(featuring Quan)
2
From the 12" "Just A Moment"
3
[Verse 1: Quan]
4
Can we please have a moment of silence?
5
That's for my niggaz doin' years in confinement
6
And for my soldiers that passed over, no longer living
7
That couldn't run whenever the reaper came to get 'em
8
Can we please pour out some liquor?
9
Symobolizin', let's take in time to consider that
10
Though our thugs ain't here, the love is here
11
And we gon' rep 'til slugs kill us here
12
This for my dawgs stuck in the struggle tryin' to gain
13
Smokin' trauma, sniffin' Ra while sellin' cocaine
14
Trapped in the game, not knowin' how to stop and get by
15
To live it alive, so instead they live it to die
16
Can we please have a moment of peace?
17
For every G that fell for his flag in the streets
18
Bloodin' and thuggin', folkin' and lokin'
19
Crypin' and creepin', Latin and kingin'
20
Or just for poor righteous teachin'
21
[Chorus: Quan sings]
22
As days comes and night falls
23
For the rest of our life we'll miss y'all.
24
And even though life must go on, we still mourn.
25
While wishin' y'all were home
26
[Verse 2: Nas]
27
Yeah, and can we have another moment of silence?
28
For brothers who died from black-on-black violence
29
From here to the Dark Continent were rebels sell diamonds
30
To clients all through the world, got little Black girls dyin'
31
And can we please pour some more liquors?
32
For Will, Bokeem, Bar, Pappy -- my niggaz
33
Here's another Warrior Song from Nasty and Quan
34
It's to him I pass the baton to carry this on
35
Street's Disciple, salute to those who's gone with bullets
36
And I promise through rhymin' Quan gon' rep his life to the fullest
37
And can we please have a moment of truth?
38
For soldiers and troops away with helmets and boots
39
And families back home that pray they make it home safe
40
Hopin' that they don't get hit with a stray or missiles
41
This is just a moment to let you all know that we miss you
42
Mommy I'm still here, wishin' I was there with you
43
Let's take 'em home
44
[Chorus]
45
[Verse 3: Quan]
46
And can we please have a moment to mourn?
47
For Pac, Biggie and Pun 'cause through us they live on
48
Jam Master Jay, Freaky Ty and Alliyah
49
Big L and Left Eye, when we die we wish to see ya...
50
[Nas]
51
Photographs of lost memories,
52
On the block with blunts and Hennessey,
53
Pictures of niggas in mock neck shirts,
54
Valentine nail ' brown bags
55
Brothers like to brag bout their cousins
56
That's locked in the system,
57
we all fall victim, we all call Christian
58
The Islamic faith,to restore all our faith
59
Barb wire, tall brick wall but we all can't escape
60
[Chorus]
Nas - Just a Moment (Official Video) ft....
