[00:53.02] And of course I've been the boss since back when
[00:55.20] Rocking D Boy, Fila, velour in a 190 black Benz
[00:58.22] Now they shut down the stores that I'm shopping
[01:00.23] Used to be train robbing, face covered in stocking

[01:26.29] Silverback ape, nickel-plated mag
[01:28.55] Young, rich and flashy, young bitch, I'm nasty
[01:30.68] All black clothes 'til ice lay on me so classy
[01:33.80] And every time I close my lids
[01:35.66] I can still see the borough, I can still see the Bridge
[01:38.34] I can still see the dreams that my ain't never lived to see
[01:40.84] Tell them angels opened the door for me
[01:42.94] From nine Berettas and moving raw
[01:45.04] To chilling in wine cellars, sticks and humidors
[01:47.39] That's what I call mature, that's what I call a G
[01:49.65] That's what I call a pimp, that's what I call a gangsta to the fullest
[01:54.42] I'm tryin' to make more cream
[01:55.68] By every September 14th, that's my dream
[01:57.93] So I can be more clean as I grow yearly
[02:00.92] I can see things more clearly, that's why they fear me
[02:03.25] Let's go!
[02:04.26] Chain gleaming, switching lanes, two-seating
[02:05.97] Hate him or love him for the same reason
[02:08.89] Can't leave it, the game needs him
[02:10.78] Plus the people need someone to believe in
[02:14.22] So in God's Son we trust

[02:28.26] First L.A. and was riding wit it
[02:30.53] But Newsweek article startled big wigs
[02:32.56] They said, "Nas, why's you trying it?
[02:33.72] My lawyers only see the Billboard charts as winning
[02:36.05] Forgetting Nas the only true rebel since the beginning
[02:38.85] Still in musical prison, in jail for the flow
[02:41.39] Try telling Bob Dylan, Bruce or Billy Joel
[02:43.28] They can't sing what's in they soul!
[02:44.87] So "Untitled" it is
[02:46.37] I never changed nothin', but people remember this
[02:48.87] If Nas can't say it, think about these talented kids
[02:51.33] With new ideas being told what they can and can't spit
[02:53.61] I can't sit and watch it,, I'ma drop it
[02:56.26] Like it or not, you ain't gotta cop it
