 [bad word]  1  ‐  SAMPLE 
 
VERSE  1  ‐  JR. GONG: 
These  later  days  in  Babylon 
As  I  watch  your  children  grow 
And  the  years  them  carry  on 
And  I  miss  you  even  more 
Still I  send  them  go  to  school 
And  tell  them  
What  dem  fi  know 
All  of  mi  friend  dem  mi  salute 
Daddi gon  & 
Lenny  [bad word] 
Another  year  has [bad word]  and  past 
Man  a  drop  like  morning  dew 
Uncle  Warrick  sick  and  gone 
When  him  couldn’t
 catch  a  flew 
 [bad word]  T  you  a  mi  don 
Respect  long  and  overdue 
When  nothing  never  did  a  gwan 
You  still  have  on  somethin’ new 
Our  friendship  ever  last 
All  when  one  minus  from  few 
Yes  we  surely  had  a  blast 
We’re  like  family  
Me  &  you 
 nuh  every  path  you  cross 
Lead  to  somebody  whe  [bad word] 
Of  the  many  that  are  called 
Only  chosen  is  a  few    

 [bad word]  2  –  JR. GONG 

Of  the  real  friends  that  serve  you  long 
Your  memories  might  fade 
Your  real  friends  will  serve  you  long 
Sunshine  or  rain  
Your  real  friends  will  serve  you  long 
Acquaintances  will  fade 
Your  real  friends  wont  do  you  wrong 
Real  friend  don’t  change         

VERSE  2  –  NAS 
Only  talking  with  winners 
 looser  or  two 
Got  my  number 
Still  they  think  they  real 
But  they  just  really  awfully  bitter 
Salty  niggaz 
Hate  the  smarter  ones 
These  are  the  doubters 
Who s our  ‘bout  my [bad word] 
I  barely  made  it  out  the  slums 
My  value  high 
Cause  I  do  more  than  
Rap  about  a  gun 
I  made  money  for  niggaz 
Ya’ll  never  looking  out  for  none 
I  helped  millionaires  get  to  that  very  position 
Some  real  millionaires  see  that’s  ill 
Cause  look  at  statistics 
Real  millionaires 
And  I  ain’t  talking  ghetto  riches 
Thorough  business 
You  mistreating  niggaz 
Heard  your  folks  bleed  in  prison 
You  ain’t  a R
