Nas - Reading Road lyrics

[Part One] [Verse 1] They say leave the bank, I take the safe with me I'm a f**ing virus, it ain't safe to get me Rolling bobby, still hitting Whitney All my n***as still getting with me I'm gone Stop and drop and roll Make a n***a pay a toll if he entering my zone I'm home ET my n***a I'll feed my n***as or we all starve I'm the biggest dog, i do more than bark Feeling brave, come meet the sharks They'll eat ya heart like a AllSpark You alright, but we all dark No West Coast, see the Xzibit You want a taste, come and get with it She give me brain like I'm dimwitted But really am I dimwitted Hieroglyphics in my brain, think I'm going insane Ain't the same when I rain on these hoes Got a bottle of rose Well let me make a toast, other n***as ain't close Let me boast on the track Swear they ain't coming back Man I hate this flow, but I do it so well As you can tell, I'm a f**ing beast No really I'm a f**ing beast [Part Two] [Verse 2] I'm the man forever They wanna take me outta style and I'm like man whatever I know in time these haters gonna have to stand the weather But I'm just me, I say it true like it has been a pleasure You had a, feeling of feeling inferior Cause ain't nobody feeling ya Till ya girlfriend started defending ya Man it's, f**ing crazy how they treating me now They eating me out Like I'm a b**h Pause... Think I'm finna quit I, wish they understood the way that I feel Ain't kenen and kel Ain't all that Wait a minute, let me fall back Back into the comfort zone Been awhile since I been gone Feeling safe when I'm at home I like it when my mind is blown Puff the vape cause I hate dealing with ashes They say do you still rap, and I'm like why are you asking This sh** is a pa**ion As real as you laughing Man when will this happen I'm flashing back through memories to see if it's worth saving these [Verse 3] Hip hop has started going criss cross When you got a Rick Ross always yelling out boss But I ain't hating though I'm somewhere waiting though If they don't give me a chance, I swear that imma take it hoe Gotta fall back again I'm getting too tense Reading Road, made Paris Morton for that Lexi chick Then made a sequel so you know I had to mention it And if I get to fame, a n***a know I hope I get it quick Getting rich was never part of the dream I just wanted big stages like the artist I'd seen U S H E R Don't know he sparked up a teen To turn to music so one day he'd be the one on the screen So far it seems, I gotta be a white girl to pop on the scene It makes me f**ing scream inside I mean, what more do I need I need a big black box Just to gather my thoughts So I can trap those mother f**ers and just plot out my takeover Need a makeover My bars could even shake HOVA I told ya that Change the H to J cause everybody knows a Joe that raps But those guys are average I'm feeling savage I'm picking up a new habit Think I'm becoming an addict Just a product of my past But cannot see the future so whenever time has pa**ed I'll be real enlightened to meet ya Speaking to my present self Feeling like a Roosevelt Place my soul on an empty shelf [Outro](x2) Got a feeling this is third eye sh** In my mind I sh** You not I'm telling you There's always been a problem But I been there to solve em The hieroglyphics in my third eye sh**
