Lyrics
[Verse 1: Nas] Yo... Explode, my thoughts were drunken from quarts of beers Was years back, before Nasir would explore a career in rap As a music dude, I mastered this Rubik's Cube Godzilla fought Gargantua, eyes glued to the tube Was a long time ago, John Boy, Ice Geronimo po-lice jumpin' out Chryslers, EZ Wire that paper Pops puffin' his cess, punchin' his chest like a gorilla Outside was psychos, killers Saw Divine, Goon, and Chungo, Lil' Turkey R.I.P. Tyrone, 'member no cursin' front of Ms. Vercey Big Percy, Crazy Paul, the Sledge Sisters My building was 40-16, once in the blue, hallways was clean I knew–all that I'd seen had meant somethin' Learned early to fear none, little Nas was huntin' Living carefree, laughin', got jokes on the daily Y'all actin' like some old folks, y'all don't hear me Yo, I'm in my second childhood [Chorus: scratches by DJ Premier] "When I flow for the street" "Who else could it be?" "N-A-S, Nas...." "Resurrect through the birth of my seed" "Queensbridge" "Make everything right" "Get yours... get yours..." "When I flow for the street" "Who else could it be?" "N-A-S, Nas...." "Resurrect through the birth of my seed" "Queensbridge" "Make everything right" "Get yours... get yours..." [Verse 2: Nas] Yo, dude is 31, livin' in his mom's crib Ex-convict, was paroled there after his long bid Cornrows in his hair, still slingin', got a crew They break his mom's furniture, watchin' ComicView Got babies by different ladies, high, smokin' L's In the same spot he stood since '85, well – When his stash slow, he be crazy Saved by his moms, hit her on her payday Junior high school dropout, teachers never cared They was paid just to show up and leave, no one succeeds So he moves with his peers – different blocks, different years Sittin' on different benches like it's Musical Chairs All his peoples moved on in life, he's on the corners at night With young dudes, it's them he wanna be like It's sad, but it's fun to him, right? He never grew up 31 and can't give his youth up, he's in his second childhood [Chorus: scratches by DJ Premier] "When I flow for the street" "Who else could it be?" "N-A-S, Nas...." "Resurrect through the birth of my seed" "Queensbridge" "Make everything right" "Get yours... get yours..." "When I flow for the street" "Who else could it be?" "N-A-S, Nas...." "Resurrect through the birth of my seed" "Queensbridge" "Make everything right" "Get yours... get yours..." [Verse 3: Nas] Baby girl, she's always talkin', name droppin', hangin' late Drinkin', smokin', hates her baby daddy, craves shoppin' E poppin', ecstasy takin', won't finish her education Best friends she keeps changin', stuck with limitation Lustin' men, many hotels, Fendi, Chanel With nothing in her bank account, frontin' she do well Her kid suffers, he don't get that love he deserve He the Sun, she the Earth, single mom, even worse No job, never stay working, mad purty Shorty, they call her the brain surgeon Time flying, she the same person Never matures, all her friends married, doing well She's in the streets, yakkety-yakkin' like she was twelve Honey is 27, argues, fights Selfish in her own right, for life Guess she's in her second childhood [Chorus: scratches by DJ Premier] "When I flow for the street" "Who else could it be?" "N-A-S, Nas...." "Resurrect through the birth of my seed" "Queensbridge" "Make everything right" "Get yours... get yours..." "When I flow for the street" "Who else could it be?" "N-A-S, Nas...." "Resurrect through the birth of my seed" "Queensbridge" "Make everything right" "Get yours... get yours..." [Outro: Khrysis] Yo, wutup y'all, it's Young Khrysis I wanna give a shout to my mans The Thyrday and Sean Boog And you are listening to the man who owns two microwaves 9th Wonder - 9th Invented The Remix Peace...
