Nas - Back When
The ill reminisce and
think about the fly days
Nothing like them 80s summer
N Y days
Hop on the NB5 days
Mopeds Pro Keds
city split five ways
How it all started
fifth floor apartment
A jigsaw puzzle aerial view
of the projects
A kid saw struggle
buried a few of his partners
Now chill in resorts
enjoying massages
Check out the oracle bred
from city housing
Nas I’ll rise the deads
by thousands
I remember seeing
Shan chilling near his Audi
Hollis Ave running them
but I probably
Put a poster up of Shan
and Marley that was art kid
You love to hear the story
how it started
The bubbly
I’m pouring wasn’t popped yet
Before there was a audience to watch us
I assure you
there was a process
back when back when
To call them fake today is hate
real niggas extinct
Pac left me inside a rap world
with niggas that’s weak
And other rappers
undercover niggas spit every way
Won’t be surprised
if all their rides have federal plates
Let alone their wardrobes are
Studio 4 flow
It was real when I appeared
it would’ve been some jaws broke
Nas my real name
stage name same thing
How could you let these claim king
I’m so ashamed man
I light a L for Vernon
for niggas who would burn in Hell
For Vernon 10th Street
12th Street Nightmare on Elm Street
Pimps creep delve deep
inside the editorials
Of the ghetto queens
kings stories true
Who possesses the testicular fortitude
To blow away myths
that’s a hindrance to all of you
You blame your own shortcomings
on section race
The mafia homosexuals
and all the Jews
It’s hogwash point of views
stereotypical
Anti Semitic like the foul words
Gibson spewed
And it’s pathetic
I don’t get the credit I deserve
That’s why I hate doing interviews
But I don’t sweat it
study long study raw
My man Deon said
Nas over think the songs he writing
I’m not a wack performer standing
behind a corny hype man
I got the Donism
I’m here to enlighten
You love to hear the story
how it all got started
How it all got started yeah
You love to hear the story
how it all got started
How it how all got started
