Nas - Come Get Me lyrics

[Produced by DJ Premier] And as a special treat this evening I have asked America's foremost young poet To read his latest poem for us {*scratching by DJ Premier: "ladies and gentlemen.." "Na-Na-Na-Nastradamus" "Everybody watch him" "ladies and gentlemen.." "Na-Na-Na-Nastradamus" "We-we-we came a long way" "ladies and gentlemen.." "Na-Na-Na-Nastradamus" "Everybody watch him" "ladies and gentlemen.." "Na-Na-Na-Nastradamus"* [Verse 1:] Yo.. Yo.. yo.. Power and crime, the thugs slingin powder and dimes Twenties of D, is yo' n***as wilder than mine? My n***as bust nines, puff lye and stick up cowards For they shine, you resist, then you push up flowers I'm like Luca Brasi, Vito's best hit-man That's "Godfather" sh**, back seat, next lit plans Revolvers spit, I'm too tough to bargain with And you don't want the God to pull up the cars that's sick Arms and wrists is lit up, Queensbridge Kings Plaques, awards, applause when I do my thing Streets is black as midnight, the concrete gray With stains of blood and germ and piss all day Come on the ave, get sized up, plus appraised Duck and pray that my guns dont' bust your way n***as with names, livin off reputation Sometimes gotta remind you ain't nothing changing {*scratching by DJ Premier: "ladies and gentlemen.." "Na-Na-Na-Nastradamus" "Everybody watch him"} [Hook x2] If you ill come get me, cause I ain't running If your gun's off the hook then we'll both be gunning Come get me if you real, cause I ain't scared It's all fair in love and war and I'm well prepared If you ill come get me, cause I ain't running If your gun's off the hook then we'll both be gunning Come get me if you real, cause I ain't scared It's all fair in love we can take it there [Verse: 2] You don't like me clown? Now you wanna take me down? If I bring my face around, you gon' do what? You bu*t Your crew knew I blew up, I been shinin - baseball diamonds Dick rings for your chicklings n***as know what my nine pearl handle's about f** you say girlie mouth? Get it krunk like the Dirty South And I know you see me flossed out, multi-milli-i Hear your b**h talk about me, you give her the cold eye? Girls dig you, imagine what she feel for me? You make hot songs, but she know you steal from me Who ill as me? I wild on haters in album three Next level - I take y'all n***as to 3-D Can't find a n***a shook from Queens I'll be with the most grimy k**ers (what n***a) and they all look clean Who put bombs underneath cars, if you want beef then start Your next stop is to the graveyard [Hook] [Verse: 3] You too feminine to k** again, jail got you soft You talk but you scared to go back up North Keep your face twisted, but you don't really want nothing Talk a bunch of sh** motherf**er and stop fronting You don't wanna flip again, and sell d** again Be on the run again, catch you at the Comfort Inn Shoot up your door, bust in on you and your who*e Put y'all in bags, clean the blood off of the floor So play tough, I want y'all to get out of line I got nines, every color shape and design I sent k**ers every race to put one in your spine Two in your ear, get your crew, who do I fear? Nobody never get involved and none of em dyin I think like you do, roll with about two irons Catch me flying, high in the aircraft wining - and dining, the rich a**, then we laugh at your b**h-a** When they gauze up your stab wounds While I'm gettin head, in a Lear jet, bathroom With all my goons, all my ice, and suitcases Full of paper, not money it's bank statements The Illmatic that explains how we rock Yachts and co-ops, we buy the hood and sell you a block [Hook] {*scratching by DJ Premier: "ladies and gentlemen.." "Na-Na-Na-Nastradamus" "Everybody watch him" "ladies and gentlemen.." "Na-Na-Na-Nastradamus" "We-we-we came a long way" "ladies and gentlemen.." "Na-Na-Na-Nastradamus" "Everybody watch him" "ladies and gentlemen.." "Na-Na-Na-Nastradamus"*} {*scratching by DJ Premier: "ladies and gentlemen.."} {*scratching by DJ Premier: "ladies and gentlemen.."} {"Hydro Drops" weed skit follows}
