Masta Ace - Nana lyrics

[Verse 1: Masta Ace] Good morning nana, what's for breakfast? Orange juice, scrambled eggs and some jelly bread An Oscar Mayer bacon, that's a king's meal At least compared to my friends that are really fed You really know how to k** it with a black sk**et Energized by your love and these cats feel it Not to be rude but my dude want a plate of food You never exclude, that puts you in a greater mood To give one of my dudes a little something to eat So they stomach won't growl when they up in the street The sounds of a bear, but this time a year It's kind of cold so we home and we upping the heat Project radiator hissing like a rattle snake I'm in the front room playing my favorite battle tape You in the back room watching Barbany Jones These white folks living good and we trying to be clones The ones you work for out in Bensonhurst After Howard Beach, now the tension is worse Watching over they kids while they earn a wage Making 'em lunch, reading 'em books, now turn the page I was only 10, I was younger then Guess it must have been hard for me to understand it House keys hanging on a string from my neck Had to let myself in, make myself a sandwich, damn [Hook: Deion] Beginning and the end of me, before I can even see The man that I wanted to be, is what you came to know You taking every step with me, taught me to take the lead That's why you trusting me, you gone get what you owe We played in the spring and summer time, learned lessons in the fall The world is winter, but you was never cold More than a doer than a talker, but I still live by your words One day it'll all register, you never get too old We grow, things change, but you will never go [Verse 2: Masta Ace] Happy Thanksgiving, sweet potato pies They was try'na ketchup on it like a plate of fries Come in dude for the recipe Uncle Marvin on the couch watching the game next to me Talking smack, messing with me like an evil twin It's the Playoffs and we just try to see who's in Dallas bout to do it yet again Number 31 breaks a long run and the Eagles win Thank God, dinner's ready, this stuff is terrific Family eats, family talks but nothing specific No religion, no politics Pudgy lemon at the table doing a couple politrics I'm a teen now, the streets are mean now High praise for the waste, you cook and clean wow Let it be known you get paid but you're not a maid Nana's here, family's home and I'm not afraid, nah [Hook: Deion] Beginning and the end of me, before I can even see The man that I wanted to be, is what you came to know You taking every step with me, taught me to take the lead That's why you trusting me, you gone get what you owe We played in the spring and summer time, learned lessons in the fall The world is winter, but you was never cold More than a doer than a talker, but I still live by your words One day it'll all register, you never get too old We grow, things change, but you will never go [Outro: Nana & Duval] — Boy, what you doing up this late? I know you excited about graduating tomorrow — I don't know, I'm just up, thinking about everything — This radio show I like is about to come on — Radio show? What kind of radio show on at 2 o'clock in the morning? — They call it the World's Famous Supreme Team show and it's about that time
