When I flow for the street, who else could it be?
N-A-S, Nas
Resurrect through the birth of my seed
Queensbridge, make everything right
Get yours
Is it time to take off the scully, the Timbs, and the fitted caps?
Time to let go of the weed, can't let the jeans sag?
Ozzy Osbourne still got his fingernails black
Rock 'n rollers is still rebels, any age that they at
But with rap, it's a time limit? Never
I'm living proof
I'm the truth till if I live till 102
When I was young, I knew nothing, but then here comes a new lesson
From an older gentleman, dressed in Dior, he flexing
He said it's not how old you are, it's how you feel
Look here, I'm in my Air Max '87 still
Rastas still smokin', secluded out in the bush
Pimps still wearing their derbies, people still dipping snuff
That's how we stay true, ways we learned in the days of our youth
Seen a man like eighty-two, he rocked his hat ace deuce
I'm going out hood, different from being a third childhood
Switched it up a little, but still, I'm going out hood
When I flow for the street, who else could it be?
N-A-S, Nas
Resurrect through the birth of my seed
Queensbridge, make everything right
Get yours, nigga
When I flow for the street, who else could it be?
N-A-S, Nas
Resurrect through the birth of my seed
Queensbridge, make everything right
Get yours
Hear me out now, back in the days, it sure was a time
Hear me out, if I've been your age and you haven't been mine
As we get older and time great turns into mediocre
Good turns into so-so, bad just means that it could be better
I wrote a letter to the judge for Prince
A sharp-minded man who thought his way about the pens
Corporations are not the genius that created gangsta rap
Never give them credit for that, we made it that
I assisted Hip-Hop 50 to that worldly stage
And brought Kool Herc on stage
Universal Hip-Hop Museum got paid
Matter of fact, anything my name is involved with
Positivity revolves in it
Serendipitous, always move with confidence
You may not see me sweat, but trust, yo, I work hard for this
Grew up around heroin addicts before that crack shit
Crack was light compared to what the smack did
Y'all played with marbles
We played with dope fiend needles we found
Injected worms when the rain brought 'em up from the ground
It's nothin' changing
Some of my men, we go back like daylight savings
My third childhood, that third course, that's the main dish
Hope we get dessert, that's the cherry on top
Peaceful Sundays, but we still carry the Glocks registered
If you made it this far, then it's all good
It makes me proud, I love that we going out hood
When I flow for the street, who else could it be?
N-A-S, Nas
Resurrect through the birth of my seed
Queensbridge, make everything right
Get yours, nigga

Resurrect through the birth of my seed
Queensbridge, make everything right
Get yours
