| Intro: Nas
|
| Gimme, just gimme, for the NYC
|
| Gimme what you can’t get back
|
| Gimme, why don’t you gimme the world
|
| Gimme what you can’t get back, for the five burroughs
|
| Verse 1: AZ Yo, it’s hard to show resistance when money-gettin niggas
|
| need my assistance to stock figures, beyond non-existence
|
| Fuck keepin my distance, cos bein poor produced persistence
|
| Plus plea’s, a hundred G’s, I had me blockin out of jail centres
|
| I’m recognised by the illest of individuals
|
| Killers and criminals, even willies that’s really into jewels
|
| But still sceptic on who I cling to Cos every single nigga that swing thru, ain’t my man just cos we mingle
|
| To mistake shit, even females be feedin off that fake shit
|
| Filled with envy and hatred but my high hopes help me escape it Temporarily the window world, don’t read the wise
|
| Verbally nourish me, properly with that inner city, urban GC
|
| I fucked with those beyond my age bracket
|
| cos they analyse and mack to get the papers and stack it Leavin no trace to track it, keep on thinkin tappers is accurate
|
| That mack shit, livin the lifestyle, we filled with black wit
|
| Chorus: Nas, (AZ)
|
| Just gimme (Pimp lines and dollar signs)
|
| Just gimme (Rollin trees, stackin G’s)
|
| Gimme what you can’t get back (True dat, I thought you knew that)
|
| Just gimme (Money getters, the high bidders)
|
| Why don’t you gimme the world (rollin wit us)
|
| Gimme what you can’t get back, for the five burroughs
|
| Verse 2: AZ So in God I trust, I lust for a 850-deluxe
|
| And in too, I touch a million-plus, ain’t much to discuss
|
| Diamonds and double-digits, Gianni Versace down with lizards
|
| It’s realism so I visualisin to live it Movin cleverly wit intentions of longevity
|
| Strong pedigree got me touchin papers, others would never see, G So do the crest in my claw, flourescents
|
| symbolises the essence, you’re sailin in a sweppervescence
|
| Drug investments, a street thug’s plug, the insurance, but informers
|
| they had you wanted for warrants 'fore you get enourmous
|
| Life’s a performance so players play wit endurance
|
| cos from war sense, any villain’s willing to get more intense
|
| They tried to break us but all it did was just make us travel across acres for papers, bonafide money takers
|
| Cos though we know somehow we all gotta go As long as we’re leavin thievin, we’ll be leavin wit some kind of doe,
|
| so…
|
| Chorus: Nas, (AZ)
|
| Just gimme (Pimp lines and dollar signs)
|
| Just gimme (Rollin trees, stackin G’s)
|
| Gimme what you can’t get back (True dat, I thought you knew that)
|
| Just gimme (Money getters, the high bidders)
|
| Why don’t you gimme the world (rollin wit us)
|
| Gimme what you can’t get back (It's real, NYC)
|
| Just gimme (QB)
|
| Just gimme (B-K, VT)
|
| Gimme what you can’t get back (See me, AZ y’all, representin)
|
| Just gimme (Yeah, the street life is trife life)
|
| Why don’t you gimme the world (Representin)
|
| Gimme what you can’t get back (Life's a bitch…) |
