1
Uh, yeah turn it up, check it out
2
[Nas:]
3
The transition from a young fool
4
Broke, still on his neck, he hung jewels
5
Live his life in the ghetto where guns rule
6
It was cool wasn't mad, I had to take out cabs
7
Made my first LP afford an h-class, my face gassed '94
8
Sold out in every record store
9
Local hood rats who wouldn't speak
10
Now I'm who they're checking for
11
Showing crazy love ran up on stage with 80 thugs
12
After the shows, my niggas robbed the bar and wrecked the clubs
13
Happy, no hating, more henny, more blunts circulating
14
My single in rotation on every radio station
15
Eyes popped when I drove my first ride on the block
16
Summertime, block parties, cookouts, I spend my knot
17
Truly niggas was fighting over who was closely to me
18
Happy with the new representative of QB
19
To hit the top first you have to gotta fall before you make it
20
With for 4 minutes of your time, watch me demonstrate it
21
[Chorus: Slick Rick & (Nas) Samples]
22
This was the rise and fall of my fast lane style
23
(From Nasty to Nas to Nas Escobar)
24
(Mega popular center of attraction)
25
I was the main event on the TV for a while
26
This was the rise and fall of my fast lane style
27
(From Nasty to Nas to Nas Escobar)
28
(Mega popular center of attraction)
29
I was the main event on the TV for a while
30
[Nas:]
31
Came alize in the winter some of us rise to great adventure
32
I've brung New York back to real rap Venice
33
New crib, diamond rings, killers on my team
34
Infinites for my girl for giving birth to my queen
35
3G's worth of chronic and weed, promoters were mad
36
I stopped doing shows to spend time in the street
37
Loot the crime, eventually sold my shine
38
Repo looking for my Lex, back then I wasn't buying
39
You can guess niggas started saying "With all the success
40
Why is your mom still in the project? " I answered them best
41
Fuck out my face, pistol on my car four clip
42
I read about Pablo Escobar and got on some shit
43
So called mans supplied my chips, I was fronting
44
Niggas thought I was risk and got mad 'cause they was pumping
45
My assumption, niggas want me pumped in the casket
46
Kept the gun the same three/fifth that a nigga got bagged with
47
[Chorus: Slick Rick & (Nas) Samples]
48
[Nas:]
49
Caught a case now, I'm home staring off into space
50
Flashbacks of all the jewelry, cars, crossing my face
51
Rappers I met, hoes in video cassette
52
No management, no more good life and no respect
53
Hearing crowds roar, crystal pouring mixed drinks
54
Haunted by the thoughts; the second year album sophomore jinx
55
Where did I fell? Death threats, woke up in cold sweats
56
Thinking about all these murders that know where I rest
57
From hanging with crazy cliques that's known to take shit
58
Bracelets, and all that beef now I'm involved, was paperless
59
My cars were auctioned off, now I catch rides with kidnap niggas
60
Who snatched babies off to get back figures, Lessons from heaven
61
Every night I slept with my weapon to guard my family for a minute
62
I forgot my profession, not from Columbia or Nicaragua
63
Don't distribute coke from Antigua, that shipped out to Panama
64
Pablo Escobar's bloody reign came to an end
65
Far from my life; a kid who made his fame from a pen
66
Hit the studio and change the game again
67
Wrote down all the pain within, top of the charts
68
Triple platinum, got the fake love back, money stacks, more plaques
69
Have you seen who I was? Just to know where I was at
70
Saw both sides of the game, all the ups and downs
71
This goes out to the future rap kings coming up now
72
[Chorus: Slick Rick & (Nas) Samples]
