[45 seconds of talking/skit]

[Nas]

It was a murder
Jake just hit the corner people swarming
Three in the morning I jumped out my cab like "$#&@,

^!$$%z is buck," mega bloodshed, the tapes red
I heard some bird whisper, "Yo he should have ducked"
I puffed the lilla, just before I hit the scene for rilla

I'm all high it's late I'm looking down at the fella
%#@!'s pushed in, ambulance placed him on some cushion
His mom's had a stare I wouldn't dare second look when I murk

It hurt, kind of took it as a brief reminder
that the street's designed to stop your life, plot
The beast in time yeah, cell to cell suspect $$# ^!$$% you fell

First time locked in crime stop my mind blocks the frail
Bursting blasting at your forty cal shell, split your dry cell
My ^!$$%s never snitch why tell

We roll with no regrets, destiny's, fifty's and equities
Queens'll be the death of me


[Chorus:]

To the suspect witness don't come outside

You might get your %#@! pushed back tonight
(Suspect witness don't come outside
You might get your %#@! pushed back tonight)


[Chorus]


[Nas]
Dear God, I want the riches, money hungry (*##$es infested
Giving the jealous ^!$$%s sickness, the witness

My crew dresses, in vest-es, feel the essence
Try to test this, scientist, able and reckless
Slaughter, Nautica'd down, frames look petite

Ten millis, mix designed just for my physique
I keep a low pro as if I owe, bless the flow lovely
My pants hang low while I'm dancing, sipping the bubbly

Hey, me no worry, hashish keep my eyes Chinese
Rollin two Phillies together make blunts Siamese
I meant it, I represent it, descendant made of

early natives that were captured and taught to think backwards
Trapped us in a cracker psychiatric, it's massive
A Million Man March, alert the masses

Ten glocks, Armani in small print, upon my glasses
Don $$#assins, armageddon, the wettin'
Never freakin the beast, seven heads, got the righteous threatened

Life Was Written, the plot curves behind the settin'
Comprehend the grammar, Manfrione -- are you the type of ^!$$%
to shoot a leg to get your name known? I flip the brain tome

^!$$%z get hit and wrap the plastic
The mic I strike in vain givin the pain of what a Mack is
What you with? Luchi or drama, no sleep means insomnia

No need to check the clock, the streets are timin you

[Chorus]


[Nas]
It justifies, Nas Escobar's leavin %#@! mesmerized

Mega live, like the third world
Decipher my deceiver make him a believer
Spitting jim stars, words in my mic ttype receiver

Bond is my life so I live by my word
Never fraudulent Queensbridge don't make no herbs
Spread my name to deacons, politicians while they speakin

Rebel to America civilization caught you sleepin

[talkin to fade]
