Testo The Message - Nas
Testo della canzone The Message (Nas), tratta dall'album Best of Nas [Anniversary Edition]
Fake thug, no love, you get the slug, CB4 gusto
Your luck low, I didn't know 'til I was drunk, though
You freak niggas played out, get fucked and ate out
Prostitute turned bitch, I got the gauge out
96 ways I made out, Montana way
The Good-F-E-L-L-A, verbal AK spray
Dipped attaché, jumped out the range, empty out the ashtray
A glass of 'Zé make a man Cassius Clay
Red dot plots, murder schemes, 32 shotguns
Regulate with my thuns, 17 rocks gleam from one ring
Then let me let y'all niggas know one thing
There's one life, one love, so there can only be one King
The highlights of livin', Vegas style, roll dice in linen
Antera spinnin' on millenniums, 20G bets, I'm winnin' them
Threats I'm sendin' them, Lex with TV sets the minimum, ill sex adrenaline
Party with villains, a case of Demi-Sec to chase the Henny
Wet any clique with the semi TEC, who want it?
Diamonds I flaunt it, chickenheads flock, I lace 'em
Fried, broiled with basil, taste 'em
Crack the legs way out of formation
It's horizontal how I have 'em fuckin' me in the Benz wagon
Can it be Vanity from Last Dragon? Grab your gun, it's on though
Shit is grimy, real niggas buck in broad daylight
With the broke MAC, it won't spray right
Don't give a fuck who they hit, as long as the drama's lit
Yo, overnight thugs bug 'cause they ain't promised shit
Hungry-ass hooligans stay on that piranha shit
I never sleep, 'cause sleep is the cousin of death
I ain't the type of brother made for you to start testin'
I never sleep, 'cause sleep is the cousin of death
I ain't the type of brother made for you to start testin'
I never sleep, 'cause sleep is the cousin of death
I ain't the type of brother made for you to start testin'
I never sleep, 'cause sleep is the cousin of death
I ain't the type of brother made for you to start testin'
I peeped you frontin', I was in the Jeep
Sunk in the seat, tinted with heat, beats bumpin'
Across the street, you was wildin'
Talkin' 'bout how you ran the island in '89
Layin' up, playin' the yard with crazy shine
I cocked a baby .9, that nigga gravy mine, clanked him
What was he thinkin' on my corner when it's pay-me time?
Dug 'em, you owe me, cousin somethin' told me, "Plug him"
So dumb, felt my leg burn, then it got numb
Spun around and shot one, heard shots and dropped, son
Caught a hot one, somebody take this biscuit 'fore the cops come
Then they came askin' me my name, what the fuck?
I got stitched up and went through
Left the hospital that same night, what?
Got my gat back, time to backtrack
I had to drop so how the fuck I get clapped?
Black was in the Jeep watchin', all he seen speed by was a brown Datsun
And yo, nobody in my hood got one
That clown nigga's through, blazin' at his crew daily
The 'Bridge touched me up severely, hear me?
So when I rhyme, it's sincerely yours
Be lightin' L's sippin' Coors, on all floors in project halls
Contemplatin' war on niggas I was cool with before
We used to score together, Uptown coppin' the raw
But uh, a thug changes, and love changes
And best friends become strangers, word up
Y'all know my steelo
Yo, what's up, what's up? Let's keep it real, son
Count this money, you know what I'm sayin'?
Y'all know my steelo (yeah, yeah)
A yo, put the grands over there in the safe
You know what I'm sayin'? 'Cause we spendin' these Jacksons
Y'all know my steelo (yeah, yeah)
The watches go to the wife, you know how that go?
I'm sayin' that's what this is all about, right?
Clothes, bankrolls and hoes, you know what I'm sayin'?
