Nas - Live!!! lyrics

[Hook] Let all the live n***as in Kick all the b**h-a** n***as out We came to rock and shock the house Turn it out and out and out [Verse 1/Sonsee] Ayo, the words can get intricate, vocabs in my temple But I'ma do this swift and simple, instrumentals is what I'm into For the money it's essential, and I've got to have it A verb addict, fanatical author with the verbals We hurt whoever try to defy these guys They fry in a sk**et, so all that sh** you say come on kid k** it You yapping, not selling that crap and irking me needing a back slapping You wouldn't know Crunch time if you was the Captain Guess what? It's here, and yeah we the core, the center It's time to get live once more, we back on this agenda And for ya'll hopeful n***as, tryin to be contenders It's a storm And we come down like goose coats in the winter [Hook] [Verse 2/Fredro Starr] Ain't no slackin' in my action, I put my back in Beatin' tracks in, official now cold smash and jaw tappin' (Yo, what happened) Nothin', just n***as busting caps when I was rappin' Cause n***as be packing pretty brand new pistols just for fashion Cause a fraction be acting, fronting, making Jacksons off of satin But there better be no procrastin with the axe when you're blastin' Cause when you're maxin and relaxin, that's when they start attacking' (so) Get the gats, forget the backs and like there's no compa**ion Keep your heat cause nowadays these streets is cold as the Alaskan Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, Manhattan, Staten steady stacking [Hook] [Verse 3/Sticky Fingaz] Give me the shotty, let me liven up the party I like to start trouble, cause I'm a little rowdy And we just three emcees that like to fight Even when we start the sh** we always end it right So for all of y'all fronting is bad for your health Cause in the nine-fever Armee's going for self Kids is cruel for a cause and these f**ed up conditions that we all hate But f** it if this our fate Just listen up to what I say, cause n***as get shot daily, every day Even my man got k**ed now his family's mourning But from all the dirt he did, I know that hell is calling Went to his wake and sh** got held up By n***as with masks on they face, I couldn't escape, I was stuck They said "everybody in here up against the wall That dead n***a owed me money so I'm collecting from y'all" The people gave no struggle, five minutes went fast When I said I ain't giving y'all n***as sh**, I'ma just have to get blasted Representing with my life, a full fledged thief And I'm the truth; that's why we always have beef [Hook] And we do it like this, and we do it like that Rules and regulations, so watch ya back, and pack a gat Never fall asleep, keep ya heat in the streets Cuz goin out, iz what it's all about ONYX!!! LIVE!!! ONYX!!! LIVE!!! ONYX!!! LIVE!!!
