 37038>(Check that shit)
 
 Aight fuck that shit, word word
 
 Fuck that other shit, youknowhatI'msayin?
 
 We gon' do a little somethin like this, yaknahmsayin?
 
 (Is they up on this?)
 
 Keep it on and on and on and on and..
 
 KnowhatI'msayin? Big Nas, Grand Wizard, God what it is?
 
 (What it is like?) Hah, knowhatI'msayin?
 
 Yo go 'head, do that shit nigga
 
 
 
 [Nas]
 
 I rap for listeners, blunt heads, fly ladies and prisoners
 
 Henessey holders and old school niggaz, then I be dissin a
 
 unofficial that smoke woolie thai
 
 I dropped out of Kooley High, gassed up by a cokehead cutie pie
 
 Jungle survivor, fuck who's the liver
 
 My man put the battery in my back, a differencem from Energizer
 
 Sentence begins indented.. with formality
 
 My duration's infinite, moneywise or physiology
 
 Poetry, that's a part of me, retardedly bop
 
 I drop the ancient manifested hip-hop, straight off the block
 
 I reminisce on park jams, my man was shot for his sheep coat
 
 Childhood lesson make me see him drop in my weed smoke
 
 It's real, grew up in trife life, did times or white lines
 
 The hype vice, murderous nighttimes, and knife fights invite crimes
 
 Chill on the block with Cog-nac, hold strap
 
 with my peeps that's into drug money, market into rap
 
 No sign of the beast in the blue Chrysler, I guess that means peace
 
 For niggaz no sheisty vice to just snipe ya
 
 Start off the dice-rollin mats for craps to cee-lo
 
 With sidebets, I roll a deuce, nothin below (Peace God!)
 
 Peace God -- now the shit is explained
 
 I'm takin niggaz on a trip straight through memory lane
 
 It's like that y'all .. it's like that y'all .. it's like that y'all
 
 
 
 Chorus: repeat scratches 4X
 
 
 
 "Now let me take a trip down memory lane" -] BizMarkie
 
 "Comin outta Queensbridge"
 
 
 
 [Nas]
 
 One for the money
 
 Two for pussy and foreign cars
 
 Three for Alize niggaz deceased or behind bars
 
 I rap divine Gods check the prognosis, is it real or showbiz?
 
 My window faces shootouts, drug overdoses
 
 Live amongst no roses, only the drama, for real
 
 A nickel-plate is my fate, my medicine is the ganja
 
 Here's my basis, my razor embraces, many faces
 
 Your telephone blowin, black stitches or fat shoelaces
 
 Peoples are petrol, dramatic automatic fo'-fo' I let blow
 
 and back down po-po when I'm vexed so
 
 my pen taps the paper then my brain's blank
 
 I see dark streets, hustlin brothers who keep the same rank
 
 Pumpin for somethin, some will prosper, some fail
 
 Judges hangin niggaz, uncorrect bails, for direct sales
 
 My intellect prevails from a hangin cross with nails
 
 I reinforce the frail, with lyrics that's real
 
 Word to Christ, a disciple of streets, trifle on beats
 
 I decifer prophecies through a mic and say peace.
 
 I hung around the older crews while they sling smack to dingbats
 
 They spoke of Fat Cat, that nigga's name made bell rings, black
 
 Some fiends scream, about Supreme Team, a Jamaica Queens thing
 
 Uptown was Alpo, son, heard he was kingpin, yo
 
 Fuck 'rap is real', watch the herbs stand still
 
 Never talkin to snakes cause the words of man kill
 
 True in the game, as long as blood is blue in my veins
 
 I pour my Heineken brew to my deceased crew on memory lane
 
 
 
 Chorus
 
 
 
 "Comin outta Queensbridge" -] scratched
 
 
 
 The most dangerous MC is..
 
 "Comin outta Queensbridge" -] scratched
 
 
 
 The most dangerous MC is..
 
 "Comin outta Queensbridge" -] scratched
 
 
 
 The most dangerous MC is..
 
 "Comin outta Queensbridge" -] scratched
 
 
 
 The most dangerous MC is..
 
 Me numba won, and you know where me from
