Nas - No Introduction (Album Version (Explicit))(2012)

[00:04.06] P.S. 111 at free lunch, embarrassed but managed to get a plate
[00:08.94]
[00:36.82] We was kids hungry, Mom's working I was famished, she getting home late
[00:42.65] So I decided now I'm in charge
[00:44.85] Either stay full or starve, corner store like Mr. Spare-a-Quarter
[00:47.58] Before Air Jordans, Kareem Abdul-Jabbars
[00:49.37] Trying to cop quarters and trying to move that hard
[00:53.26] Roll with a shooting squad
[00:54.87] How could I not succumb?
[00:56.36] How could I not partake?
[00:57.52] 15 I got a gun, 16 I robbed a train
[01:00.11] Licked off a shot for fun, what's got inside my brain?
[01:02.65] A hustler's job ain't done, 'til he becomes a king
[01:05.44] But I'm a righteous son, despite I'm in the mist of
[01:08.08] Dudes who switch up and change
[01:09.55] They want to carry me like I'm some kind of lame
[01:12.29] I never let them know, I just forgive them though
[01:14.82] Either that or the pistol blow
[01:34.68] I remember early mornings - syrup sandwiches, sugar water, yeah
[01:37.34]
[01:42.73] Walking up the dark stairwells, elevators was out of order, yeah
[01:47.88] Worth 200 million now, bicentennial nigga, flat screens and condominiums
[01:52.35] Brazilian women on Xannies they pulling off panties
[01:55.03] I'm pushing 40, she only 21
[01:57.67] Don't applaud me, I'm exhausted G
[02:00.17] Me and my red cup, my blunt and my red cup
[02:02.55] Y'all wouldn't know me without one, I keep a fresh cut
[02:05.36] Remember talking to Biggie inside his Lex truck
[02:08.26] Said stay fly when you bummy, keep your pajamas Armani
[02:09.86] Hood forever, I just act like I'm civilized
[02:13.26] Really what's in my mind is organizing a billion black motherfuckers
[02:16.32] To take over JP and Morgan Goldman and Sachs
[02:19.69] And teach the world facts and give Saudi they oil back
[02:22.37]
[02:40.63] 1990's Polo Ralph Lauren on him
[02:43.50]
[02:46.75] Gone a few years, the whole world snoring on him
[02:48.94] Girls all up on him, I spread them, hit them and dead them
[02:51.38] She says, "third leg from a legend is sheer heaven"
[02:53.73] She says, "it is the greatest loving"
[02:55.82] The tales you hear is the truth, on me
[02:57.74] Who wasn't the most faithful husband
[03:00.50] Reveal my life, you will forgive me
[03:02.48] You will love me, hate me, judge me, relate to me
[03:05.67] Only a few will, this how it sounds when you too real
[03:08.92] They think it's just music still
[03:10.83] Well I am a graphic classic song composer
[03:13.42] Music notes on sheets, I wrote this piece to get closure
[03:17.01] Some of y'all might know Kelis - this goes to her with love
[03:20.39] Also goes to y'all, let's see
[03:22.51] The craziest things already happened to me
[03:25.03] So either you'll be laughing at me or you're laughing with me, ha
[03:25.52]
