We Major (feat. Nas & Really Doe)

You muh'fuckers better do your job and roll up

And watch how we roll up

And I can't control it, I can't hold it, it's so nuts

I take a sip of that 'gnac, I wanna fuck

I take a hit of that chronic, it got me stuck

But really what's amazin' is how I keep blazin'

Towel under the door, we smoke until the day's end

Puff, puff, then pass, don't fuck up rotation

Hypnotiq for Henny? Now, ****, that's a chaser

Turn nothin' to somethin', now, pimpin', that's a savior

Best things are green, now pimpin' get your paper

High off the ground, a steady skyscraper

Cool off thinkin' we local, c'mon, homie, we major

We major? C'mon, homie, we major

We major? C'mon, homie, we major

We major! C'mon, homie, we major

We major! C'mon

Feelin' better than some head on a Sunday afternoon

Better than a chick that say yes too soon

Until you have a daughter that's what I call karma

And you pray to God she don't grow breasts too soon

Projects tore up, gang signs is thrown up

****' hats broke off, that's how we grow up

Why else you think shorties write rhymes just to blow up?

Get they first car and then IRS show up

He ain't never had shit, but he had that 9

**** come through flickin' and he had that shine

Put two and two together and a little bad weather

Gon' be your whole family on that funeral line

Asked the reverend was the strip clubs cool

If my tips help send a pretty girl through school

That's all I want, like winos want they good whiskey

I ain't in the Klan but I brought my hood with me

You muh'fuckers better do your job and roll up

And watch how we roll up

And I can't control it, I can't hold it, it's so nuts

I take a sip of that 'gnac, I wanna fuck

I take a hit of that chronic, it got me stuck

But really what's amazin' is how I keep blazin'

Towel under the door, we smoke until the day's end

Puff, puff, then pass, don't fuck up rotation

Hypnotiq for Henny? Now, ****, that's a chaser

Turn nothin' to somethin', now, pimpin', that's a savior

Best things are green, now pimpin' get your paper

High off the ground, a steady skyscraper

Cool off thinkin' we local, c'mon, homie, we major

We major? C'mon, homie, we major

We major? C'mon, homie, we major

We major! C'mon, homie, we major

We major! C'mon, homie, we major

I heard the beat and I ain't know what to write

First line, should it be about the hoes or the ice?

Four-fours or Black Christ? Both flows'd be nice

Rap about big paper or the Black man plight

At the studio console, asked my man to the right

"What this verse sound like? Should I freestyle or write?"

He said, "Nas, what the fans want is Illmatic still"

Looked at the pad and pencil and jotted what I feel

Been like twelve years since a **** first signed

Now I'm a free agent and I'm thinkin' it's time

To build my very own Motown

'Cause rappers be deprived of executive nine-to-fives

And it hurts to see these companies be stealin' the life

And I love to give my blood sweat and tears to the mic

So y'all copped the LP's and y'all fiends got dealt

I'm Jesse Jackson on the balcony when King got killed

I survived the livest **** around

Lasted longer than more than half of you clowns

Look, I used to cook before I had the game took

Either way my change came like Sam Cooke

Feeling better than I ever felt before today

But better late than never, it's orientation

Still we can make it better, throwing all your cares away

(Oh oh oh)

You muh'fuckers better do your job and roll up

And watch how we roll up

And I can't control it, I can't hold it, it's so nuts

I take a sip of that 'gnac, I wanna fuck

I take a hit of that chronic, it got me stuck

But really what's amazin' is how I keep blazin'

Towel under the door, we smoke until the day's end

Puff, puff, then pass, don't fuck up rotation

Hypnotiq for Henny? Now, ****, that's a chaser

Turn nothin' to somethin', now, pimpin', that's a savior

Best things are green, now pimpin' get your paper

High off the ground, a steady skyscraper

Cool off thinkin' we local, c'mon, homie, we major

We major? (C'mon homie we major)

We major? (C'mon homie we major)

We major (C'mon homie we major)

We major

Feeling better than I ever felt before today

But better late than never, it's orientation

Still we can make it better, throwing all your cares away

Can I talk my shit again?

Can I talk my shit again?

I can't believe I'm back up in this muh'fucker

I'ma be late, though

I gotta figure out what I'm finna wear

Yeah, the Roc is definitely in the building

GOOD Music's definitely in the building

I gotta say what's up to Tony Williams

On the vocals, sing

He sings quite beautifully, don't you agree?

Don't you agree?

Uh, and Jon Brion on the keys right now

And Warryn Campbell on the keys right now

So they ask me, "Why you call it 'Late Registration', 'Ye?"

'Cause we takin these muh'fuckers back to school

If you know this part right here, feel free to sing along

Feeling better than I ever felt before today (If you feelin' good)

But better late than never, it's orientation (It's orientation)

Still we can make it better, throwing all your cares away (We want you to get used to this)

(Oh oh oh)

Uh, they can't do what we do, baby

Uh-uh, uh-uh, they can't do what we do, baby

Uh-uh, uh-uh, they can't do what we do, baby

Yeah
