Luyện nghe bài hát Bridging The Gap

The light is there, yeah
See I come Mississippi
I was young and runnin'
Ended up in New York City, I had my first child
I the boy Nasir, all the boys call him Nas
I told him as a youngster, he'll be the greatest man

go, hey hey hey hey
Tribrary of rap skits, styles I mastered
Many snatched it up and tried to match it
But I'm still one, everyday real
Speak what I want, I don't care what feel
I'm my own master
My Pop told me, "Be own boss keep integrity at every cost"
And his home was Natchez
Did it like and Dizzy, now we gettin' busy

The Gap from the blues, to jazz, to rap
The history of music on this
Born in the game, discovered my father's
Like Prince through boxes of Purple Rain
But my Minneapolis was The Bridge, home of the
Some are well-known, some doin'
I mighta up on the wrong side of the tracks
If Pops wouldn't've me back an said yo

See I come from
I was young and wild
Ended up in New York City, I had my first child
I the boy Nasir, all the boys call him Nas
I told him as a youngster, be the greatest man alive
man alive, gre-gre-gre-gre-greatest man alive

The blues from gospel, gospel from blues
Slaves are them ah's and ooh's
Old school, new school, know school
All these years I voicin' my blues
I'm a artist the start, hip-hop guided my heart
Graffiti on the wall, coulda ended in Spoffard, delinquent
But Pops me the right type'a tools to think with

Books to read, X and stuff
'Cause the schools said the kids had
In art class I was a compulsive of
Teachers in my homeroom, I pix to mess them up
'Cause none'a them would my style
Read more books than the curriculum
Said, "Mr. Jones please get your child
'Cause he's mad poems and his verses are wild"

I was in Mississippi
I was young and runnin'
Moved to New York City, where I had my first
I the boy Nasir, all the boys call him Nas
I told him as a youngster, be the greatest man alive
Greatest man, the man alive

Hey hey hey, my Poppa was not a Rollin'
He around the world blowin' his horn, still he came home
Then he got grown, changed his to Olu
Come on, tell 'em 'bout all the you gone to

I been to Saudi Arabia,
Madagascar, Paris,
The Africa is where we lived
known as Queenbridge

Nas, Nas you stop
Olu Dara in the house, you stop
Muddy Waters' Wolf you don't stop
the Blues to Street Hop you don't stop
'em Pop

See I come from
I was young and runnin'
Ended up in New York City, I had my first child
I the boy Nasir, all the boys call him Nas
I told him as a youngster, be the greatest man alive
Greatest man alive, gre-gre-gre-gre-greatest man
Rest in Ray Charles
