Hero |
Chain gleaming |
Switching lanes |
Two-seating |
Hate him or love him |
For the same reason |
Can’t leave it The games needs him |
Plus the people need someone to believe in So in God’s Son we trust |
'Cause they know I’m gonna give 'em what they want |
They looking for… a hero |
I guess that makes me… a hero |
Another chapter of the cleanest rapper |
Distinguished gentlemen |
Crooks and castle on his back |
Maybach-er, exotic lady eye-catcher |
Holla at’cha, call me the chiropractor |
Working like Muay Thai class |
Get perspire out ya And of course I’ve been the boss since back when |
Rocking D Boy, Fila, velour in 190 black Benz |
Now they shut down the stores when I’m shopping |
Used to be train robbing, face covered in stocking |
I’m him |
Rubber-grip-holder, reloader |
Come at me I’ma rip your soliders in half |
Silverback ape, nickle-plated mag |
Young, rich, and flashy |
Young, b! |
tch, I’m nasty |
All black clothes til ice lay on me so classy |
And every time I close my lids |
I can still see the borough, I can still see the Bridge |
I can still see the dreams that my niqqas ain’t never lived to see |
Tell them angels open the door for me From nine berettas and moving raw |
To chilling in wine cellars |
Sticks and humidors |
That’s what I call mature |
That’s what I call a g That’s what I call a pimp |
That’s what I call a gangsta |
To the fullest, sh! |
t I try to make more cream |
By every September 14th, that’s my dream |
So I can be more clean, as I grow yearly |
I can see things more clearly |
That’s why they fear me This universal apartheid |
I’m hog-tied, the corporate side |
Blocking y’all from going to stores and buying it First L.A. and Doug Morris was riding wit it But Newsweek article startled big wigs |
They said, Nas, why is he trying it? |
My lawyers only see the Billboard charts as winning |
Forgetting — Nas the only true rebel since the beginning |
Still in musical prison, in jail for the flow |
Try telling Bob Dylan, Bruce, or Billy Joel |
They can’t sing what’s in their soul |
So untitled it is |
I never change nothin' |
But people remember this |
If Nas can’t say it, think about these talented kids |
With new ideas being told what they can and can’t spit |
I can’t sit and watch it So, sh! |
t, I’ma drop it Like it or not |
You ain’t gotta cop it |
I’m a hustler in the studio |
Cups of Don Julio |
No matter what the CD called |
I’m unbeatable, y’all |
