Nas - High lyrics

[Talking: Nas] The wild Gremlins Ya'll know the F. right? [Verse 1: Nas] When the winner lose... and the losers win Nobody scores just a few good men But everybody sins A lot of young die Fall in the trap, strung high Try to go legal, but the hood calling you back Flipping the crack, cause I miss it for example Watching base-heads wildin' on my first sample I elevated up, since snakes in my circumference Now I hit my n***as with cakes and say, "Pump This" Thank god for cracks, corners, and marijuana Hoodrats and good gats to carry on ya I got dead friends, misled friends, crackhead friends Wild Gremlins, who "bust led" friends Silent weapons for quiet wars Or loud gats Tussle too long, some shiny moves the crowd back It's powerful, n***as would die over respect And money is secondary to that whole aspect [Hook: Nas] I Love it, when I'm... High I'm at my Best, when I'm... Hiiigh I like my s**, when I'm... Hii-iiigh Cash, Tecs... Flash Tecs, when I ride through ya projects And clap at sets, a n***a... High North, South, East, West, riders get... Hiiigh I take ya'll n***as on a lyrical... Hii-iiigh I twist it up, Listen up to the real sh**, feel this, REALNESS! [Nas:] n***as rushing to the top, not knowing what it takes to be... King Of The Industry, the wise move patiently Ya n***as is hating me, won't be happy till I'm back witcha... Selling crack witcha, half & half on a pack witcha My pen and pad, paint a black picture... Of young goons pa**ing liquor, after-hour store ma** of n***as Street corner combos, stagger and Wan knows... Tahoes coming through, blasting songs I know n***as scheme, girls pregnant by sixteen Clique out to get rich... Empty clips for cream Same funeral home, for different stiff bodies Once I'm up a new family goes there, it don't surprise me Cry to the tears, dried up inside me Revenge to the end, laws in NYC Got up by the way I used to be... Apartment 5D... where dope fiends in the hall try your knob when you sleep Surveillance Cameras in my house now, watching you creep Spot you from deep, guns for all possible beef n***as try to rock you asleep Kidnap your whole fam for a week Asking for ransom, n***as starving, dieing to eat [Hook: Nas] I Love it, when I'm... High I'm at my Best, when I'm... Hiiigh Yo... I like my s**, when I'm... Hii-iiigh Cash, Tecs... Flash Tecs, when I ride through ya projects And clap at sets, a n***a... High North, South, East, West, riders get... Hiiigh I take ya'll n***as on a lyrical... Hii-iiigh I twist it up, Listen up to the real sh**, feel this, REALNESS!
