PKTY - Let Nas Down (Remix) lyrics

[Intro: PKTY] Freedom or jail, clips inserted A baby's being born same time a man is murdered The beginning and end, as far as rap goes It's only natural, I explain my plateau And also what defines my name [Bridge: PKTY] Yeah long live the idols, may they never be your rivals Slick rick was like Jesus, G Rap wrote the bible Now what you bout to hear is a tale of glory and sin Now the streets my mentor now let the story begin [Verse 1: PKTY] When I was young I used to look at pictures of my wall Created words from the images now that's what I saw Tales of glory and life, tales of trife, people walking around Some people yeah they be up in there living a c**a leaf life Im in strife It inspired, and gave me purpose to follow my dreams But its hard where I'm at, Yo it ain't what it seams Had the support.. Yo.. but not in the right place Some people can just get famous if they have the right face, waist Embodied in the game, just got overly obsessed Wouldn't tell my parents though, they'd just get overly depressed When I first heard illmatic I.. new it was on 18 year old white boy, within the “State of Mind” to “Represent” For my country you know where I'm from A.U.S Now I'm up in this business like KRS-One But I'm still getting critics thrown at me Gotta keep them singles up to make em happy [Bridge: PKTY] Yeah long live the idols, may they never be your rivals Slick rick was like Jesus, G Rap wrote the bible Now what you bout to hear is a tale of glory and sin Now the streets my mentor now let the story begin [Verse 2: PKTY] I used my capabilities as much as I could But I couldn't seem to get to that place I thought I would Now I'm still unsigned I must have made a mistake Put down the wrong lyrics and made the wrong tape I had no one to blame, cause I'm still on my own No one to take the fall but me, that's all I was shown I have no hits, no credit to my history gone Im hoping that won't be going on for too long I need to think back at that time spent in my room Thinking, about the stars that have reached the sky (Sun) and moon No one failed me no one knew who I was yet I heard Kanye, and he pushed me up little step.. further His college dropout album really kicked me in my nerves I was sick, from hip hop it was so influential Changed my life, now I'm drilling holes in you like I'm dental, I flip J. Cole puts his heart on his tracks that what I love about him And that's where its at [Bridge: PKTY] Yeah long live the idols, may they never be your rivals Slick rick was like Jesus, G Rap wrote the bible Now what you bout to hear is a tale of glory and sin Now the streets my mentor now let the story begin [Verse 3: PKTY] Turned my life to Christ Now I'm reborn and I'm living life Spill my guts out in front of the crowd, Yeah that's living twice I.. always believed in the bigger picture No turning back.. Not sure if people respect that Opening doors n closing em in front of my eyes yeah what a surprise I got my eyes wide open before it was all a mirage People believe in evil and some believe in good I believe in both and that's what you should Now I'm not tryna' bible bash with my words that's observed I just want you to think about the stripes that you've earned Have you been stung by the illness.. that they call rap Or are you too nervous to go and bring it right back [Bridge/Outro: PKTY] Yeah long live the idols, may they never be your rivals Slick rick was like Jesus, G Rap wrote the bible Now what you bout to hear is a tale of glory and sin Now the streets my mentor now let the story begin
