Nas - Maybach Curtains lyrics

[Produced by The Agency and Infamous] [Hook: John Legend] Look how far we came Through the fire, I stood knowing we would reign Feels like yesterday when all this was a dream Through these Maybach curtains I see how life has changed [Intro: Meek Mill] I think I'mma dedicate this one To all the people that thought I wouldn't make it here Dreamchasers [Verse 1: Meek Mill] Yeah, it was all a dream On the corner servin' all them fiends Me and a bunch of my n***as, yeah, we was all a team The system labeled us k**as, but momma called us kings Walked through the hall of a prison, now it's the hall of fame And people got the nerve to ask why I wear all these chains When I was booked, they had me shackled to the wall of shame So I'm just representin', better yet just reminiscin' Put down on that Bentley truck, I used to want the Expedition Now it's bigger things, grew up and got bigger dreams Cause in my hood, n***as try to smoke you just like nicotine And this money sh** ain't funny, all the sh** it brings You bound to lose your family and your friends, boy this sh** is mean And birthdays was the worst days Last week I made a hundred on a Thursday And Club Liv got me sinnin' on a church day Stevie J all on the mic, he screamin' out my birthplace Philly, we back! [Hook] [Verse 2: Nas] I'm blunted - You wanna see life's meaning? On the radio, Al Green, while Mom's cleanin' Mom's singing along with the songs And shortly I learned the words to 'em Nerf balls, I threw 'em But now I'm a perfectionist to a fault like Jesus Judgin' his own miracles, but he won't cause he automatic I'm like an old blues singer living in the bottle Whose wife left him down in the bottom Writing songs is how we solvin' the problem My liquid money's a hypnotist to your Mrs Lay back like I'm in the chair of a dentist Nasir relentless, a freak like Prince is Mystique like Sade Soon as I enter people, point and see my anointment I ain't tryna do too much Same time, I ain't no bum n***a not doin' enough But I ain't tryna do no dumb sh**, chasin' my tail in a circle I made it so I'm chillin' now Transparent ceiling now [Hook] [Verse 3: Rick Ross] The chorus cinematic, going back to Cali Young street n***a, late 80's suede Bally's Jewels like Rick the Ruler, looking like I ripped the j**eler I could cut a check, make some people hit your shooter Domino effect, you in that magic city Where all they do is flex; call it Milli Vanilli Coming from the bottom, my lil' n***a from Philly Young legend outta Queens, take over city to city Honor thy mother, go to war for my brother Giving sufficient funds to significant others Went from poor now women screamin' for my signature More war came from the bottom so I know the war Never worn, always on, y'all n***as luke warm Talking cash over salads, heavy croûtons Cuban links equivalent to having suits on Stretch Maybachs 'til they bring the coupes on [Hook]
