Nicki Minaj Drops "Pills N Potions" Lyric Video

FUSE TV - Nicki Minaj Drops "Pills N Potions" Lyric Video

UPDATE: One week after premiering the track, Nicki is releasing the first of two planned lyric videos for "Pills N Potions." It's pretty literal (many pills are shown and potion-like smoke travels throughout the video) and not terribly exciting, so here's hoping the second one will take it up a notch. You can watch it above. 

5/21 Story: Nicki Minaj has been known for incorporating characters into her tracks—"Roman Reloaded" anyone? But on her new single "Pills N Potions," her Minajesty returns with what might be sweetest character yet. Though, of course, it comes with a bit of bite.

Listen above to hear Nicki spit reflective lyrics over a subtle, piano-led beat, courtesy of pop-production maestro Dr. Luke (Nicki's Va Va Voom," Pitbull's "Timber," Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball"). The MC also sings over the bridge and choruses, handling the catchy "I still love, I still love, I still lu-uh-uhve" hook.

But this isn't a gushy, positivity ballad: Nick still brings loaded lines like, "I spin off in a Benzie / I see the envy when I'm causin' a frenzy" and rises above haters who "looking so ungrateful / I'mma keep it movin' / Be classy and graceful."
