Nas - Queens Wolf lyrics

[Verse 1] At fourteen tried out for the ball team Junior high, they denied me I shot bricks that made the backboard scream Fightin' Italian rival gangs, they was sniffin' glue I was skippin' school, smokin' green, that was the sh*t to do Stole somebody team jacket at practice, slept through my classes The borough Queens, so it's rep the Q to the casket Average student, had illusions of the supernatural Horror movie addict, werewolf fanatic and Dracul' One night after school and train hoppin' and snatchin' jewels I dozed at midnight, woke up a little after two My hands shook violently My eyes took red My hair spun in ways Bread was the only word I said I heard voices in the nights calling, the Benz engine roaring Heard that gin and champagne pourin' and ni**as ballin' I put the .22 on my waist The face in the moon had a mean look I transformed to the Queens wolf [Chorus] You could hear me growlin' through public housin' No telling, might wake up in Queens house or Rikers Island A Queens wolf Ladies wanna get beside him If haters try bussin' the silver bullet inside him, they dyin' You could hear me growlin' through public housin' No telling, might wake up in Queens house or Rikers Island A Queens wolf Ladies wanna get beside him If haters try bussin' the silver bullet inside him, they dyin' [Verse 2] Waking up is a pleasure though last night I can't remember Cash up on my dresser, where'd it come from? This is messed up What kind of fatal drug am I taking? who laced it? Previous night, memories who erased it? Wasn't even wasted I do recall the nightfall, lunar, the stars around it Then my man called, said what I did, the goons were talkin' 'bout it Singin' me praises, said I lit the corners up It sounded like Vietnam screamin' out "QBietnam" the loudest "Homie them dudes is scared you gon' spray 'em, word to Bing They'll do anything, pay you real good to be on their team" So that explain the money and the chains that's on my dresser drawer That wasn't there a day before, I should press 'em all But I be on some cool sh*t, ni**a, my QU sh*t Audemars watch, burn a peach Swish', new whip Stoli' vodka, club soda with my new chick Ah sh*t, teeth showing, snarling when the moon's lit [Chorus] You could hear me growlin' through public housin' No telling, might wake up in Queens house or Rikers Island A Queens wolf Ladies wanna get beside him If haters try bussin' the silver bullet inside him, they dyin' You could hear me growlin' through public housin' No telling, might wake up in Queens house or Rikers Island A Queens wolf Ladies wanna get beside him If haters try bussin' the silver bullet inside him, they dyin'
