[Intro:]
2
42nd street terminal
3
[Verse 1: Nas]
4
Yo, yo, I live it and I speak it
5
My religion is reefer
6
Big money in most, an uninhibited freak to sleep with
7
My visions are realistic, nothing's figurative
8
I can wish it into existence, God want this nigga to live
9
Blunt big as a dread, I get high and forget who bled
10
Who we stomp-kicked in the head and who we left for dead
11
Who are you niggas? Why argue niggas?
12
The truth is the truth, I really put my scars on niggas
13
They wait a lifetime, they tell they hoes, "Nas did this"
14
Pointin' to they scars like, "Right here, baby, really Nas did this"
15
Like a badge of honor, not braggin' I'm just honest
16
War stories we tell them, nothin's realer than karma
17
Sip prohibition liquor, prohibition whiskey
18
Rap Jack Demsey, Matt Black Bentley, pimply
19
Shatterin' your silence, pass around the chalice
20
Due to my Indian ancestry at the weed dispensery
21
Official kings and gents is who I mix and mingle with
22
Fuck your ice, I rock rubies, amethyst
23
I fuck your wife cause she a groupie, scandalous
24
This for my bad hood bitches, ghetto glamorous
25
[Break: Large Professor]
26
Yo, what we talkin' 'bout niggas?
27
What we talkin' 'bout niggas?
28
This is Nas, what, Nas
29
What, Nasty, what, recollect,
30
[Verse 2: Nas]
31
At seventeen I made seventeen thousand livin' in public housin'
32
Integrity in tact, reppin' hard
33
They askin' how he disappear and reappear back on top
34
Sayin', "Nas must have naked pictures of God or somethin'"
35
To keep winnin' is my way like Francis
36
As long as I'm breathin', I'll take chances
37
A soldier comin' home, twenty years old with no legs
38
Sayin' there's no sense to cry and complain, just go 'head
39
So much to write and say, yo I don't know where to start
40
So I'll begin with the basics and flow from the heart
41
I know you think my life is good cause my diamond piece
42
But my life been good since I started finding peace
43
I shouldn't even be smilin', I should be angry and depressed
44
I been rich longer than I been broke, I confess
45
I started out broke, got rich, lost paper then made it back
46
Like Trump bein' up down up, play with cash
47
[Large Professor]
48
My nigga's like a locomotive
49
Nas, we push it, mush 'em
50
Queensbridge to Bushwick
51
Harlem, Bronx, all that
52
You ain't even supposed to be out here
53
You know where you at?
54
Verse 3: Nas]
55
At night, New York, eat a slice too hot
56
Use my tongue to tear the skin hangin' from the roof of my mouth
57
Shit was Falicimo, melted pot, city sweltering hot
58
Staggerin' drunker than those cops that 2pac shot
59
I was a crook by the train with that iron thing, concealed
60
Reachin', soon as I heard them iron wheels screechin'
61
When it came to a halt whoever walked off got caught
62
Toker man safe behind a locked door for sure
63
Minor theif shit, minor league shit, beastin'
64
Lookin' for the young, but now we older chiefin'
65
In my truck, play The Greatest Adventures of Slick Rick
66
Buggin' on how his imagination was so sick
67
It's ghetto beef, sinister niggas snicker through yellow teeth
68
Alchohol agin' my niggas faster than felonies
69
How dare I? Must be, somethin' in the air that corrupts me
70
Look at my upkeep, owned and sublease
71
I'm here y'all
72
[Outro:]
73
This for my trapped in the 90′ s niggas
74
For my trapped in the 90′ s niggas
75
Ha, for y'all niggas
