Uh uh, yo
They plan was to knock me out the top of the game
But I overstand they [bad word] is all lame
I hold cannons that shoot balls of flames
Right in they fat mouth then I carve my name
Nas, too real, Nas, [bad word] king
It`s however you feel, g`head, you swing
Your arms too short to box with god
I don`t kill soloists only kill squads
Fame went to they head, so now it`s  [bad word] Nas"
Yesterday you begged for a deal, today you tough guys
I seen [bad word] Soon as I popped my first bottle I spotted my enemies tryna` do what I do
Came in with my style, so I fathered you
I kept changing on the world since "Barbeque"
Now you wanna hang with niggas I hung with [bad word] [bad word] I hit, it`s funny I once said,
If I, ever make a record
I take a check and put something away for a rainy day to make my exit
But look at me now, ten years deep
Since in the project, crack in my socks weep
I never asked to be top of rap`s elite
Just a ghetto child tryna` learn the traps of the streets
But look at me now
 [bad word]  x5]
"You`re the man" "You`re the man"

now wait a sec`, give me time to explain, women and fast cars
And diamond rings can poison a rap star
It`s suicidal, how I smoke in so much la`
I saw a dead bird flying through a broken sky
Wish I could flap wings and fly away
To where black kings and Ghana stay
So I could get on my flesh right away
But that`ll be the day when it`s peace
When my gat don`t need to spray
When these streets are safe to play [bad word] with death, indulge in these women
Vision my own skeleton swimming in eternal fire
Broads play with pentagrams in they [bad word] Like the Exorcist, then they gave birth to my seeds
I beg for God`s help, why they love hurting me?
I`m your disciple, a thug certainly
I`m the N the to the S-I-are
If I wasn`t I must`ve been Escobar
Forty-five in my waist, staring at my reflection
In the mirror, sitting still in the chair like my conception
When everything around me got cloudy, the chair became a king`s throne
My destiny found me
It`s clear why the [bad word] was so painful
Metamorphosis, this is what I changed to
And God, I`m so thankful
 [bad word]
