Yo, I want the Langston Hughes and Alex Haley
3
Got blazed before they told stories
4
I'ma get blazed before I tell y'all stories
5
I saw on tv today, this man lost his son, his son died
6
So he had him cremated, took his ashes, and then made it to a Diamond ring
7
Now he watches his son shine everyday
8
I just thought about that, while I sit here ashing in this ash tray, yea
9
[Verse 1: Nas]
10
The makin' of a mad band
11
Intricate stories of DeVante Swing
12
Ava Gardner, the crashin' of James Dean
13
Bobby Brown influenced by Rick James and it goes..
14
Prince wanted Alexander O'Neal to be Morris Day or Jerome
15
But Alex was puttin' coke in his nose, nigga whylin'
16
Could be a myth but I swear that the source was close, Phyllis Hyman
17
Killed herself, it was crazy, mommy was bad they say
18
Donny Hathaway freefall from a balcony, he swings

[HooK: Nas]
20
As the blunt ash falls into the ash tray
21
I could see my whole life fly past me
22
Did I?, did I keep it gangsta or keep it classy?
23
And will the money and fame out last me?
24
The blunt's ash falls down in the ash tray
25
Will I see my whole life fly past me?
26
I'm askin' did I keep it gangsta or keep it classy?
27
Did I?... anything else you wanna know, just wanna ask me?
28
[Verse 2: Nas]
29
Sam trusted Womack with his main lady
30
He tossin' in the grave, like, "this is how you repay me"?
31
A change gon' come, wish you didn't trust me so much
32
Marvin said "no mountain's high enough, fly stuff"
33
David Ruffin was punchin' Tammy Terrell, gave her concussions
34
While the Funk Brothers was layin' down the percussion
35
When Flo from the Surpremes died, Diana Ross cried
36
Many people said that she was laughin' inside
37
[HooK: Nas]
38
As the blunt ash falls into the ash tray
39
I could see my whole life fly past me
40
Did I?, did I keep it gangsta or keep it classy?
41
And will the money and fame out last me?
42
The blunt's ash falls down in the ash tray
43
Will I see my whole life fly past me?
44
I'm askin' did I keep it gangsta or keep it classy?
45
Did I?... anything else you wanna know, just wanna ask me?
46
[Verse 3: Nas]
47
John F. Kennedy's, enemies dealt with treachery
48
It interests me, Judy Campbell in Gucci sandals
49
She's what a temptress be
50
The death of Ennis Cosby, what a mystery
51
Or the Chicagoan Harold Washington
52
Someone is sabotaging them
53
Watch out for the traps
54
Larry Troutman killed his brother Roger Troutman
55
Then he killed himself, that's the end of Zapp
56
And I wouldn't change a thing, mistakes of the greats
57
This is what came from their pain
58
From their hurt we gain, an unfair exchange
59
[HooK: Nas]
60
As the blunt ash falls into the ash tray
61
I could see my whole life fly past me
62
Did I?, did I keep it gangsta or keep it classy?
63
And will the money and fame out last me?
64
The blunt's ash falls down in the ash tray
65
Will I see my whole life fly past me?
66
I'm askin' did I keep it gangsta or keep it classy?
67
[Outro: Nas (over the hook)]
68
I could smell old bogey cigars
69
Long record perfumes, smellin' just as sweet, ha-ha
70
Me and my wife K, flyin' in a drop-top like Ruby and Ottis Davis baby
71
Knaw'mean?, yo man, I get smoked out, and start thinkin' about
72
Patty McDaniels got a Oscar, for playin' Mami in 'Gone With The Wind'
73
And she didn't get allowed, wasn't even allowed to go to the premier
74
Could'ya'believe that?, couldn't go to premier to her joint
75
Tssk. man, you know they were strong back then man
76
Blunt from my ash tray, nothin' gon' to live past me, yea, yea, yea
