Is it me or any time Nas ask a question in the 2nd verse of a song you end up with shyt like this
To rob steal or kill, I'm wondering why
It's a dirty game, is any man worthy of fame?
What's lust, a bust nut? What's a thug?
A ghetto child raised around drugs, till he's old enough to bust slugs?
Then what's jail, to rehabilitate or to make a nikka worse
When he come home to catch another case?
It’s still a lot of way to manage the life expectancy average
The future of our next generation ain’t been established
Conflicted by some of the same patterns that had us
Money and social status, tell me what really matters
So who are you when they turn off all the cameras?
With me, you know the answers
