I hadn't listened to this joint in a grip.
If you knew my streets
You would know all everybody talk about is who got beef
Who's snitchin', who told police
Who came home, who's still gone, who rest in peace
Now they killin' over music money, not drugs, rap replaced it
Cause thugs with no brains got no patience
New jacks I pistol whip 'em with the funky rhythm I be kickin'
Musician, inflictin' composition of pain
I'm like Saddam Hussein
Still alive lookin' at his dead children's burnt remains
I birthed the game, learnt you lames a new lesson
Your crew's soft man, ya'll need some new weapons
The P's breed warriors in skullies and timmies
Around micks, spics, nikkas, and guineas
For my ghetto kings in deep thought we don't blink
But don't think we wastin our time
It's a New York state of mind
yet Ra comes equally as ill
I'm from the home of a million legends and trend settin'
A lot of footsteps to follow, I been steppin'
Mind stressin' tryna find direction, crime spreadin'
Time precious, I ain't have rest since 9/11
I live fast, hustle like today is my last
I get cash, the struggle's like a day on the Ave
Crack, D and raw, gats squeezin off
Manhattan streets in awe from casualties of war
The eve of the Apocalypse, evil people in politics
Every block is at risk, the metropolitan metropolis
The opposite of Liza Minnelli and Frank Sinatra
Alicia Keys, Nas and Ra the gangsta's opera
So New York City walk with me, talk gritty
It's up to us New York it's our city
Here the man come with the anthem, hands up
It's time, the thrill is back New York, let's stand up
Nas the GOAT but The Gawd Ra got em on this
Is it me or does it seems like there are more Nas joints on this in "The Get Down" series and what appears on the sound track. I wish all them shyts would come out. Would've been dope if he would've came out with a solo EP or soundtrack that includes his work from the movie... Like Jay z weak as did around the time the American Gangster movie was out.
