Jay-z - Nymp lyrics

[jay-z] Geyeah, nymp the realest, uhh This is educated thug mu-sic, n***az Life's a battle, mean streets eat you alive Blocks'll have you, tryin to maintain your course Through the potholes and gravel Hot holes and what-have-you, tryin to clock dough Foes tryin to pop shots through you by code Pigs tryin to grab you and lock up your soul Through the hot apple, nighttime shots crackle (bucka bucka bucka) fiends tryin to gaffle you Not only cokeheads but the feds in the mercuray topaz After you, up the avenue Tryin to give you big numbers, you got math to do Tryin to make you miss summer, sh**, that ain't cool I caught smaller cases tryin to get cap or two Up against the wall, tryin to pa** through Ghost-like, hear the cries from the tortured souls Most nights, i hold my toast tight, and it goes like Chorus: jay-z N.y.m.p., the realest n***az N.y.m.p., the realest n***az Uhh, uh-huh-uh-uhh, n.y.m.p. the realest Marcy.. brooklyn.. [jay-z] Yo; i come through, gettin money, sittin on twenties n***az throwin me shade, but ain't sh** sunny Hot shells only thing n***az could get from me co*ktails thrown in your living room, ka-boom I'm so confrontational; They shoulda never let me go on probation yo I'm a hustler; except that.. No correctional facilities can correct that I took a step back, i viewed myself, seen where my head was at It's where that dough is homey, gotta get that Gotta get away, some try but head back Uhh, street smart n***az got left back Some died, they left stacks Me, i ball right, and on top of that i'm dog nice Jigga been cold as f** before ice Not before christ, but a long f**in time Get your mind right n***az Chorus: jay-z N.y.m.p., the realest Uh-huh-uh-uhh, n.y.m.p., the realest n***az Uhh uh-huh, uh-uhh, n.y.m.p. the realest n***az Marcy.. feel me.. [jay-z] I looked d**h in the face years back I held tears back, i gathered myself and stared back I'm from where you don't crack, the weak don't live You gotta bounce back homey, the streets don't give I take and rape villages, who gon' stop him? Not rudy guiliani, not hillary rodham Still i still pop him sh** i gra**y knoll and hilltop him, it's all political now I think big when i spit at you now Between my dog and the figures, the four gonna get'cha Between life and d**h, they k**ed my spirit So what little life i got left, y'all can expect me to ball I ? myself, teacher said i was a lost cause Cause i used to roam them halls Still i spit knowledge, dropped out of high school, skipped college Who woulda thought i'd make it "big" like ms. wallace? Chorus: jay-z Uhh, yeah, n.y.m.p., the realest n***az Brooklyn, what? n.y.m.p., the realest n***az Uhh, uh-huh-uh-uhh, n.y.m.p. the realest n***az Marcy.. brooklyn, n.y.m.p. the realest, feel me [jay-z] Educated, thug mu-sic n***az This is brooklyn, this is gangsta, this is project Real sh**, n.y.m.p. the realest n***az Marcy, brooklyn, stompin grounds f** with me
