[Intro: Nas]
Uh, word
You don't get this everyday, word
[Verse 1: Nas]
With so much drama in QBC, it's kinda hard bein' Escobaro
El Dorado Red, sippin' Dom out the bottle
My life's like a Donald Goines novel
We wave glasses like bravo
Drunk n***as with mad problems
Shot pockets, n***as on the block rock this
Box cocaine, cook it and chop it
Lookin' to profit in triple ways
Goin' through this difficult stage called life
With each year, my physical's praised
N***as slip beyond the reach of help
Caught in the street, thinkin' they can teach theyself
When all we wanted was a piece of wealth
And randomly feed our family, these streets are insanity
Amber me, caught inside a thugs fantasy
Richest n***a in showbiz is what I plan to be
Heavy desire, hold this 9, ready to fire
You know me, show me the money like I'm Jerry McGuire
It's on..
[Verse 2: Nature]
It's time we set it straight, connect with Dre the correct way
Predictin' platinum in less than a day
So for that we toast, this one's for us while y'all lackin' hope
All I do is write raps, stack, relax and smoke
Watchin' my dreams come true
Stayin' humble in the eyes of others
Politicin' with the wisest brothers
It's Nature, one of the latest, peep how I play this
Straight from the Bridge, one of your kids' favorites
From now 'til the day that I'm stiff
Foul flagrant, pay the rent, always stay swift
Stuck in my ways, type chauvinistic
Since a youth, I had a thing for big Coups
Flooded rings and older bitches
Holdin' my riches in lump sums for trust funds
Fully recovered thugs lust to bust guns
While some'll get drunk, beat wives and cuss sons
A slow process called life, lets show progress
[Verse 3: Dr. Dre]
When I said I hold my own, I wasn't frontin'
Never claimed to be the baddest, for skills, I got a little somethin'
Comin' through, new clique and tracks
Known for blazin' on The Chronic, that's what put me on the map
Nothin' could give me more pleasure to start this
I worked the hardest
Ducked the farthest, makin' me illest producin' artist
Done crimes, ran from one-time
Could catch me with my crew bustin' rhymes in the Sunshine State
No case, to build I chill with millionaires
Out to make a killin', for real, my resolution this year
Few places I walked, most imagine
New faces I met at beauty pageants
Past cuties now wanna do me
Yo, I never forgot where I'm from
I check for family and every n***a who was down from day one
If you ain't speakin' money language, I can't hang
You know your conversation is weak, so it's senseless to speak
