[Hook] I know all of y'all hear me, none of y'all scare me Cause n***as die daily Coming out with my guns real early Laying in your stairway, cause n***as die daily So I got n***as around you Mad like they're back for their man You've k**ed just a year ago today So call it a d**h anniversary Rushing to emergency, n***as die daily [Nas] What if I told you that AZ didn't exist And I put him there, played it like a ventriloquist Cause n***as spit fake sh** and y'all respect it I spit that real sh** and y'all won't buy the record What if me and the rapper homey was really cool And we used that whole thing as a media tool Would you say I was a s**a or say I was savvy If I told you mothaf**a's that me and K wasn't married? What if Jungle wrote my sh** and I'm really illiterate And the whole Nas catalog was just an experiment What if I really died when Ill Will got shot This is Will rhyming right now while Nas is chilling with 'Pac What If I did all the advertisements thrown my way
And I've boned every chick that would throw me some play I'd have to load another AK cause n***as be jealous Cause we real like them Brazil favelas [Hook] [Nas] Scream at the n***a "breathe don't breathe your last breath" But you know a n***a dead when he pee on himself Blatter giving up on 'em, face start to puff on 'em Bloating up, n***a cold as f**, trying hold on 'em Loosen up the nine out of his fingers Angels coming only he can hear the psalms that they're singing And it hurts me, the planets cursed, B This your n***as first year anniversary This how it goes down in every ghetto So it's quite natural for rappers to settle And make pop music, nursery hooks Cause back then we thought the only thing that worked was the jooks They're tryna pimp a game that done pimped them first I'm pimping the industry so they acknowledge our worth The next anniversary we all unite Let's all get together or we're loosing the fight [Hook]
