[Hook]
2
No idea's original, there's nothing new under the sun
3
It's never what you do, but how it's done
4
What you base your happiness around? Material, women, and large paper
5
That means you inferior, not major
6
[Verse 1: Nas]
7
If niggas could look inside my mind, you'll find
8
Where bodies are buried, first look past the hotties who dimes
9
Go to the center, enter with caution, past the brain cell graveyard
10
Where weed's responsible for memory loss
11
Let's witness, the horrific, the stench'll make you nauseous
12
See what I seen every day I live with this torture
13
Lightin' spliffs up to stay high like 24 hours
14
Sleep with my heat, wash with my gun in the shower
15
My tongue is power, it thrills women, kills demons
16
Long as I'm still breathin' I'm still winnin', I'll teach 'em
17
The hood converted from trey bags to 20's a girl
18
Everybody had money, every summer was real ill
19
Four-finger rings, dope dealers, 'caine/Kane
20
"No Half Steppin'" with flat tops when Rakim reigned
21
Radios on card tables, Benetton, the Gods buildin'
22
Ask for today's mathematics, we Allah's children
23
And this was goin' on in every New York ghetto
24
Kids listened, Five Percenters said it's pork in Jell-o
25
We coincide, we in the same life, maybe a time difference
26
On a different coast, but we share the same sunlight
27
You're part of the world, might be like colors and gangs
28
While on my side, brothers'll murder for different things
29
But it all revolve around drugs, fame and shorties
30
Stuck for your bling, stripped for your chain, the same story
31
From, Czechoslovakia to Texas metropolis
32
Them treacherous rastas in the Mexican mafias
33
Be scrapping with tats on they back, violent wars
34
Nothing less than a lethal injection if ever caught
35
Courtrooms, eagles and flags, American style
36
While in our world, the ghetto stays incredibly foul
37
Watching for paint chips, don't want no lead in yo' child
38
But them gangstas put lead in yo' child, the bezzy be out
39
The chain be like a hundred K
40
Shining since Roxanne Shante' made "Runaway"; that's been a minute
41
Genesis is deep, my features are that of a God
42
It's not a facade it's a fact, these rappers wanna be Nas
43
My Exodus doesn't exist, I'll never leave the streets, it's all in my mind
44
Even with sleep I'm duckin nines in my dreams
45
Si-rens, wide awake, why'd I think it would change
46
Can't hide when you famous or even try to do the same things
47
Like, somebody's always watching
48
My life before I, walk out the door I size up every option
49
Eyes cut every direction, it's like God or guns
50
Which is better protection? Can't decide, that's a hard one
51
I mean they wanna see me in prison, the chains bamboozled
52
Headline reading "Rapper Slain From a Man Shootin'"
