Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh yeah, girl, get 'em out of our way
Oh yeah, girl, get 'em out of our way
Oh yeah, girl, get 'em out of our way
Oh yeah, girl, get 'em out of our way
[Verse 2]
Nas the Don, Nas the Don, Nas the Don, Nas the Don
Nas the Don, Nas the Don, Nas the Don, Nas the Don
Inna New York City, take a New York City
Take a New York City, take a New York City, take a
[Verse 3]
Smokin' the escubano
Guzzle my second bottle
Hope I don't catch a homo
Closin' that neck
Simultaneously makin' me climb higher
Heinous crimes behind me
Search but can't find me
Fuck sadness
Hell is for you
Heaven is lavish
Habitual happiness had me you wouldn't look backwards
You would have sex on condominium roof decks
So anyone move next
I hit you with two Techs
[Verse 4]
Rockin' Roberto Cavalli
No shirt on
Convertible Mazy
My Columbiano mommy right here beside me
Every tat means somethin' that's my word on my body
I have to leave somethin' with them mugs first, shotty
My **** is ig'nant
Put lead in your picnic
Just 'cause y'all was bad at all the years I was gettin' it
And nine seven to six
Not eight to Bentley
Now is the ghost phantom
And y'all can't stand 'em but
[Verse 5]
Nas the Don, Nas the Don, Nas the Don, Nas the Don
Nas the Don, Nas the Don, Nas the Don, Nas the Don
Inna New York City, take a New York City
Take a New York City, take a New York City, take a
[Verse 6]
Yeah, army jack and swag
Army jack is green and black
With the square top pocket that snaps
Where the gas at
Pass that, not you
You hold cracks in your ass crack
I never did that
My socks where my stats was at
Yo, I used to listen to that red alert and rap attack
I fell in love with all that poetry
I mastered that
[Verse 7]
Cuttin' school with pre-teen, the fat cap was at
Future not crystal clear yet, back or at
Now I'm the one who rappin' queens
Way beyond your wildest dreams
Bottles on bottles with sparklers
Surround my team
That long cash give the baddest bitches out they jeans
Twenty years in this game lookin' seventeen
I don't lean no codeine, promethazine
I just blow green
Pick which bitch to bless the king
Although he's on to another chapter
Heavy D gave this beat to Salaam for me to rap to
[Verse 8]
Nas the Don, Nas the Don, Nas the Don, Nas the Don
Nas the Don, Nas the Don, Nas the Don, Nas the Don
Inna New York City, take a New York City
Take a New York City, take a New York City, take a
[Verse 9]
Yeah, yeah
New York is like a island
A big Riker's island
The cops be out wildin'
All I hear is sirens
It's all about survivin'
Same old two step
Try to stay alive and
They be out robbin'
[Verse 10]
I've been out rhymin'
Since born dollars like prophet Muhammed say they ink from a scholar
Worth more than the blood of a martyr
So I'ma keep it on till I see a billion dollars
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer
Love model choked ya
Mommy poppin' like she 'posed to
Eyes red shot like I'm never sober
Big time smoker
Indonesia Doja
Made enemies you can hold up before you end up with it from my soldier
Don shit
Under fire I remain on some calm shit
This for every ghetto in the hood
Now's the Don, super cat the Don Da-Da
Understood
[Verse 11]
Nas the Don, Nas the Don, Nas the Don, Nas the Don
Nas the Don, Nas the Don, Nas the Don, Nas the Don
Inna New York City, take a New York City
Take a New York City, take a New York City, take a
New York
