Permainan kata ‘lie’ yang berbeda arti. Bagus tuh. Isi lagunya sih standar, mempertanyakan kebohongan dan sebagainya. Di penggalan rap ya biasa, ada penggalan waw nya, hehe. Ini ceritanya curhatan dua perempuan yang sama-sama pernah dibohongi lelaki.

Do you ever think of me when you lie?
Lie down in your bed, your
bed of liesAnd I knew better than to look in your eyes
They only pretend you would be mine
And you know how you made me believe
You had me caught in every web that you weaved
But do you ever think of me when you lie?
Lie down in your bed, your bed of lies
Aku tak tahu, entahlah. Apakah ia pernah memikirkan perihal diriku ketika sedang berbaring sendirian di peraduan dustanya? Saat kutatap kedua matamu, keduanya menyiratkan bahwa kamu seolah benar-benar milikku. Kau tahu bagaimana cara meyakinkanku bahwa saya harus percaya sepenuhnya kepadamu. Kau menjeratku selalu di setiap jaring yang kamu pintal. Entahlah apa pernah sekalipun kamu memikirkan perihal diriku ketika kamu berbaring sendirian di
peraduan dustamu.[Nicki Minaj]
You could never make eye contact
Everything you got was based off of my contacts
You a fraud, but I'mma remain icon-stat
Balenciagas on my boots with the python strap
You was caught up in the rush
And you was caught up in the thrill of it
You was with me way before I hit a quarter mil' in it
Put you in the crib
And you ain't never pay a bill in it
I was killin' it, man, you got me poppin' pills in it
I told baby hit you
I said this nigga buggin'
Cause I was doing it for us, I told 'em fuck the public
Couldn't believe that I was home alone, contemplating
Overdosin', no more coastin'
No more toastin' over oceans
They say you don't know what you got 'til it's gone
They say that your darkest hour
Come before your dawn
But there was something
That I should've asked all along
I'mma ask on the song
Benar, saya juga merasa menyerupai itu. Aku malah tak pernah bisa memandang eksklusif kedua matanya. Beberapa barang glamor ia berikan, tapi tak pernah cinta yang kudapatkan. Meski ia sedang berada di buaianku, ia tak pernah membayarku dengan kasih sayangnya. Ia tak pernah bersedia mengumumkan kedekatan kami. Selalu saja banyak alasannya. Aku ingin mengerti, ia mungkin punya banyak celah untuk di huni dalam hati. Akan tetapi, saya sungguh tak ingin mengerti. Karena itu, banyak pertanyaan yang harus kusampaikan kepadanya mulai ketika ini.
[Nicki Minaj]
I just figured if you saw me, if you looked in my eyes
You'd remember our connection and be freed from the lies
I just figured I was something that you couldn't replace
But there was just a blank stare and I couldn't relate
I just couldn't understand and I couldn't defend
What we had, what we shared, and I couldn't pretend
When the tears roll down
It's like you ain't even notice 'em
If you had a heart
I was hoping that you would show it some
What the fuck you really telling me? What you telling me?
I could tell you lying, get the fuck out, don't yell at me
I ain't mean to cut you, I ain't wanna catch a felony
This ain't 'How to be a player'
You ain't Bill Bellamy
They say you don't know what you got 'til it's gone
They say that your darkest hour
Come before your dawn
But there was something that
I should've asked, all along
I'mma ask on the song
Aku ingin tahu, apakah kelak ketika melihatku lagi beliau akan sadar akan kekerabatan kami, kemudian menyadari kesalahannya dan mulai untuk tak berdusta. Aku masih tak bisa membaca arti tatapannya, jadi saya tak tahu apakah semua alasan yang ia kemukakan kepadaku benar adanya. Aku hanya bisa meminta, jikalau ia memang benar mencintaiku, setidaknya ia harus menawarkan kepadaku. Jangan lagi ada dusta, jangan lagi ada teriakan kemarahan. Kau bukan Bill Bellamy, jadi jangan mulai bermain hati, atau kamu akan terjebak di dalamnya dan tak bisa lepas lagi. Orang-orang bilang kamu memang menjadi menggila ketika malam tiba. Tapi saya tak peduli lag.

So does she know I've been in that bed before?
A thousand count, and not a single threaded truth
If I was just another girl
Then I'm ashamed to say that I'm not over you
There's one thing I need to know
So call me when you're not so busy
Just thinking of yourself
Jadi, apakah para perempuan lain itu tahu bahwa pernah ada saya di peraduanmu? Beribu kalimat, tak satupun kebnaran kutemukan darimu. Aku mengerti, bahwa saya hanyalah salah satu koleksimu. Aku ingin mengerti semuanya. Banyak pertanyaan yang ingin kutujukan, jadi, jikalau nanti kamu punya waktu luang, tolong hubungi saya lagi.
Do you ever think of me when you lie?

You had me caught in every web that you weaved
But do you ever think of me when you lie?
Lie down in your bed, your bed of lies
Aku ingin tahu, apakah ketika kamu berbaring di peraduan dustamu kamu pernah sekali saja memikirkan perihal diriku.
