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