Nas
You Name It
What you call a man making a name for himself
Dreaming big out of sense of hopelessness
He So selfish, would sacrifice it all to win
He Can’t help it, already gat blood on my leaves
Put yourself in his shoes, you would’ve changed too
You go through what He go through It’ll only break you

What you call a man who had a good spirit as a kid
Grew up and noticed the difference of big poor and rich
What you call a man who lost his pops at 10years old
And every girl he’s with wonder why he’s so cold

I’ve seen n***as who had a chance at the blaze of glory
But slept on they dreams and changed their stories
I’ve had peers succeed and sent my congrats
But all my success is met with stank eyes
Crazy when you are hated on-day 2 by day ones
So I’m the only one around me who’s willing to ride and die

I never hate, I wait my turn cause I know I’m next
It’s blind loyalty every time I’ve had a knife on my back

I cut my grass really low to expose these snakes
And I sleep with one eye open like CBS

Trapped my body but can’t touch my soul
Proving wrong everyone who said I’ll do wrong
I’ve seen more than most will in a life time
Only thing Ive missed, is having tea with Ali or James Brown

I’m out for president to represent me

Verse2

Im feeling it, I feel love of full-filling the void
I’m killing it, the intense finning obsession for gold
Im bringing it, surpassing potential on goals
I’m still with, the dream and my soul’s still intact

I took a break from taking breaks I never sleep
I’m Addicted to touching road, I’ve got to eat
I’ve been told real eye realizes real lies
So I know they looking at me with envy eyes... they faking every smile
Cause every type of success breeds misery
But now my heart grew colder than a hockey ring

From famous friends who weren’t taking my calls
Keeping me at arms length,and still praying I fall
Ive lost thousands on songs that never saw day light
Money wasted on hotels & flights, now I just follow the sun

I can’t trust now, I can’t love now
I wish I never had to take pills to let my guard down
Ive got to call my momma just not to feel out of place
I look at the kids who look up to me just to feel sane

I’m standing for whatever the kids stand for
When the pressure arise guess who can’t fold
From Partners stilling my money & taking me to court
I Gave them an arm and the leg.. they’ll still demand more
Phones tapes cause they curious, got me watching my calls
I rep them five words “ fuck you pay me more”


Dead fucking president to represent me
