Nas - Carry On Tradition

Yea niggaz want to
talk about this rap shit
Niggaz want to talk about
this money
About these cars
these homes
these labels
Clothes sneakers
big money shit
Now everybody
tryin' to get rich
Now get rich niggaz fuck it
Some rap pioneers
be them crackheads
When they speak
you see missin' teeth
Silver chain
with a silver piece
Niggaz your grandfather's age
They pants still
hangin' down they legs talkin'
about they ain't paid
And they hate you
'cause they say
you ain't pay dues And
was stealin'
and robbin' them
I feel it's a problem
we gotta resolve
Hip Hop been dead
we the reason it died
Wasn't Sylvia's
fault or because
MC's skills are lost
It's because we can't see
ourselves as the boss
Deep rooted through slavery
self hatred
The Jewish stick together
friends in high places
We on some low level shit
We don't want
niggaz to ever win
See everybody got a label
Everybody's a rapper
but few flow fatal
It's fucked up
it all started
from two turntables
When they crown you
and you
rise up to your position
Carry On Tradition
When they knight you
then you go to fight
go to war don't petition
Carry On Tradition
Carry On Tradition
Carry on ca carry on
Carry On Tradition
Carry On Tradition
when you rep what we rep
Then Carry On Tradition
Now some of these
new rappers got their caps
flipped backwards
Wit their fingers
intertwined in some
gang sign madness
I got an exam
let's see if y'all pass it
Let's see who can
quote a Daddy Kane
line the fastest
Some of you new rappers
I don't understand your code
You have your man shoot you
like in that Sopranos episode
Do anythin' to get in the game
mixtapes you spit hate
Against bosses
hungry fucks are moraless
You should be tossed
in a pit full of
unfortunate vocalists
Niggaz
I coulda wrote your shit
I had off time
was bored wit this
I coulda made my double LP
just by samplin'
different parts of Nautilus
Still came five on the charts
with zero audience
The lane was open and
y'all was droppin'
that garbage shit
Y'all got awards
for your bricks
it got good to ya
You started tellin' them
bigger dogs to call it
quits
When they crown you
and you rise up
to your position
Carry On Tradition
When they knight you
then you go to fight
go to war don't petition
Carry On Tradition
Carry On Tradition
Carry on ca carry on
Carry On Tradition
Carry On Tradition
when you rep what we rep
Then Carry On Tradition
Now niggaz got the
studio poppin'
it's mad clearer
Engineers got his earplugs
and still hear us
The live in the park sound
versus the studio
state of art sound
We on the charts now
from British
Walkers and Argyles
Look at us rap stars now
wit our black cars now
Fortune 500 listed
brunches sip Cipriani's
Sippin' blunted
with rich white guys around me
Thick white girls around me
Chinese lined up
Because I'm what
every dime lust
We used to be a ghetto secret
can't make my mind up
If I want that or the
whole world to peep it
Now
Carry On Tradition
Fuck a bum wack
rapper makin' his career
out of dissin'
Peace to the strugglin'
artists and dead one's gone
we miss 'em I promise I
Carry On Tradition
When they crown you
and you rise up to
your position
Carry On Tradition
When they knight you
then you go to fight
go to war don't petition
Carry On Tradition
Carry On Tradition
Carry on ca carry on
Carry On Tradition
Carry On Tradition
when you rep what we rep
Then Carry On Tradition
