[Verse 1]
|
Yeah, Harlem, Bronx, Brooklyn
|
Let¡¯s make a bet
|
I know the reason you ain¡¯t make it yet
|
You say you set but you ain¡¯t see the tedious ingredients
|
That go inside of a rider, you hiding from problems and
|
You never knew how to make dollars
|
You couldn¡¯t make orders at a drive-through McDonald¡¯s
|
I was fly at the Apollo with black Jason, 89 with a bottle
|
Niggas jealous of Jason
|
Dark green seven forty, no tint
|
Rollie on wrist, gleaming he rock the baldy
|
Used to ride with him to Brooklyn, Louis, and Hallsey
|
Cop chocolate thai, Vernon style and burn it down
|
My nigga hype in the federal joint, verdict out
|
Twenty years getting money in the Dirty South
|
That¡¯s alleged, you see my nigga¡¯s a stand up dude
|
So I¡¯m yelling free my nigga
|
My nephew godfather Malik, he jammed up too
|
For what his hands usually call for but he ain¡¯t do it
|
|
[Hook: Victoria Monet]
|
Who you are ain¡¯t in the recipe to what I am
|
Cause where I¡¯m from, man
|
What I see you wouldn¡¯t understand
|
Where I been and what I do
|
No matter how you try you never can
|
Cause where I¡¯m from
|
What I see you wouldn¡¯t understand
|
Where I been, where I been
|
|
[Verse 2]
|
You ever been on the other end of a robber¡¯s revolver
|
Not me, call me Lucky Nas Casalana
|
Or been shot in the medulla oblongata and survived
|
And praise God with a bullet I never collided
|
Some did and they lived
|
I salute the gods
|
Moet spilling, splashed by mistake on my Timb boots for y¡¯all
|
N.Y. nigga, Adidas, jogging suit
|
Shelltoes, slim, fly nigga
|
Hudson River, rent a boat, t-shirt with a dinner coat
|
And vintage Fila like I¡¯m the ghost of Domencio
|
On any day getting throwed in a tinted vehicle
|
Like a old BK gangsta, but I¡¯m the CEO
|
Of Nasty Nas Enterprises, mastermind, made men
|
My success symbolizes loyalty, great friends
|
Dedication, hard work, routine builds character
|
In a world full of snakes, rats and scavengers
|
Never make choices out of desperation, I think through it
|
Break through walls like Pink Floyd
|
And drink fluids of all kind of alcohol y¡¯all
|
Vineyards in France, yachts out in Cannes
|
|
[Hook]
|
|
[Verse 3]
|
Now holla at a millionaire
|
Rollie, Hublot and Audemar, deciding which one to wear
|
Who to screw, what to drive
|
550 with the cream guts inside
|
Or the Super Sport Range truck is fly
|
Diamond ring on my knuckles like fire, bitch
|
Gat¡¯s on us, I don¡¯t really trust these guys
|
Spend a couple bucks a night on bottles on cuties
|
If she beautiful, the lustful type
|
I¡¯ll hit it and bust inside
|
Fuck it, I¡¯mma die one day
|
They gon¡¯ probably make that day a holiday
|
Until then, let¡¯s go on a shopping spree
|
Speaking for my real niggas, only OGs
|
Certified who kill niggas when put in that seat
|
But tonight we on chill nigga, chill mode
|
Spill more Spades, listen to Jeezy and Hov, some Rozay
|
It¡¯s like we always on the grind with no brakes
|
So tonight we gon¡¯ act like we on vacation with this on rotation
|
|
[Hook]
|
|
[Outro]
|
True B nigga, yeah
|
For my hood niggas, yeah, yeah
|
To my man Eric B what up, yeah
|
The whole city, I see you
|
To my man Big Slate in the fed joint
|
My man Spunk, free my niggas
|
All my niggas, yeah
|
Club Vernon, I see you
|
I see you, yeah
|
And Baltum, I see you
|
