Nas - Nas Is Good lyrics

[Intro] Escobar season begins [Verse 1] Touch up the game like a photo edit Camera roll like Oscar Michaeux, they gotta roll the credits Like Rome came into Kemet and they stole the essence Before they watered it down and taught us bogus lessons Written in stone, write whatever in your history books Me and ancient Egyptian skin tone had similar looks On my trip out to Cairo, I felt home on arrival I swam in the Red Sea, took a boat on thе Nile It's in my blood to drive thesе cars and live this large Escobar cigars avoiding the prison bars, Nas I deserve the threads in my closet Big boy deposits, Nike shares and stock tips Catching up with those who had a head start Used to get eviction noticed that had a red mark The lights was out, that's why we sip dark Acting a fool at the pool in Queensbridge Park ni**as would not survive in my hood Pull up with all of my jewels on and Nas is good Nas is good My ni**a, Nas is good [Interlude] Ha, I love my hood so much, I go out in a blazing shootout See I can't go out there, I'd throw it all away, fu*k it Big shout out to DU, forever His brother Herb, R.I.P [Verse 2] Now y'all woke, I'm laughing at ni**as Y'all used to say "Nas talking that anti-establishment business" Look at my settlement cases, gave they asses some stitches Used to put bottles to faces, all we ask is forgiveness My past story full of sins, somehow I got a cleanse Back in 2010 Department of Justice wrote me looking for one of my friends I ain't know where he was at, didn't even have a hint And even if I did, a ni**a'll never snitch Cheat code, I walked into my greatness Freak hoes throw they pussy a party, okay then Raised by a queen, that's the only reason I made it King's Disease the reoccurrence, that sh*t reinstated [Outro] Death to the pessimistic mindstate Lack of hope low-spirit motherfu*kers Life to king's getting a king's ransom, living handsome, ha Yo Hit, we did it King's Disease II
