3
Pushin drop-tops, Stacy Lattisaw tapes, the 80's had us all apes
4
Youngest gorillas up to bat at home plate
5
That was a uncanny era, guns in my pants
6
Yeah X-Clan hair, with dreads at the top of my fade
7
Homicide and feds on the blocks where I played, b-ball
8
That's when I wondered was I here for the cause, or be-cause
9
Cause Ray Charles could see the ghetto
10
Was told to stay strong and I could beat the Devil
11
Cause yo, I used to play Apollo balcony seats
12
Watchin niggaz swing razors in the front row, then out in the streets
13
The car show, 560's, chemical afros
14
Acuras pumpin Super Lover Cee and Casanova
15
Live chicks be, asses bustin out of they clothes
16
Wearin lip gloss, big door knockers pealin they earlobes
17
So where them years go? Where the old gold beers and cheers go?
18
But now them shorties here doe, so
19
[Chorus:]
20
The doo rags are back, fitted hats, snorkels and furs
21
Riker's Island bustin, still packed, what's the word?
22
The drinkers stay drinkin, or puffin they herb
23
And I'm, still enjoyin life's ride; one mo' time
24
The doo rags are back, fitted hats, snorkels and furs
25
Riker's Island bustin, still packed, what's the word?
26
The drinkers stay drinkin, or puffin they herb
27
And I'm, still enjoyin life's ride; right?
28
[Nas]
29
Political thugs in shark suits persuade us to pull triggers
30
In army boots, yellin "Join the armed forces!"
31
We lost the Vietnam War, intoxicated poisons
32
Needles in arms of veterans instead of bigger fortunes
33
There's still a lot of niggas callin in the coorporate offices
34
War in the ghetto, we crabs in a barrel, they torture us
35
They won't be servin the beast too long
36
The murderers wearin police uniforms, confederate flags I burn
37
Beat Street breakers were dancin to the music I chose
38
And Peachtree Atlantic crackheads was tootin they nose
39
In frozen corners of Chicago, loaded up Llama's, children
40
With fo'-fo's, and double-revolvers
41
We devil incarnates, headed for jail
42
Where Shell gas company in South Africa be havin us killed
43
Your paper money was the death of Christ
44
And all these shorties comin up just resurrect your life
45
It's like a cycle
46
[Chorus:]
47
[Nas]
48
Niggas used to wear rags on they hair when it was fried up
49
That's when we were lied to, buyin hair products
50
Back before my generation, when our blackness started disintegratin
51
'Til awareness started penetratin
52
The styles come from prison, they used potatoes makin liquor
53
Just to prove we some creative niggaz
54
Turnin nothin into somethin, is God work
55
And you get nothin without struggle and hard work
56
War is necessary to my niggas in chains
57
From Greene to Sing-Sing, I'm wantin y'all to know one thing
58
The hardest thing is to forgive, but God does
59
Even if you murdered or robbed, yeah it's wrong, but God loves
60
Take one step toward him, he takes two toward you
61
Even when all else fail, God support you
62
I done it, got God Son on my stomach
63
My heart and my lungs was affected from Henny's and gettin blunted
64
Do your body right and it loves you back
65
You only get one life, and yo because of that
66
I'm still blazin, goin out for the cause
67
Still rockin stockin caps, not for the waves, obeyin no laws
68
And it's like that
69
[Chorus:]
