Mike Dean - In Between Us lyrics

[Verse 1: Nas] Circumstances are like my first fight I lost It was swinging, my arms bugging, adrenaline pumping Oh sh**, this little n***a's thugging I mean, I was thirteen, I was nursing a knot on my face But chose another time and a place That I would avenge my last fight cuz the same sh** Ain't gonna happen that just happened last night Knuckle game changed quicker than lightning Hit 'em or slice 'em Either stick 'em or blast pipes, it's the fastlife I try to give another n***a advice, shoot dice Do plenty of sh** cause this life, how many you get? How many n***as do you know get two? Besides a n***a who snitch to skip a life-bid, be one a' your crew I don't respect k**ers, I respect O.G. knowledge Codes of the streets got new rules, but no guidance Lessons, detrimental to a young disciple Focus, take care of your brothers, n***as do as I do Keep your enemies close, where they can see you It's not your enemy who get you It's always your own people (x5) [Hook: Tanya Herron] Ma** confusion, in my head k**ing me, driving me mad Got me wondering, can I trust my friends? Cuz they stick me in my back every chance they get Am I paranoid? and if that's the case Is it curable? Can you help me find my place? I can't handle this, I'm losing it With a loose grip I'm hanging on to emptiness Help your brother, save him from the Evil demons in between us, came between us [Verse 2: Scarface] I know you hate me, don't you I bet you sit and wish my time never came You probably rather see me die in the game You probably rather see me die in a plane Well ya'll see me up on top of my dough I get my money sh** changed And n***as start looking at me different than this And downplay the real n***a sh** to get with a b**h But I'mma tell a motherf**er like this You only good as what you come up against n***a you get what you get Sure the gra** is greener on the other side of the fence But any attempts and you gonna need the guy in the trench I'ma starter while you riding the bench You saying you a player, well I'm the one designing your prints Something to go by, to let these n***as know I Don't believe in letting sh** slide, n***a gonna die Best friends since high school seniors Where the homeboys are meaner, but let the bullsh** come between us [Hook: Tanya Herron] Ma** confusion, in my head k**ing me, driving me mad Got me wondering, can I trust my friends? Cuz they stick me in my back every chance they get Am I paranoid? and if that's the case Is it curable? Can you help me find my place? I can't handle this, I'm losing it With a loose grip I'm hanging on to emptiness Help your brother, save him from the Evil demons in between us, came between us [Outro: Scarface] Ay this um...
