[Verse 1: Nas] Born in NYC beastin', the lord left me no choice Christian pendants, Islamic thoughts, criminal courts Father forgive, I wanna die like Godfather did Standing in lineups I'm paying lawyers, ain't trying to bid Alliances surveillance watching 'em careful when plottin' My boys were captured on video, farewell to my partners Ski masks and fake tags in case the car was spotted Lavish hotels, Central Park West, fly apartments - let's rob it Forensics get us sentenced so we the smartest It's livest as Saturday night as I load up a cartridge Let off the fully, got alibis, no need to worry Done right, we don't see the prosecutors or grand jury Reputed mobster style, take the money and run Count it in warehouses, leave town and live 100 years like crocodiles Straight up NYC like a Mets fitted This a tower heist, even Donald Trump can get it [Hook x2: Nas] You want respect, money and power, right? Well let's ride tonight; it's a tower heist [Verse 2: Rick Ross] I got my shades on, got my money in my pocket Got my J's on, spend a hundred for my watch I feel amaz-on, it's a jungle in these streets Choppers be going "bang", your people need be deceased Everyday is war, living legends you must applaud So light my cigar, or for the foreigners living large Dealin' straight raw, the Mercedes in my garage Your girl on my dick and I may just feel like menage I came for the cash, me and Nas behind the mask Cause, b**h, it's a heist, give me ice or lose your life My profit's so nice me and dog gon' count it twice It's poppin' tonight, roll the weed, give me a light - UGH!
