[Chorus]
|
You motherfuckers better do your job and roll up and watch how we roll up and
|
I can't control it, can't hold it, it's so nuts
|
I take a sip of that yak, I wanna fuck
|
I take a hit of that chronic, it got me stuck
|
But really what's amazing is how I keep blazing
|
Towel under the door smoke until the days end
|
Puff, puff then pass, don't fuck up rotation
|
Hpnotic for Henny, now nigga that's your chaser
|
Turn nothin to something now pimpin' that's a savior
|
Best things are green now pimp and get your paper
|
High off the ground instead of skyscraper
|
Cool off thinkin' we local, come on homie, we major
|
|
We major (come on, homie, we major) [repeat]
|
|
Feeling better than some head on a sunday afternoon
|
Better than a chick that say yes to soon
|
Until you have a daughter, that's what I call karma
|
And you pray to god she don't grow breasts too soon.
|
Projects to' up, gang signs is thrown up
|
Niggas hats broke off that's how we grow up
|
Why else you think shorty's write rhymes just to blow up?
|
Get they first car and then IRS show up
|
He ain't never had shit but he had that nine
|
Nigga come through flickin' and he had that shine
|
Put two and two together in a little bad weather
|
Gon' be a whole family on that funeral line
|
Ask the reverand was the strip club cool if my tips help send a pretty girl through school
|
That's all I want like wino's want they good whisky
|
I ain't in the Klan, but I brought my hood with me
|
|
[chorus]
|
|
[Nas:]
|
I heard the beat and I ain't know what to write
|
First line, should it be about the hos or the ice?
|
Four-four's or black christ? Both flows would be nice
|
Rap about big paper or the black man's plight
|
At the studio consol asked my man to the right
|
What this verse sound like, should I freestyle or write?
|
He said, Nas, what the fans want is Illmatic, Stillmatic
|
Picked up the pad and pencil and jotted what I feel
|
Been like 12 years since a nigga first signed
|
Now I'm a free agent
|
And I'm thinking it's time
|
To build my very own Motown
|
Cuz rappers be deprived of executive 9 to 5s
|
And it hurts to see these companies be stealing the life
|
And I love to give my blood sweat and tears to the mic
|
So y'all copped the LPs and y'all fiends got dealt
|
I'm Jesse Jackson on the balcony where King got killed
|
I survived the livest niggas around
|
Lasting longer than more than half of you clowns
|
Look, I used to cook before I had the game took
|
Either way my change came like Sam Cooke.
|
|
Feeling better than I ever felt before today
|
Like better late than never is orientation
|
Still we can make it better throwing all your cares away
|
|
