explode, my thoughts were drunken from quarts of beers
before Nasir would explore a career in rap
I mastered this Rubik's Cube
Godzilla, fought Gargantua,
Geronimo po- lice jumpin out
Chryslers, easywiderpaper
punchin his chest like a gorilla
Outside was psychoes, killers
Saw Divine, Goon and Chungo,
'member no cursin front of Ms. Vercey
Big Percy, Crazy Paul, the Sledge Sisters
My building was 40- 16, once in the blue,
I knew, all that I'd seen had
to fear none little Nas was huntin
Livin carefree laughin, got jokes on the daily
Y'all actin like some old folks
Yo I'm in my second childhood
"Cause when I flow the for the street."
- ". who else could it be"
"Resurrect, through the birth of my seed."
"Make everything right." - "Get yours,
"Cause when I flow the for the street."
Yo, dude is 31, livin in his moms crib
Ex- convict, was paroled there after
still slingin, got a crew
They break his moms furniture,
Got babies by different ladies
In the same spot he stood since,
When his stash slow, he be crazy
Junior high school dropout, teach
They was paid just to show up and leave,
So he moves with his peers,
different blocks, different years
Sittin on, different benches
All his peoples moved on in life,
he's on the corners at night
With young dudes it's them
It's sad but it's fun to him
31 and can't give his youth up,
he's in his second childhood
"Cause when I flow the for the street."
- ". who else could it be"
"Resurrect, through the birth of my
"Make everything right." - "Get yours,
"Cause when I flow the for the street."
Baby girl she's always talkin
Drinkin smokin hates her baby daddy,
won't finish her education
Best friend she keeps changin,
With nothin in her bank ac
count frontin she do well
He the Sun, she the Earth,
No job never stay workin, mad purty
Shorty they call her the brain surgeon
Time flyin she the same person,
All her friends married doin well
yakkety yakkin like she was 12
Selfish in her own right for life,
guess she's in her second childhood
"Cause when I flow the for the street."
- ". who else could it be"
"Resurrect, through the birth of my seed."
"Make everything right." - "Get yours,
"Cause when I flow the for the street."
