[Verse 1: Nas]
|
I walk the block like whatever god, my message to y'all feds
|
Who desperate to arrest us young, benevolent hardheads
|
Abrochrombie & Finch rockin', wrist glistenin' marksman
|
Hitchcock of Hip-Hop since Big Pop departed
|
The project logic is still salute the dead, glocks spit
|
Pour some juice out for those in Manchester, Viewmount
|
Otisville, Newasberg, Fort Dicks, Fort Worth, Oakdale
|
Every fed jail where all my dawgs lurk
|
War hurts much to gain 'til the day we all say
|
May your pain be champagne then we all blaze away
|
At our enemies, may they die easily
|
Long as they perish forever's what freedom means to me
|
Blowin' greenery, growing eager to see evil things
|
Thrown away, zonin' grey, GT, Diesel jeans
|
Airs and Chucks, solitaires, stones with the rarest cuts
|
On some Pretty Tone shit, haircut looks airbrushed
|
And they're aware of us though
|
And we don't give a flyin' 7-47 fuck though
|
Stayin' on my hus-tle
|

[Verse 2: Nas]
|
A message to those who trapped us up, from federal guys who backed them up
|
We never will die, we black and tough, lead in your eye, we strapped to bust
|
Half of us been locked up inside the beast, look at the time we see
|
Brooklyn to Compton streets, Queens, even the Congo needs dreams
|
Our bullets and triggers our enemies pullin' on innocent women and children
|
It wasn't no ghetto killers who mixed up the coke and put guns in our buildings
|
But I'm not gon' cry, and I'm not gon' stand just watch you die
|
I'ma pass you a.9, I'ma grab your hand -- come on let's ride
|
A message to those who killed the king, who murdered the Christ
|
The same regime, what God has built you never can break
|
What God has loved you never can hate, man makes rules and laws
|
You just a ruthless dog, your kennel is waiting
|
You devils will run back into the caves you came from
|
Whenever that day comes, forty-acres, plantations, see every race won
|
Sincerely yours, Street's Disciple, revelations
|

A Message To The Feds, Sincerely, We The People
