Nicki Minaj Ft Billie Eilish – Are You Gone Already Lyrics
“Are You Gone Already” is the intro track to Trinidadian rapper Nicki Minaj’s fifth studio album Pink Friday 2.
Over emotional production and a sample of Billie Eilish’s 2019 track “when the party’s over”, Minaj discusses the 2021 death of her father, Robert Maraj, with her expressing her grief and lamenting that her son never got the opportunity to meet his grandfather.
The track’s existence, as well as Eilish’s involvement, was revealed through a Twitter post from Minaj on December 7, 2023, hours prior to the album’s release.
Are You Gone Already Lyrics by Nicki Minaj Ft Billie Eilish
[Intro: Nicki Minaj]
What you doin’, Papa? Hi
No, uh-uh, say hi
[Chorus: Billie Eilish]
Don’t you know I’m no good for you?
I’ve learned to lose you, can’t afford to
Tore my shirt to stop you bleedin’
But nothin’ ever stops you leavin’
Quiet when I’m comin’ home and I’m on my own
[Verse 1: Nicki Minaj & Billie Eilish]
You never got to meet Papa (I could lie, say I like it like that)
He sweet proper, he keep Mama on my toes (Like it like that)
I needed help, you booked a flight (I could lie, and say I like it like that)
In three days, you’d meet Papa (Like it like that, mm)
The waiting, the gazing
The painting, the raging
The ravin’, the pacing
The praying, the shaking
I must admit, I was breaking
I must admit, I was taking
I must admit, my heart was racing
Telephone ring, he didn’t make it
I just believed you’d awaken
A memory in the makin’
Call me
Won’t you call me? (Call)
No, you gone
[Chorus: Billie Eilish & Nicki Minaj]
Don’t you know too much already? (Are you gone already?)
I’ll only hurt you if you let me
Call me friend, but keep me closer (Call me back)
And I’ll call you when the party’s over
Quiet when I’m coming home and I’m on my own
[Verse 2: Nicki Minaj & Billie Eilish]
So deal, Nika, it’s real, Nika (I could lie, say I like it like that)
Don’t stress, Onika, so blessed, Onika (Like it like that)
Today, it’s 12/3/23 (I could lie, say I like it like that)
Your baby’s three, he’s the best, Onika (Like it like that)
Set me, set me, set me free
Why didn’t you come back to get me?
Let me, let me, let me be
Why would anyone want to love me?
Rich, yes, but are you happy? (Rich, yes, but are you happy?)
All this guilt you carry is heavy (All of this guilt is heavy)
You’ve already made your peace with me
One day, you’ll have to forgive Mommy
But she knows you know too much already (Don’t you know too much already?)
[Chorus: Billie Eilish]
I’ll only hurt you if you let me
Call me friend, but keep me closer (Call me back)
And I’ll call you when the party’s over
Quiet when I’m coming home and I’m on my own
And I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that
I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that
[Bridge: Billie Eilish]
Nothin’ is better sometimes
Once we’ve both said our goodbyes
Let’s just let it go
Let me let you go
[Chorus: Billie Eilish]
Quiet when I’m comin’ home and I’m on my own
I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that
I could lie, say I like it like that, like it like that
