[Intro] This is a journey Into the world's most largest and notorious projects, Queensbridge Listen while Nas saves his hood from the most cowardest rappers [Verse 1] He held a ma** appeal and a little boy smile Depressed has a complex his mouth was foul You need to stay around I feel like tellin' some stories First there's this arrogant f**, his name's Cory Hung around my man's Lakey and Big Trevor Trevor's still locked up, Lake's gettin' his cheddar Corey changed his name to ahh, whatever Cornchip, Buckwheat look-a-like, it's Mega Right, Mega was his name, sorry about that But it's so hard to put a cowards name in my rap Always actin' tough, a jokester be frontin' He got snuffed, he got shot in the thigh, he did nothin' But that's Nas always looking out for bredren Cause when bredren don't return love it don't stress him Cause gangsta's do gangsta sh**, real recognize real Still laughin' to the bank and sh** Back to Cor', got him a deal but his rhymes was wack Def Jam mad that he signed the contract Now he got jealous and mad at my shine Making silly tapes, I'm always on his mind Nonsense, not to be obnoxious kid Mega for the record you could s** my dick b**h, you from around the way it's sad what this do to me But Queensbridge, we gotta have unity [Refrain x2] They say the bridge is over, the bridge is over Nah this is a time we destroy and rebuild it They say, the bridge is over, the bridge is over Nah we the strongest hood but weak n***as k** it So they say, the bridge is over, the bridge is over [Verse 2] Since we on the subject of traders and flunkies Mega ain't the only f*ggot in my hood, dummies There's plenty that wanna be me but cannot Its like King Arthur and Knight Sir Lancelot Lefty and Donnie Brasco, Gotti and Paul Before I woulda told you Prodigy's my dog Through the ups and downs, robberies and all Though I always knew he wanted my downfall He would say his little slick sh** and act real funny For what, n***a?

Poor thing! I'm representin' Queensbridge U.S.A Where two SK's go off every day ruthless-lay All you little roaches and rats Besides my man Ricky, Nas the true ruler is back So haters say [Refrain] [Nas talking] "The Bridge is over," my dick! The Bridge'll never be over, long as I'm alive and breathin'! Braveheart to the graveyard! I'm the William Wallace of this sh** Ayo P, Prodigy I got love for you man, I love you man You know what I'm sayin'? Just get them unloyal n***as from out your circle! You can't save everybody! n***as invited you to the hood - rep it right my n***a! Be untouchable, my n***a, so it be Mobb for life for real, and that's real!
