[HNIC973]

Came from the streets we the voice of the youth
America's nightmare was given a mic booth
Nike boots, leathers and jean, jewelry, cribs and cars
Rappers not dependin' on your nine to five jobs
Entertainment, this is our world, this is our language
Different regions speakin' east and west gang shyt
You got your positive shyt like, Common Sense
But even he had drama with the Don Mega Cube
Acknowledge the words get twisted at times it's rules
What you think is different from the block whenever we feud
fukk your pictures and your plaques, your tours and autographs
Don't trust bytches and nikkas who tell you your all of that
'Cause, they'll be in your enemies face, sayin' it's safe
To run in your release party sprayin' the place
Or catch you when you least on point, puttin' your keys in the door
Behind you with your seeds in KB Toys store
Maybe the words get disrespectful now your nikkas check you
"You 'gon let that nikka play you, you know we 'gon rep you"
Next mornin' every news channel and front page
Headlines another rapper was slayed, this is Star Wars

Catalog is insane

Imagine if star wars was on Stillmatic

Imagine if star wars was on Stillmatic

that's what I'm saying you could take 2 classic albums like LT1 & Stillmatic make them even more absurd. Songs like The Rise & Fall Amongst Kings on LT1. No Ideas Original Star Wars on Stillmatic . Nobody has a catalog like this dude I'm sorry he has gems all over the place

 

[kes929]

back in QB 30-year anniversary of Illmatic we are getting something

Nas and Premo in cook mode. It’s only right for 30 years of illmatic.

You are correct. Nobody comes close. Real ones know.

 

[HNIC973]

Feelin' like I got the dons clout
Trigger pawn cocked Glocks spray up your moms spot
I ain't playin' wit you, war, fukk pistols
Bring machines, icy bell buckles, ten guns, M-1'S with ice muzzles
Life's a struggle, get your wifey touch too, everybody involved
Homicide, doctors patchin' up your war scars
Task Force chargin' at us, news flash, thug crews blast at officers
Coroners pick you up from the grass
Livin' fast 'til somebody tries meltin' my chest
I'm high loosin' it, could of hit my own self with the tec
Refuse to quit, but I tried tellin' me to relax
It's like I can't hear my words 'til I'm trapped to the max
Even then I blame everybody else except me, pops left me
I was just three, I cried for help, moms was busy
That don't mean nikka's stupid
But I got a habit wit - makin' up excuses
Was born ruthless, hated school, they ain't teach me I'm a bad seed
Planted in this ghetto, where my nikkas can't read
Multiply, subtract; only knowin' how to count cracks and count stacks
Now what y'all know about that
One side of me wanted out of this life
Glue traps on the floor for the mice
'Til the nikka saw the light
I wanted money when I got it, I would spend it
I wanted jewels, but when I heard it, yo I wouldn't listen
All of the drama in my life I got my self into
All the toxins my body took in, faded my mental
I let these nikkas words get to me
But I'm tired of my ice, tired of Bentley
It's the end of the century
I recognized the world is a beautiful place
nikkas opinions ruinin' my musical taste
Cause everytime I caught a case, could of got me in jail
If you wasn't scared of jail, you more likely to fail
I thought the whole world was cursed, from the hand I was dealt
And +My Worst Enemy+ was my self
Word to my self...word to my self...word to my self...


[Hook: Nas]
I was blind to the world
All I thought about was diamonds and pearls
I had beef wit a nikka, then I'm clappin' his girl
Nappin' his kids, ransack, run through his rib
Blow up his mom's crib, there's no way he could live
It's gettin' clearer, starin' at the man in the mirror
Cause all this time, it was a fragment in my mind
Come to find out, shyt wasn't what is made to be
In reality +My Worst Enemy+ was me

Stop playing with dude shyt for days

I know he loves his hood but yeah…hurry up and take the pic and roll champ . Nas is loved, he is royalty in Queens in general so in QB it’s a whole other level…but it just takes 1 hating ass d-head to do something crazy just purely out of hate. QB ain’t what it was but it’s still the hood, a hater is always close… keep it pushin after 10 mins or sumn lol

Best believe when nas goes to qb he's with hood cats to ensure nothing happens

 

[Prolific_1011]

"Humble Origins" would be a dope album title lol

 

[HNIC973]

 

[Stick Up Kid]

Maybe a video for one of his old classics. There's only 4 songs from Illmatic without visuals NYSOM, OT4YM, Memory Lane, & Life's a bytch. That's the most logical guess who knows Nas could be just chillin in QB

I coulda swore this nikka said he was tired of celeberating Illmatic... hopefully they dont do anything

 

[H.S.]

That Starwars beat is hands down my favorite from Large Pro.

 

[Pop123]

This energy was so fire,

 

[Piff Perkins]

Love this. One thing that always irks me is how we know everything about how Illmatic was made, but you rarely hear producers talking about other shyt. I wanna know Premo's thoughts on making NYSOM2, Large Pro talking about Star Wars, etc.

 

[Danie84]

It's dope going through Nas 30yrs discography, and hearing how his perspectives never deviated. Last week I went from I AM, KD3, Nastradamus ,to Gods'Son, Lost Tape 2, and Magic
