Check, let there be light
No gang banging in new york tonight
Just murals of Biggie Smalls,
Turn up the kid mic 'cause ya'll
What's all this talk that nas
I'd rather outline my body
Ain't nobody been where I been,
This is all overseen by my man will
As I walk through the valley
I know that I ain't got much time left
And they don't really wanna
Ain't satisfied until they
(And I) I know my business,
(And I) I thank the hood for all
they did they best to hate
This ain't the glorified,
just painting the street picture
There's no god in sir bibles,
Gillettes cut pain in kitchen
Now every rapper wanna claim he hang
with kenneth "supreme" griffith
It's like the same difference cept
when niggaz get arraigned
They don't want the same sentence,
If I could reverse the monsters and turn
And bring back the niggaz who was livest
Old hustlers, reminscing on better days
They home, doing nothing,
might as well be in a cage
Hating on young brothers,
They used to love us till we found
our own way through the maze
New york, set trippin' and flaggin'
Got the west coast laughing,
What happened? My homegirl
She remembers the quarters that's latin,
alotta rat- a- tat- tatting
As I walk through the valley
I know that I ain't got much time left
And they don't really wanna
Ain't satisfied until they
(And I) I know my business,
(And I) I thank the hood for all
they did they best to hate
The son of the audio cassette era,
Bullets and baguettes, binzbo's speaker
Till man I get mine till I'm dead,
so I can drive sumpthin red
Since arnold and willis in
I wanted bread like wonder,
not manned- a- wanno like the parent of lionel
Nas is the ghetto american idol
No matter what you do you're never
They say I ain't hungry no more
and I don't talk about 'ye
Like there's no other way
Cake ya, the x- ray splitter to touch ya,
When you're four years into the game,
we can have a conversation
after I've enjoyed my fame
Only then I let ya pick my brain,
(And I) right about now (and I) (they don't
(And I) (they don't really see) I don't
even deal with all that garbage
(No, no, no) we getting real right,
(And I) (though I walk through the valley) that is tre
williams ladies and gentlemen
(And I) (they should fear
Focus on good things man, good times,
As I walk through the valley
I know that I ain't got much time left
And they don't really wanna
Ain't satisfied until they
(And I) I know my business,
(And I) I thank the hood for all
they did they best to hate
As I walk through the valley
I know that I ain't got much time left
And they don't really wanna
Ain't satisfied until they
(And I) I know my business,
(And I) I thank the hood for all
they did they best to hate
