Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey, yo
Queens get the money, **** still screaming, paper chasing
But presidential candidates is planning wars with other nations
Over steak with masons
Pregnant teens give birth to intelligent gangsters they daddies faceless
Play this, by ya stomach, let my words massage it and rub it
I'll be his daddy if there's nobody there to love it
Tell him his name Nasir, tell him how he got here
Mama was just having fun with someone above her years
[Verse 2]
**** is still hating
Talking that Nas done fell off with rhyming, he rather floss with diamonds
They prayed, please God, let him spit that 'Uzi in the army lining
That shorty doo-wop rolling oowops in the park reclining
Take twenty-seven emcees, put them in a line and they out of alignment
My assignment since he said retirement
Hiding behind 8 mile and The Chronic
Get's rich but dies rhyming, this is high science
[Verse 3]
Now add twenty-three more for queens to be more, I'm over they heads
Like a bulimic on a seesaw
Now that's fifty porch monkeys ate up at the same time
Nasty Nas that
Y'all gonna bow holmes, this is Dow Jones
Eighty cal chrome, needed time alone to zone
The mack left his iPhone and his nine at home
My queen used her milkshake to bring y'all to my slaughterhouses
I do this for the group home kids in boarding houses
[Verse 4]
This that **** shit that's on the album
For them **** inside the chalk lining forty houses
Bring back Arsenio
Hip hop was aborted, so Nas breathes life back into the embryo
Let us make man in our image, spit it
I'm Huey P and Loui V at the eulogy throwing Molotovs for Emmett
You ain't as hot as I is
All of these false prophets is not messiahs
[Verse 5]
You don't know how high the sky is
The square mileage of earth or what pi is
I'm the shaky hand that touched George Foreman in Zaire
The same hand that punched down devils that brought down the towers
