10. Nicki Minaj - Anaconda Boy toy named Troy Used to live in Detroit
Big dope dealer money
He was getting some coins
Was in shootouts with the law
But he live in a palace
Bought me Alexander Mcqueen
He was keeping me stylish
Now that's real, real, real
Gun in my purse
I came dressed to kill
Who wanna go first?
I had them push daffodils
I'm high as hell
I only took a half of pill
I'm on some dumb

11. Not Afraid - Eminem I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
To take a stand, to take a stand
Everybody, everybody
Come take my hand, come take my hand
We'll walk this world together through the storm
Whatever weather, cold or warm
Just lettin' you know that you're not alone
Holla if you feel like you've been down the same road
I'ma be what I set out to be, without a doubt, undoubtedly
And all those who look down on me, I'm tearing down your balcony
