featuring Noreaga

Nas talking:

Yo Nore I just can't understand

what be going through brothers minds man

Know what I'm saying!

You try to tell a brother when he going the wrong way

try to put him on the right way

he don't wanna hear that though

so you just gotta let a nigga go

(Nas)

Death followed'em

before it swallowed'em whole

it was signs he shoulda read

that was inside of his soul

niggas light dutchies to'em now, so long

missa muthafucka, but still

life goes on

hope I'm rich on my last day

clutching some ass,

niggas say he came and went

got a nut when he passed, an old man

laying dead on my bed, wit some young shit

screaming out FREEDOM

when I slung to her chest

after that chill, be a bitch wit a hex

every nigga she sex, be the next

put ta rest

(Noreaga)

Yo if you live, you a member in 85

when it was just bats and knives,

made men and made wives

things changed, sell the Jetta, cop the Range

sending slugs that a leave that ass cripple

as a child had nemia wit out the sickle

N-O-R-E, nore, grand markey

always wanted to be in this game since Biz Markie

we fuck it up what

light dro, throw the chalk up

ever since crack came in little capsules

we control blocks, rock flat-tops

had two spots, selling blue tops

seeing Benni cop new rocks

(Nas)

Four wheel flow wit the rowdy thugs

Queens out,smoke Cali budd

feened out, my thoughts leak out

I speak out, what's worth dying for

freedom,respect or both

what's worth ya tears
