[nas] gansta yo
[puffy] thatand's right
[nas] journey through the life of some real niggas
[puffy] some real niggas, youand'll never see what iand've seen
[puffy]
when i sleep i dream of bodies in streams of blood
naked bitches, dead niggaand's ghost, feds with toast
knockinand' my door down sweat poor down my body
roast from the heat so i soak my sheets
wake up shiverinand', pull my hoe close to me, she sexy
every night is different pussy since my girl left me
and i tried to make her stay with me, but i stay busy
and her friends are cut-throats, they deep throat to lay with me
i reminisce how i miss a stare in this space
resort to the lips of a stripper, sprayinand' their face
lampinand' in a mansion, home alone
i hear footsteps, shit i kicks just not lyrics
i hold a fifth, wonderinand' if ten shots can stop spirits
if niggaand's try to rob me then i wonand't hear it
cause itand's different from the streets, iand'm missinand' my hood now
missinand' all the blocks cuz iand'm surrounded by woods now
itand's supposed to be good now
itand's like iand'm walkinand' tight rope and canand't look down
fire below me
now the fantasies i have for women are unholy
success, thousand dollar bottles impress
models with fat ass and big breasts
floor seats, knicks vs. nets, private jets
millionaire heir to antigua, with ananda, the mtv diva
nas, how do we survive all this mess? (i didnand't survive)
east vs. west the rap game where words became flesh
a whole pound of herb wonand't desolve my stress
still i ride to the death, love hip-hop
cause afrikabababa was def, a lot of respect
feel me? fuck to the rock sean john jury
i got the same hands of crap platinum and the crap pyramids
write about the black experience, sell it to marimax
tell me if you feelinand' that

take a journey through the life of these real niggas
the things that they seen it would thrill niggas
if youand've seen what theyand've seen, you would wonder
through the rain and the pain and the thunder
by the time that you realized that itand's goinand' down
you may find yourself going underground
when they see that this life is upon us
we would see that thereand's no one that we can trust
[beanie sigel]
you can never see what i see, motherfucker
beanie sigel, the realest nigga from the streets was taught
stay cased up nigga, stay deep in court
reminiscinand' on that cold cell, deep in thought
gettinand' skinny, couldnand't eat, cause the meat was poor
yaand'll niggas couldnand't live my life, iand've been through it
streached up in hospital beds, fed fluid
two bullets hit my leg, one passed through it
saw the blood and the hole in my calf, looked through it
my lifeand's no joke, i donand' played dice with soap
upstate the case niggas slice your throat
wear your boxers in the shower when you gaurd your soap
i done seen the biggest niggaand's in the yard get broke
i done took blocks through war, took blocks for fall
took blocks to wall for box of raw
what you think 33 in the glock is for?
black fatigues, skullies and binoculars,
c4, block your doors, niggaand's canand't stop this war
i show you faggots what this swatzand' is for
hidding spots in the door for the glocks is for
read the papers, and'94 i took the cops to war
half of yaand'll niggas livinand' a lie
only reason you switchinand' up your droid is cause you keep gettinand' robbed
i looked that nigga in the eyes before i send him to god
beanie sigel, desert eagle, the realest nigga alive

[nas]
aiyo, aiyo, gansta, gansta
the bible has words that christ wrote, evil men sacrifice goats
i speak all my life under oath
since a kid, troublesome
throwninand' shit at little girls jump ropes
bustinand' b-b guns at stray cats, that was way back
watched it die, covered in flies
then i picked up a stick, try to dig in itand's eyes
makinand' dirt pies, na, being buggy-eyed shit
and every other nigga that rap, sound like my shit
i wear chrome 45and's with ice on the grip
i donand't shoot it, i roll with killers and criminals
with heroin habits they picked up from the penile
they let you have it, all i do is give them a smile
lifestlyes of the realest, you ainand't ruthless you bitch
i got a pine box just your size, i know itand'll fit
your whole lifeand's a mistake, stop holdinand' the pen
kill yourself, come back as a man over again
cause in this lifetime iand'm reigninand', slay men
leave your whole body cold
your nails grow long, you get gray skin
may this nigga rest in peace, amen
i run with brave men, straight out the housinand', we wildinand'
names engraved in the pavement
brick building, grown ladies jump off the roof
nigga get paged, then murdered at the phonebooth
new york streets made me nigga, itand's crazy nigga
