    WTF SMH
    My jewelry is disgusting but let’s discuss the taste I’m in another place
    This whole sh*t is in shambles
    Low vibrational levels
    Riders never get canceled, never
    WTF SMH
    This ain’t that H&M
    This that scully over your face
    Real life nightmares
    Enemies cuttin’ your breaks
    These suckers lower than snakes so watch where you valet
    Demonic motherf*ckers, what you do come back God bless the trap, but I wanna see you untrapped Plottin’ on another man and his possessions is wack One on one with your opp, all they see is two dumb blacks WTF SMH OMG
    How could you put these pu**y a** rappers over me? When all they do is cap
    All they do is LIE
    I’m LMFAO
    Esco heavy in the streets
    Fresh back off tour
    The mic still smokin’ I ain’t once go hoarse
    I never take a day off from this fly shit that I’m on Come on
    Please get your lady off’a my horn
    She told me she astral plane now
    She explain how
    Her spirit leave her body every time we hang out She said she got her main now
    She got a king now
    It’s a phase now
    Cuz she still gonna come and put that thang down, whoa
    WTF SMH
    My jewelry is disgusting but let’s discuss the taste I’m in another place
    This whole sh*t is in shambles
    Low vibrational levels
    Riders never get canceled, never
    We manifest destiny like a knight
    A knight in shining armor, yeah
    Tryin’ be there for our kids
    No matter how hard that is
    Everybody’s so quick to flip
    Or say they with the sh*ts
    They go against someone look just like them But when the enemy
    Has government powers
    They become cowards
    They cut the tough guy sh*t
    When they arrest, when they come cuff your kids They give us criminal records, because of where we live And the money is low, and narcotics are thriving It’s evil, we diagnosed with something that’s untreatable Feel powerless so brothers only have beef with you
    So you on your murder sh*t cuz that’s what you see them do Well let me tell you somethin’
    Many go on GBG
    Get Back Gang
    Who gon’ rest in peace?
    In this land twenty three million layers
    All we have is some givers and some takers
    Have some good souls and bad souls
    Some humble people, some a**holes
    Slow like watchin’ the grass grow
    The crosswalk lady walkin’ with the kids to school There’s a place in heaven for her, as is you
    And if you don’t believe in that, then SLATT
    Go where you going, be where you at, no hugs, speakin’ or dap I wish that we could adapt (my brother)
    Pro-Black with a machete, pinky ring, a hog in the back This is not a rap song why you callin’ it that?
    This is a audiobook, I’m an author on tracks
    I opened so many doors
    My launchpad was Main Source
    You couldn’t interpret the lesson, we took the same course I grabbed everything and the sh*t that I came for As soon as the DJ played Big Daddy Kane “Raw” Bold, beautiful, dangerous
    And I blocked out the hate that was aimed at us I’m free as I ever been
    I might hop on a jet to Japan
    Just to eat sushi if customs let me in (Don’t they always) WTF SMH I’m on GO
    Twenty twenty-three just might open a casino
    Community love, providing jobs
    Why would you try to come for me, why you ain’t proud of Nas? Akinyele took me in the building first
    Peace to MC Serch, how much the catalog worth? I made it so many can have a piece of what I earn Push it to the max, now it’s maximum returns
    Bold, beautiful, dangerous
    And I blocked out the hate that was aimed at us Community love, providing jobs
    Why would you try to come for me, why you ain’t proud of Nas?

    Legit had this song on repeat all day since I first heard it. I think this is the best song on the album. Nas went hard on the first part of the track, but when the beat changed and his lyrics get deep…. Is just INSANE. Nas is the greatest rapper of all time and has been able to stay true to himself, his BLACKNESS, his gangster roots, the changing “culture”, and most of all Hip Hop.

    Love the conscious flows by Nas. What sets him apart and has given him longevity, is that he stuck to one of the pillars of great HipHop. That's telling the cautionary tales of the hood, versus going all the way in on the demise of our community. This is what black culture needs right now 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯
