Nas - Self Conscience lyrics

[Prodigy] Yo.. Is it ill, do it need to be fixed? (That sh** is real Dunn; and stop talkin like your sk**s don't k**) Nah it's just that sometimes I feel like that I can write more fouler than the last [Prodigy's "Conscience"] Yo that sh** is cash trust me Dunn; I'll never lead you astray Take my word n***as wanna hear how you think It be that sh** that you wouldn't expect to win That stay playin in they decks over and again Speak your thoughts, put your all in it Whatever's in your mind, spit it Place your anger on the page, release tension on the tape A stress verse, seem to be what they most thirst Makes fake n***as disperse, they never challenge what works [Prodigy] Balancin the weakness, is what I specialize in Dunn you my n***a cause you keep me hype when I'm writin Kept me on point in the night when it might go down Keep me eyes wide in the daytime as well Kept me focused on what's real and nuttin else I find it healthy, to conversate with myself I kick it with my delf (I kept you alive, all these years) It's that inner voice you shoulda took heed to and sh** Coulda been home instead of bleedin Maybe next time you'll listen when it speaks [Prodigy's "Conscience"] Yo Dunn, I got a story to tell Remember last week's mission? I told you bring the gun (Yeah I remember) Nah listen, without me you'd be a memory I'm the one you could come to for guidance Bring you home alive when you wildin Kept you out of harm's way, told you when to spray Told you when it's time to put it away And when the cops came, you was safe [Prodigy] Without question, I stay aware Dunn I'm listenin Everytime we speak it's real, I know your intention's To make sure we both safe and livin, and breathin You gets all respect from me Dunn, believe it [Prodigy's "Conscience"] Yo we got kids to raise and bills to pay Enemies to lay down when they stand in our way, it's only us (What about the clique?) Now if you die is they comin? When you shot do they feel the bullet? And when you broke can they fix it? Aight then, you keep writin And let me do the thinkin, I brought us this far without mistaken [Nas] Voices in my head from choices that I dreaded choosin Cautions I shoulda took heed, lost in my weed, steady losin Thug stripes, badges of honor, forces to succeed who*es on they knees, f**in with millionaires, k**ers and thieves I f** until there's no feelin where, I bust and I pee I lusted cars but I suffered and my scars run deep I stay to myself, one deep, pray to my God cause he Say when it's hard get on one knee, and ask Thy for forgiveness f** the cash, the ice, the Ferrari's With two-twenty on the dash when your life ain't right See n***as smile up in your face and stick a knife in your back Snakes shake your hand and got his dick up in your wife back Why's it like that? It's life black, this is the game The way I see it both b**hes and n***as, is the same I trust myself, I can't f** myself When hoes leave and no weed I still know me, just myself Fear is weakness learn from what experience teaches Beware of leeches, the vampires, my secret's Never follow, cause most n***as is straight up cowards Take care of my body's the temple, my mind is the power
