NAS - No Introduction lyrics

rate me

[Verse 1: Nas]

P.S. 111 at free lunch, embarrassed but managed to get a plate

We was kids hungry, Mom's working I was famished, she getting home late

So I decided now I'm in charge

Either stay full of starve, corner store like Mr. SpareAQuarter

Before Air Jordans, Kareem Abdul-Jabbars

Trying to cop quarters and trying to move that hard

Roll with a shooting squad

How could I not succumb? How could I not partake?

15 I got a gun, 16 I robbed a train

Licked off a shot for fun, what's got inside my brain?

A hustler's job ain't done, ‘til he becomes a king

But I'm a righteous son, despite I'm in the mist of

Dudes who switch up and change

They want to carry me like I'm some kind of lame

I never let them know, I just forgive them though

Either that or the pistol blow

[Verse 2: Nas]

I remember early mornings - syrup sandwiches, sugar water, yeah

Walking up the dark stairwells, elevators was out of order, yeah

Worth 200 million now, bicentennial nigga, flat screens and condominiums

Brazilian women on Xannies they pulling off panties

I'm pushing 40, she only 21

Don't applaud me, I'm exhausted G

Me and my red cup, my blunt and my red cup

Y'all wouldn't know me without one, I keep a fresh cut

Remember talking to Biggie inside his Lex truck

Said stay fly when you bummy, keep your pajamas Armani

Hood forever, I just act like I'm civilized

Really what's in my mind is organizing a billion black motherfuckers

To take over JP and Morgan Goldman and Sachs

And teach the world facts and give Saudi they oil back

[Verse 3: Nas]

1990's Polo Ralph Lauren on him

Gone a few years, the whole world snoring on him

Girls all up on him, I spread them, hit them and dead them

She says, "third leg from a legend is sheer heaven"

She says, "it is the greatest loving"

The tales you hear is the truth, on me

Who wasn't the most faithful husband

Reveal my life, you will forgive me

You will love me, hate me, judge me, relate to me

Only a few will, this how it sounds when you too real

They think it's just music still

Well I am a graphic classic song composer

Music notes on sheets, I wrote this piece to get closure

Some of y'all might know Kelis - this goes to her with love

Also goes to y'all, let's see

The craziest things already happened to me

So either you'll be laughing at me or you're laughing with me, ha
