Yo |
| [00:10.86] |
Explode, my thoughts were drunken from quarts of beers |
| [00:13.73] |
Was years back, before Nasir would explore a career in rap |
| [00:16.89] |
As a music dude, I mastered this Rubik's Cube |
| [00:19.40] |
Godzilla, fought Gargantua, eyes glued to the tube |
| [00:22.51] |
Was a, long time ago, John Boy Ice |
| [00:25.22] |
Geronimo po-lice jumping out Chryslers, easywider paper |
| [00:28.65] |
Pops puffin his sess, punching his chest like a gorilla |
| [00:32.00] |
Outside was psychoes, killers |
| [00:33.99] |
Saw Divine, Goon and Chungo, Lil' Turkey |
| [00:36.60] |
R.I.P. Tyrone, 'member no cursing front of Ms. Vercey |
| [00:39.66] |
Big Percy, Crazy Paul, the Sledge Sisters |
| [00:41.93] |
My building was 40-16, once in the blue, hallways was clean |
| [00:45.48] |
I knew, all that I'd seen had meant something |
| [00:47.73] |
Learned early, to fear none little Nas was hunting |
| [00:50.89] |
Living carefree laughing, got jokes on the daily |
| [00:53.78] |
Y'all acting like some old folks y'all don't hear me |
| [00:56.08] |
Yo I'm in my second childhood |
| [00:57.66] |
"Cause when I flow the for the street" |
| [00:58.71] |
"Who else could it be?" - "N-A-S, Nas" |
| [01:02.50] |
"Resurrect, through the birth of my seed" |
| [01:04.53] |
"Queensbridge, Make everything right" |
| [01:07.38] |
"Get yours.." |
| [01:09.04] |
"Cause when I flow the for the street" |
| [01:10.21] |
"Who else could it be?" - "N-A-S, Nas" |
| [01:13.82] |
"Resurrect, through the birth of my seed" |
| [01:15.95] |
"Queensbridge, Make everything right" |
| [01:18.70] |
Yo, "Get yours.." |
| [01:19.53] |

Ex-convict, was paroled there after his long bid |
| [01:25.82] |
Cornrows in his hair, still slinging, got a crew |

They was paid just to show up and leave, no one succeeds |
| [01:48.31] |
So he moves with his peers, different blocks, different years |
| [01:51.08] |
Sitting on, different benches like it's musical chairs |
| [01:53.83] |
All his peoples moved on in life, he's on the corners at night |
| [01:57.22] |
With young dudes it's them he want to be like |
| [01:59.45] |
It's sad but it's fun to him right? He never grew up |
| [02:02.70] |
