Nasir, come on let´s go! Get in the car now, let´s go! Throw it out, let´s go!
|
|
[Nas]
|
Aight, aight, aight, yeah. But I got ´em. But I got ´em, though.
|
|
[Kelis]
|
This is crazy, why didn´t you just throw it out of the car?
|
This is so stupid, what are you doing? Why are we even out here?
|
Why are we out here? What´s going on? This is retarded, yo we gotta..
|
This is crazy. Never again. You´d throw everything away, for what?
|
|
[Nas: laughs]
|
Yeah, my man Kool G Rap told me son do not look back
|
Chill up in the mansion with a fat glutious max, relax
|
When people act schoolin´ with facts, tell ´em
|
At this point in my life I´m all about chillin´
|
Ridin´ around in something sick and the dress flies
|
And twist, homie´s hermano just died I gotta let it ride
|
That´s what I got the public thinkin´ my nigga
|
Just cause I ain´t in the hood don´t mean shit my nigga
|
I know who died before the body dropped
|
I know the guns that were used how much money the shooter got
|
Cause on the private yacht I´m still within earshot of it all
|
The top ten list of the most grimiest guys of all time
|
Is all we talk when we talk of New York y´all
|
Who to call and who to stay away from
|
Whose mother´s address to have just to play it safe son
|
Women they lust up so quick to give ´em up
|
What cars and what trucks they drive in what towns
|
They spend the most time in when they grindin´
|
I found out most of them are cowards they hidin´
|
Behind reputations that´s sour
|
Not going back
|
|
[Kelis]
|
The streets keep tryin´ to say
|
Come back around this way
|
I´ve already gone that way
|
I won´t go back today
|
|

First thing that happen when you make a little paper
|
You think the Marriot is livin´ in a skyscraper
|
Til´ you come across some ever more flyer paper
|
Realize that five-star ´tellies are even greater
|
Terry-cloth robes, elegance, movie shit
|
Heated-up marble floors with jacuzzis in it
|
First-class flights, diamonds in your crucifixes
|
All those things you still ain´t really doin´ shit kid
|
Cause in reality I´ll earn my salary
|
The way I flaunted it then would now embarrass me
|
It kinda make me wanna hate bling it´s a race thing
|
How they sell blacks to bootleg shit infact
|
Real millionaires spend 60 mil on paintings
|
Whores charge niggaz with raping
|
Cause we come out doors of Maybach cars
|
Watch us make bets on race tracks smokin´ cigars
|
So they counter the laws to take what´s ours
|
Bout 500K on a lawyer to beat the charge
|
So you can´t stop us from making a billion dollars
|
Instead of goin´ back I´m buying the projects
|
But I´m not going back
|
The hood´s in me forever y´all
|
But I´m not going back
|
|

|
Those no friends of mine..

|
Ten carat gold it shine..
|

|
Sony if they don´t have dough to sign..
|
(Not going back to)
|
Y´all know that I´m not going back to
|
Those liars who would..
|
(Not going back to)
|
Not help you if they could..
|
(Not going back to)
|
Coke on the stove in the hood..
|
Y´all should know that I´m not going back
|
The hood´s in me forever y´all
|
But I´m not going back
