Generate meaning
1
Yeah, check check, testing
2
It's clear out there? Yeah
3
It's like I'm hang gliding over the hood
4
Never worry, no, no, oh, no
5
Check, let there be light
6
No gang banging in New York tonight
7
Just murals of Biggie Smalls, bigger than life
8
Turn up the kid mic 'cuz ya'll ain't listening right
9
What's all this talk that Nas got bought?
10
I'd rather outline my body in white chalk
11
Ain't nobody been where I been, they at a stand still
12
This is all overseen by my man Will
13
As I walk through the valley, shadow of death
14
I know that I ain't got much time left
15
And they don't really wanna see the good in me
16
Ain't satisfied until they see the fool in me
17
And I, I know my business, so my sins great
18
And I, I thank the hood for all the love they gave
19
And I forgive 'em all, they did they best to hate
20
Oh, let there be light
21
This ain't the glorified, just painting the street picture
22
There's no God in sir Bibles, just blunt and switches
23
Gillette's cut pain in kitchen, now every rapper wanna claim
24
He hang with Kenneth "Supreme" Griffith
25
It's like the same difference 'cept when **** get arraigned
26
They don't want the same sentence, **** get to snitchin'
27
If I could reverse the monsters and turn forward the razas
28
And bring back the **** who was livest
29
Old hustlers, reminiscing on better days
30
They home, doing nothing, might as well be in a cage
31
Hating on young brothers, one foot in the grave
32
They used to love us till we found our own way thru the maze
33
New York, set trippin' and flaggin'
34
Got the West Coast laughing, now Esco's asking
35
What happened? My homegirl from upper Manhattan
36
She remembers the quarters that's Latin, a lotta rat-a-tat-tatting
37
As I walk through the valley, shadow of death
38
I know that I ain't got much time left
39
And they don't really wanna see the good in me
40
Ain't satisfied until they see the fool in me
41
And I, I know my business, so my sins great
42
And I, I thank the hood for all the love they gave
43
And I forgive 'em all, they did they best to hate
44
Oh, let there be light
45
The son of the audio cassette era, tech wearer
46
Bullets and begets, Binzbo's speaker terror
47
Till man I get mine till I'm dead, so I can drive sumpthin' red
48
Like that horse standing on it's hind legs
49
Since Arnold and Willis in they bunk beds, I wanted bread like Wonder
50
Not manned-a-wanno like the parents of Lionel
51
Nas is the Ghetto American Idol
52
No matter what you do you're never getting my title
53
I can't sound smart' cuz ya'll'll run away
54
They say I ain't hungry no more and I don't talk about 'ye
55
Like there's no other way for a ex-hustler
56
Cake ya, the X-ray splitter to touch ya, I beg to differ
57
When you're four years into the game, we can have a conversation
58
Eight years in the game, I invite you on vacation
59
Ten years in the game, after I've enjoyed my fame
60
Only then I let ya pick my brain
61
And I, right about now
62
And I, they don't really know
63
And I, they don't really see, I don't even deal with all that garbage
64
No, no, no, we getting real right, ya know?
65
And I, though I walk through the valley
66
That is Tre Williams ladies and gentlemen
67
And I, they should fear no
68
And I, no, no, focus on good things man, good times, alright
69
As I walk through the valley shadow of death
70
I know that I ain't got much time left
71
And they don't really wanna see the good in me
72
Ain't satisfied until they see the fool in me
73
And I, I know my business, so my sins great
74
And I, I thank the hood for all the love they gave
75
And I forgive 'em all, they did they best to hate
76
Oh, let there be light
77
As I walk through the valley shadow of death
78
I know that I ain't got much time left
79
And they don't really wanna see the good in me
80
Ain't satisfied until they see the fool in me
81
And I, I know my business, so my sins great
82
And I, I thank the hood for all the love they gave
83
And I forgive 'em all, they did they best to hate
84
Oh, let there be light
85
Oh, let it be, let it be, yeah, yeah
86
Let it be, let it be
