[intro: dj khaled]
cl*ssic sh*t, timeless, forever, iconic
dj khaled!
[verse 1: nas]
a divine leader
shine brighter, bonita mami meet a line sniffer
never, poetic rhyme writer, chiefer
ebony empress getter
celebrity apprentice a devil show
big up to africa, mexico
hennessy, margarita, venison eater
so dear spread ’em here, don’t be actin’ innocent either
dome me, relax me, it’s only to the nasty
i’m just a phony *ss*ssin
a lot of n*gg*s owe me, i’mma tax ’em
a lot of sisters hold me to somethin’ holy and catholic
cause the rosary and gold flashy
just an attachment and accessory to my dress code
now everywhere all i see is pablo, esco
last time i checked i was still breathin’
my neck was still freezin’, now everybody got an escobar season
to every baby on the alb*m cover existin’
this trend i was settin’ came to fruition
i’m *ssistin’ to push the culture forward
to all my go supporters, go support us
like a local black-owned grocery store
cause in the hood sh*t ain’t p*ssed down through blood
it’s a dub on that
we get government aid
spend it at their stores, sendin’ their kids through college
we need balance, so we can lease and own ds in our projects
so i’m askin’ gs to go in their pockets
the racial economic inequality, let’s try to solve it
[hook: nas]
my signature fade with the bevel blade
that’s a major key
i told her she smart and loyal, i like that
that’s a major key
start a label, run it, sign yourself
that’s a major key
what tony had on the table
it’s like us, we a major key
[verse 2: nas]
still underestimated, every mistake a lesson
mercury retrograde, so if that planet spin backwards up in the heavens maybe
it’s effectin’ back on n*gg*s who don’t be reppin’ lately
i’m playin’ chess with babies
n*gg*s is nursery
n*gg*s impersonatin’, rehearsin’ me
nothin’ like me, i’m the first of me and that’s quite certainly
so official, come get this issue, some women crazy
i like a woman to show me wisdom
these hoes easily convinced to pop their p*ssy with a loaded pistol
y’all ain’t meant to be played
says the brother with the signature fade
still paid, stackin’, new stash
went from hangin’ with shooters and clappers
to computer hackers
check the fashion and monocle
gettin’ [?] history [?]
khaled called me when i was an alb*m mode
so i put it on hold for the major key
my alb*m done, n*gg*s, wait and see
