The Essence (feat. Nas)

Ayo God, yo meet me at the Deniece Williams concert tonight, man

E'rybody there, Stacy Lattisaw, Teena Marie, e'rybody, man

Yeah yeah no doubt

I'ma bring one of my baddest stallions, man

Hahahaha

You do the same aight?

You know how we play baby, listen

I'm at a car wash right now

But I'ma hit you as soon as I'm right over there

Right in front right? Yeah, okay, aight got you

Son, who laced you with the ill haircut?

Lenny, he blessed me with the sharp blade

That ****'s paid, he make a pretty penny

Yo, you hurt 'em with the new Prada's

True, check mines they royal blue

My shits is baby blue

They powder blue, yo' shits is hotter

You hotter with them frames on

**** you James Bond, and you stay low

Y'know my style bab' bro

Yeah, make dough, manicure, facial, face glow

Fuck it if you say so; I keep it P.I.!

That's how we break hoes

We throwin' ivory dice across the concrete

And of course that don't make him your man because y'all palms meet

We had boxes bumpin' La-Di-Da-Di

Shotties was blastin', pellets jumpin' into everybody

They never got me

Was cool with all the park shooters, sparkin' bazookas

Sharpen your tutors, 'cause we don't pardon the snoozers

Yo, son, I wouldn't change my life for nothin'

And that ain't like you for frontin'

Who's the nicest? Nuff talkin', light somethin'

Yo we hard hit, just like Camacho and Vargas

Who's the target?

Now watch how we close the market

We both hard hit, just like Hagler and Hearns

Add the math, be concerned, if it's beef you burn

Yo it's sorta like, Poitier and Bill Cosby

'Let's Do It Again,' a beautiful blend, let's do it to win

My ****, my ****

My ****, my ****

My ****, my ****

Uh

What's today's mathematics?

We had it, we let 'em hold it, we should've sold it

We back at it, we could've grabbed it

But fuck it, just let 'em have it

Al 'Humdulillah

Allahu Akbar, God is the greatest

Planet Mars, we carved in the faces

You couldn't catch us in a car without the bangers

Believe, I touched a couple of movie stars and entertainers

Indeed, one in particular, almost started to name her, ha ha

I was there when you first pushed up and started to game her

Been a long journey, certain shit just don't concern me

They ain't hurtin' shit; we flip, they hire attorneys

Yo I'ma stay custom, 'til I'm old grey and rustin'

Reminiscin the number of chickens that claim we fucked 'em

Bet some badder hoes than them other funky rappers chose

I'm tryin' to wife a chick, light a spliff

Okay, this might be like another part to "Life's a Bitch"

Bite your lips, who's nice as this? We righteousness

No mic assists, it's murderous - granted the right to flip

Yo we hard hit, just like Camacho and Vargas

Who's the target

Now watch how we close the market

We both hard hit, just like Hagler and Hearns

Add the math, be concerned, if it's beef you burn

Yo it's sorta like, Poitier and Bill Cosby

'Let's Do It Again,' a beautiful blend, let's do it to win

My ****, my ****

My ****, my ****

My ****, my ****

Uh

Yo we hard hit, just like Camacho and Vargas

Who's the target

Now watch how we close the market

We both hard hit, just like Hagler and Hearns

Add the math, be concerned, if it's beef you burn

Yo it's sorta like, Poitier and Bill Cosby

'Let's Do It Again,' a beautiful blend, let's do it to win

My ****, my ****

My ****, my ****

My ****, my ****

Uh

Like, Spinks and Hearns..

Sorta.. Poitier, Bill Cosby

'Let's Do it Again,' ****
