High

[Intro: Nas] The wild Gremlins Y'all know the ep., right? [Verse 1] It's when the winner lose, and the losers win Nobody scores, a few good men, but everybody sins A lot of young die, fall in the trap Strung high, try to go legal but the hood callin' you back It's good to be back 'cause I miss it — for example Watchin' baseheads wildin' on my first sample I elevated up since snakes in my circumference Now I hit my niggas with cakes and say, "Pump this" Thank God for cracks, corners and marijuana Hood rats and good gats to carry on ya I got dead friends, misled friends, crackhead friends Wild Gremlins who 'bust led' friends Silent weapons for quiet wars, or loud gats You tussle too long, somethin' shiny moves the crowd back It's powerful, niggas would die over respect And money's secondary to that whole aspect Hear me? [Hook: Nas] I love it when I'm... hiiigh I'm at my best when I'm... hiiigh Yo, I like my sex when I'm... hiiigh Cash checks, blast TEC's When I ride through ya projects and clap at sets A nigga... hiiigh North, South, East, West riders get... hiiigh I take y'all niggas on a lyrical... hiiigh I twist it up, listen up to the real shit Feel this realness! [Verse 2] Niggas rushin' to the top, not knowin' what it takes to be King of the industry, the wise move patiently Ya niggas hatin' me, won't be happy 'til I'm back witcha Sellin' crack witcha, half & half on a pack witcha My pen and pad paint a black picture Of young goons passin' liquor, after-hour stores mass of niggas Street corner comvos, staggerin' winos Tahoe's comin' through, blastin' songs I know Niggas scheme, most girls pregnant by sixteen Cliques out to get rich, empty clips for C.R.E.A.M.  Same funeral home for different stiff bodies Once a month, a new family goes there, it don't surprise me Cried 'til the tears dried up inside me Revenge to the end's laws in NYC Got up, by the way I used to be apartment five deep Where dope fiends in the hall try your knob when you sleep Surveillance cameras in my house now watch when you creep Spot you from deep, guns for all possible beef Niggas try to rock you to sleep Kidnap your whole fam for a week Askin' for ransom, niggas starvin', dyin' to eat [Hook: Nas] I love it when I'm... hiiigh I'm at my best when I'm... hiiigh Yo, I like my sex when I'm... hiiigh Cash checks, blast TEC's When I ride through ya projects and clap at sets A nigga... hiiigh North, South, East, West riders get... hiiigh I take y'all niggas on a lyrical... hiiigh I twist it up, listen up to the real shit Feel this realness!
