18
[Verse 1]
19
Yeah, niggaz smoke, laugh, party, and die in the same corner
20
Get cash, live fast, body their man's mama
21
Rich ass niggaz is ridin' with three llamas
22
Revenge in their eyes, Hennesy and the ganja
23
Word to the wise with villain state of minds
24
Grindin', hittin' Brazilian dimes from behind
25
Grindin', hittin' Brazilian dimes from behind
26
(Grindin', hittin' Brazilian dimes from behind)
27
Whenever, if ever, I roll up, it's sown up
28
Any ghetto will tell ya Nas helped grow us up
29
My face once graced promotional Sony trucks
30
Hundred million in billin', I helped build 'em up
31
Gave my nigga my right, I could have gave left
32
So like my girl Foxy, a nigga went Def
33
So nigga, who's your top ten?
34
Is it MC Shan? Is it MC Ren?
35
[Hook]

49
The bigger the cap, the bigger the peelin'
50
Come through, something ill, missin' the ceilin'
51
What influenced my raps? Stick ups and killings
52
Kidnappings, project buildings, drug dealings
53
Criticize that, why is that?
54
'cause Nas rap is compared to legitimized crap
55
'cause we love to talk on ass we gettin'
56
Most intellectuals will only half listen
57
So you can't blame jazz musicians
58
Or David Stern with his NBA fashion issues
59
Oh I they like me--in my white tee
60
You can't ice me, we here for life be
61
On my second marriage, hip hop's my first wifey
62
And for that we not takin' it lightly
63
If hip hop should die we die together
64
Bodies in the morgue lie together
65
All together now
66
[Hook]
67
If hip hop should die before I wake
68
I'll put an extended clip inside of my AK
69
Roll to every station, murder the DJ
70
Roll to every station, murder the DJ
71
If hip hop should die before I wake
72
I'll put an extended clip inside of my AK
73
Roll to every station, murder the DJ
74
Roll to every station, murder the DJ
75
[sample]
76
Hip hop just died this mornin'
77
Hip hop just died this mornin'
78
Hip hop just died this mornin'
79
And she's dead, she's dead
80
{*crowd chanting "Hip hop!" becomes beat*}
81
[Verse 3]
82
Everybody sound the same, commercialize the game
83
Reminiscin' when it wasn't all business
84
If it got where it started
85
So we all gather here for the dearly departed
86
Hip hopper since a toddler
87
One homeboy became a man then a mobster
88
If the guys let me get my last swig of Vodka
89
R.I.P., we'll donate your lungs to a rasta
90
Went from turntables to mp3s
91
From "Beat Street" to commercials on Mickey D's
92
From gold cables to Jacobs
93
From plain facials to Botox and face lifts
94
I'm lookin' over my shoulder
95
It's about eighty niggaz from my hood that showed up
96
And they came to show love
97
Sold out concert and the doors are closed shut
will.i.am - T.H.E. (The Hardest Ever) ft...
