
I used to get beat and I would go to school
with marks on my face
But because she worked with the school
They wouldn’t say nothin and kids all day
used to ask me
What happened to you your mother beat you?
And I would say no
I remember it was Picture Day she beat the
shit out of me
I had a black eye and she made her sister
put makeup on me
At ten/eleven years old I had to put makeup
on that morning
You know what?
By fifteen years old I realized that
It’s not okay to abuse a child that something
is being taken from me
And I didn’t want to be silent about it
no more
And I told myself the next time she touch
me
Or is even rude to me I’m not gonna have
it no more
And this is someone I used to be so scared
of
I used to live in fear every day
I realized I had three dollars in my pocket
A cell phone with seventy-five percent battery
Fuckin ran out the house I never went back
I never went back at sixteen years old
I cut that chapter out of my life boom
Went to the LES boom my sister was still there
She would be there for a little bit more
I had my dad who lived in the Lower East Side
And I went to go with them and that was it
And then that was really the start of Princess
Nokia
I'm back I'm back I'm back
Don't know how to act
What I got is what you lack
I give it up you hold back
Stuck with the slack I go and stack my stacks
I'm back I'm back I'm back
For $2.50 I can go anywhere I want
Even if they check my bags
I'm hiding weed from the cops
I was on the 6 green line chick
Number one one fifty was the prospy at the
live
And then I think I wanna do that back like
and it repeats
For $2.50 I can go anywhere I want
I think I think you know what I think is good
here
Play it back do it over just that one line
I was on the 6 green line chick
I was on the 6
It’s getting a little smokey
Honestly I only record here because the chemistry
That I have with this mic she my baby
The space I hate boys they so fucking gross
I’m a fucking slob but I’m like a good
slob
This is some other shit I fucking commend
him though
Cause as much as he fucking lives in a mess
The man is a genius so you know it’s a sacrifice
I think you know ultimately
For $2.50 I can go anywhere I want
Even if they check my bags
I'm hiding weed from the cops
I was on the 6 green line chick
I was on the 6
Before I was a model I was a drug dealer
A con artist and when you from the street
You just don’t have one thing that you do
You don’t just have one job you have a couple
of jobs
You have many things to sustain yourself
First of all I wasn’t even a real musician
When I made Bitch I’m Posh I was just trying
To experiment making music
Stupidly and blessingly enough it caught attention
immediately
I was like what the fuck am I gonna do
All these record labels wanna sign me I sound
like shit
I can’t make a record right now I’m like
not in the place
To make a record right now I’d never made
a record before
So then I was therefore being put all this
pressure on me
To make a record and to fit into this mold
Of whatever I was going to be selling to my
demographic
It was like a fucking nightmare it really
took away a lot from me at the time
When you work with an A and R they’re expecting
something from you
They were expecting me to come out with a
gem
And I couldn’t do it it really made me insecure
and self-conscious
I think two years down the line after that
I was like okay I’m not signing with any
labels
And I don’t want to use anybody’s help
I just wanna do this by myself
Yeah hoe
Kitana Kitana Kitana Kitana
Mortal Kombat I'll see you mañana
Mortal Kombat I'll see you mañana
Mortal Kombat I'll see you mañana

Mortal Kombat I'll see you mañana

I step in this bitch and I do what I want
I don't give a damn and I don't give a fuck
So like I say at all these patriarchal male-dominated
events
All the motherfucking girls to the fucking
front
Dancing and singing
No phone is ringing
Babies is peeing
While they aunties is cleaning
Young girls patrons of the Earth
Young girls take care of all the Earth
Young girls they need their own respect
Young girls carry babies from their neck
Young girls young girls young girls
We gonna set up a soul train line
Alright we gotta split it we gotta split it
Hey hey hey
Every Saturday morning
My daddy put it on
Turned up the TV
We danced along
People was dancing
Was in the groove
My daddy showed me
Just how to move
Freak freak y'all
Yes yes y'all
Freak freak y'all
Yes yes y'all
To the beat y'all
I think very innocently I didn’t realize
That the word AIDS was a lot more serious
than I thought
So when I was like ten/eleven I found out
Because people would always tell me she that
was sick
And people didn’t tell me how she died
But people told me I went to school with people
Who asked me what happened to my mother
And I would say that she died- no I remember
actually
I was in school and someone made an AIDS joke
And I said that’s not funny my mom died
of AIDS
And someone said oh I’m so sorry
And I was just like yeah don’t fuck around
I put my mind in my mother’s life a lot
And I think how hard my mother had it
Being such a young kid and being kind of plagued
with this
Social stigma that was very new at the time
Thinking of this you know man-made disease
I think like how innocently my mother was
a victim of that
You know it’s kind of like it’s kind of
futuristic
And post-apocalyptic in a way
I haven’t really thought about my funeral
It’s gonna be a party ah my god
It’s a guest list with an admittance of
plus one only
It’s gonna be fabulous everyone’s gonna
get wasted
I want everybody to just get real scandalous
And then at the end a video is gonna appear
And it’s gonna be like hey guys know you
loved the party
Just wanted to leave you off with even though
I’m dead
I’m still the most fabulous bitch in the
room
I hate people that go New York’s over with
I’m so over New York no I’m not over New
York
How could I be?
I still live in the Bronx
I live the place where hip-hop was born
My parents are B-boys and B-girls
You know they grew up break dancing and
Experiencing hip-hop for the first time
So I get to still experience a very authentic
Life in New York and I still get to fall in
love with it
A lot all over again and that’s what I did
this summer
Making the record I just used to go to all
my old neighborhoods
And I would write for five hours
Rotten apple to the core
Damn I been a fuck up
Getting picked for last in gym
I can't even do a lay up
I skipped all my classes and
Still managed to pass them all
Reading comics in Forbidden Planet
I go home to a place of fantasy outside my
own
Patsy’s for the eats Casablanca’s for
the meats
La Tropezienne for the bread
Went to Hajjis got a Philly cheese instead
Round the corner to Ollin
So right there I name five places
Five eateries on the surface of five blocks
It’s all of First Avenue alone
I talk about there’s a very famous Italian
You know wise guy restaurant and I say
Rao’s on the corner have you ever been inside
There’s a guy at the table eats fazul as
he cries
And I pictured this old Italian gangster eating
fazul
And I kinda really liked these cinematic New
York characters
And stories and that really is the core of
my work
I love you I’m proud of you this is amazing
wow
Blessings for love for everything cheers to
wow
You guys having a good time
We’re all here for 1992 right?
I had a lot of fun fucking making that record
I’ll be honest with you
Because I got to rap again and a lot of people
Used to ask me like why don’t you rap or
Why don’t you continue rapping and
I wasn’t ready I’m ready now
