Nas - No Bad Energy lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm oblivious to you skeptics What you hear you ain't ever hear 'til I repped it Iridescent heroes essence, please clear the exits I chase demons outdoors, force 'em to hear the message, air 'em out Heard some people discussing my whereabouts Yeah, it's been a few sightings of me, a fair amount Never seen much, but yet I'm never in the house Move in style, wild, exciting when I do step out Y'all been rhyming for years and Jungle made a hit "Oochie Wally" I did Sold a million records Had 'em embarrassed Signed to Columbia Blew a check, he was laughing While y'all in the studio bragging about your past and Thinking back on trips on Manhattan Dad was rolling hotels like The Plaza Black bellhops holding Rich people bags, tip their hats to old men coming out of cabs Limousine holding doors for them We all got a job to do, go for it [Chorus] No bad energy, please, no bad energy (Just try to be the best you, man That's all I can say, man) No bad energy, please, no bad energy (Don't light over here, man Put that away, man, put that away) No bad energy, please, no bad energy (Tryna tell 'em, know what I'm saying? Big Apple my Hennessy, please) No bad energy, please, no bad energy (On the rocks, yeah) [Verse 2] To rappers who never sold crack, telling other people's lives Never shot nobody but be shooting people in their rhymes Never robbed nobody or re-upped with coke in they ride I'm probably who they talking about when they're writing most of their lines And I ain't notice it Trapping was what was happening with bolder cliques Around me I'm surrounded by the most devoted clique We saw the smokers get rowdy for all the potentness And still ain't know how sick it was in that ocean abyss What doesn't come out in the wash comes out in the rinse You su*kers ain't had no say so Whoever put you in the position to have a say so should be questioned theyself I'm silk shirts, summer time sunny, sun chaser Pretty girl tongue taster, southern girl luster City girl love maker The matinee watcher The good weather on a Saturday afternoon shopper Good gift copper Still miss Big Poppa [Chorus] No bad energy, please, no bad energy No bad energy, please, no bad energy No bad energy, please, no bad energy No bad energy, please, no bad energy
