[Nas]
They never realizedhow real Nasis so decisive
It s just the likenessof Isrealites mistthat made me write this
A slight twistof lime rhymebe chasin down your prime time
Food for thought or rather mind wine
The Don Juanfeatures the freak shitmy thesis
on how we creep quick in your wife that ain t so secret
It s mandatory - see that they hand it to me
I got no gameit s just some bitches understand my story
There ain t no drama that my niggaz never handle for me
My gator brand is Maurrywalkin through rough land before me
where the snakes put a smile on they facehopin and prayin I m stuck
Scopin they lay in the cutweighin my luck
Player haters play this in cell blocks and rock stages
Winkin at some females cops with cocked gauges
Really it s papers I m addicted towasn t for rap then I ll be stickin you
The mag inside the triple goose
Face down on the floorsthe routine
Don t want hear nobody blow steamjust cream or it s a smoke screen
Imagine that - that s why I hardly kick the braggin raps
I zoneto each his own and this ghetto inhabitant
[Chorus: Nas and Foxy Brown (repeat 2X)]
Watch dem niggas that be close to you
And make sure they do what they supposed to do
Cause you know they be thinkin about smokin you
Never personalnowadaysit s the ways
[Nas]
Now how can I perfect this (uhhwhat)
livin recklessdie for my necklace
Crime infecteddrivin a Lexus with a death wish
Jettincheckin my message on the speaker
Boppin to Mona Lisa brown reeferten G sgun and my Visa
CD crankindoin ninety on the Franklin-D-Roosevelt
No seat beltdrinkin and thinkin
My man caught a bad one sonniggaz is frightened
Secret indictmentsadds on to one seekin enlightment
My Movado says seventhe God hourthat s if you follow
traditions started by the school not far from the Apollo
My " Tommorrow" motto through the eyes of Pablo
Escobar the desperado - word to Cus D Amato
[Chorus: Nas and Foxy Brown]
Got to watch dem niggas that s close to you
And make sure they do what they supposed to do
Cause you know they be thinkin about smokin you
Never personalnowadaysit s the ways
Watch dem niggas that s close to you
And make sure they do what they supposed to do
Cause you know they be thinkin about smokin you
Never personalnowadaysit s the ways
[Nas]
Some niggaz watch you (uh) see you when you think on the low
Ain t hard to spot youyou swore to keep it real after you blow
Three ki snew V swent to Anguilla with your hoe
Stayed around the hoodsmoothest catgettin the dough
Them old timersadvise you to them problems that s ahead
Drama with the Fedsnot listenin just bobbin your head
Your Roley shininthinkin to yourself nobody s takin mine
At the same timeyour hoe is gettin snatched from behind
Put in the vanwhere s the hundred grandscript in her hand
From all the icewouldn t you know -
- you knew these niggaz all your life
What made them mark you victimyou ed up somehwere down the line
now they had to target your Wisdom
She took em to your placestraight to your safe
You doubted it could happen sick of yappin
Dump in your rideheaded to your side
Puffin ganja get to your cribcan t find her
Just a reminder shit and have your stash house where you crash out
Coulda passed outyour coke was gonenow you assed out
Dead bitches tell no liesyou should use your eyes
[Chorus: Nas and Foxy Brown]
Got to watch dem niggas that s close to you (uhh)
And make sure they do what they supposed to do (whathah)
Cause you know they be thinkin about smokin you (mmm)
Never personalnowadaysit s the ways
Watch dem niggas that s close to you (uhh)
And make sure they do what they supposed to do
Cause you know they be thinkin about smokin you (uh-huh)
Never personalnowadaysit s the ways
(uhh)
