Verse One: Nas



Check It Out

When I'm Chillin, I Grab The Buddha, Get My Crew To Buy Beers

And Watch A Flick, Illin And Root For The Villian, Huh

Plus Every Morning, I Go Out And Love It Sort Of Chilly

Then I Send A Shorty From My Block To The Store For Phillies

After Being Blessed By The Herb's Essence

I'm Back To My Rest, Ten Minutes Some Odd Seconds

That's Where I Got The Honey At, Spends The Night For Sexing

Cheap Lubrication, Lifestyle Protection

Picking Up My Stereo's Remote Control Quickly

Ron G's In The Cassette Deck, Rockin The Shit, G

I Try To Stay Mellow, Rock, Well Acapella Rhymes'll

Make Me Richer Than A Slipper Made Cinderella Fella

Go Get Your Crew, Hobbes, I'm Prepared To Bomb Troops

Got Niggaz Who's Born, I Shot My Way Out My Mom Dukes

When I Was Ten, I Was A Hip-hoppin Shorty Wop

Known For Rocking Microphones And Twisting Off A 40 Top, Yeah

Niggaz Catching 3 To 9's, Muslims Yelling Free The Mind
