[bad word] 2X: Nas] 
(I'm cryin gangsta tears) Only if you could feel my pain 
(I'm cryin gangsta tears) Only if I could show you 
(I'm cryin gangsta tears) Only if you was in this game 
(I'm cryin gangsta tears) You'd feel the whirlwind blow you 

[Nas] 
My daily dose is ferocious 
I smoke dope, just as strong as opium 
Hopin I'm close to just breakin [bad word]  
speakin on podiums 
Facin this cold world head-on, dead on arrivals 
Young black, poor education guns crack 
The gang violence done that 
Nighttime, the guns blow, streets got snitches 
dealers, [bad word]  killers and blunt smoke, clubs open 
Benzes, Jeeps, dubs pokin out tires 
Thugs with heat, pay security, to let them slide in 
Huh, I'm at the corner driftin, sippin, Cognac 
To' back, know dat soldiers is packin no secret 
Though I'm broken hearted women done left me hopeless in darkness 
Smokin, driftin in sickness, stand by oceans watch the sun glisten 
I'm so-searchin, I'm so-hurtin 
What happens when money don't make you happy 
I wish this on no person 
Ate at the classy places, made all my fashion statements 
I got no friends I'm lonely, don't want no pity save it

Yo, ride in the nighttime, I'm high, got on my flight suit 
Hood with the night sign, dark colors on 
Pull up the block my brother's on 
I hug him and we blow trees (sup [bad word] ) Scopin for police 
Guns on our hip, fiends want a fix, stumblin tricks (right here) 
We left the [bad word] game alone 
Brothers is jealous cause we still call the hood our home 
What could you tell us? 
At funerals my eyes swell up  [bad word]  
Look at my dog lay in the casket 
Twin shotgun barrels had blasted 
And rest in peace rakim , is all I could whisper 
as I paid respect, kissed his face and felt hard skin 
It's part of God's plan, but why so many niggaz have to die? 
It's crowded in this place, let the priest and pastor by 
Bandana covers my eye, I'm scopin through the room 
I see killers and thieves, mob bosses and goons 
And yet I feel responsible when my [bad word] s pronounced dead 
inside the hospital, I wish there's somethin I could do, but..
