I carry the cross, if Virgin Mary had an abortion |
| [00:20.90] |
I'd still be carried in the chariot by stampeding horses |
| [00:23.93] |
Had to bring it back to New York |
| [00:25.58] |
I'm happy that the streets is back in New York |
| [00:27.77] |
For you rappers, I carry the cross |
| [00:28.98] |

For you rappers, I carry the cross |
| [00:40.67] |
|
| [00:41.61] |
Y'all can keep y'all weak beats, from your corny producers |
| [00:44.21] |
There's a new king of the streets, you're gonna get used to |
| [00:47.20] |
I was the old king of the streets, that y'all once hated |
| [00:50.19] |
But now I reinvented myself, and y'all all waited |
| [00:53.07] |
NAS, N.A.S. mean Niggaz Against Society |
| [00:56.23] |
Noisy I aim not silently, noose all surroundin me |
| [00:58.99] |
I hang 'em I string 'em up ain't no thing I just drop 'em |
| [01:01.98] |
to which doctor you copped and you locked and it ain't what it was |
| [01:04.28] |
I changed it up from that pop shit it's hard to see R&B |
| [01:07.66] |
rappers arguably, started fuckin up the game horribly |
| [01:10.86] |
Cause, I parted the sea, then these novices targetted me |
| [01:14.05] |
Bitches infatuated say they love me lyin to me |
| [01:17.03] |
What I've discovered is my brother's tryin to be |
| [01:19.65] |
the next me, yeah I support him but he's blinded I see |
| [01:22.49] |
jealousy he love me to death am I buggin I love him for life |
| [01:26.31] |
We both still mournin on our mother's, life |
| [01:28.45] |
And I don't need much but a Dutch, a bitch to fuck |
| [01:31.42] |
A six, a truck, some guns to bust |
| [01:33.56] |
I wish it was that simple, the last emperor, hit yo' ass |
| [01:36.34] |
with the Nasty Nas, diary, get out my path |
| [01:39.07] |

| [02:02.47] |
|
| [02:03.70] |
I can't keep a bitch cause none of them come up for a little less |
| [02:06.27] |
I can't be too rich, too many hoes, lined up for sex |
| [02:09.01] |
I can't rest until my niggaz in houses with pretty maids |
| [02:11.83] |
Water and flowers in 'em |
| [02:13.64] |
While my niggaz walk around in they trousers grinnin |
| [02:15.96] |
Gotta keep a lot of heat; 30 cals 10 millimeters |
| [02:19.27] |
40 cals plus the heckler, to set y'all straight |
| [02:22.00] |
You too light? I shoot your freckles out |
| [02:24.02] |
You too dark? The infrared show you what the tec about |
| [02:26.87] |
Huh? I'm stressin out, need more offices for bosses |
| [02:29.50] |
Secretaries and meetings with big sharks, who mad greedy |
| [02:32.63] |
We can sell mo', boats on the coast |
| [02:34.72] |
Give, coats to the po' and give, hope to the broke then live low |
| [02:38.13] |
But that ain't reality, I look happy but under the sky |
| [02:41.19] |
You see a nigga who know, out of three women 2 out of 3 |
| [02:44.32] |
will love you but lead you to they own, hidden evil |
| [02:47.24] |
BITCH! You the reason niggaz be beefin, hoe get on |
| [02:50.30] |
'Posed to be Earth, ain't worth the pussy that you sit on |
| [02:52.86] |
From here on, it's a new day |
| [02:54.84] |
Million dollars ain't, what it was yesterday |
| [02:57.49] |
Many problems, many niggaz, most involved but they fake |
| [02:59.58] |
Hope y'all relate |
| [03:01.33] |
|
| [03:02.00] |
