And as a special treat evening I asked America's foremost young poet To read his poem for us
and gentlemen, na-na-Nastradamus Everybody, him Ladies and gentlemen, We, we, we came a way
and gentlemen, na-na-Nastradamus Everybody him Ladies and gentlemen,
Yo, yo, yo Power and crime, the thugs powder and dimes Twenties of D, is yo' wilder than mine? My niggaz bust nines, lye and stick up cowards For they shine, you resist, you push up flowers
I'm like Lou Cabrasi, Vito's hit-man That's Godfather shit, back seat, next lit spit, I'm too tough to bargain with And you don't want the God to pull up the that's sick
Arms and wrists is lit up, Kings Plaques awards applause I do my thing Streets is black as midnight, the gray With stains of blood and and piss all day
Come on the ave, get sized up, appraised Duck and pray that my don't bust your way Niggaz with names, livin' off Sometimes gotta you ain't nothin' changin'
and gentlemen, na-na-Nastradamus Everybody, him
If you ill, come get me, 'cause I runnin' If your off the hook then we'll both be gunnin' Come get me if you real, 'cause I scared all fair in love and war and I'm well prepared
If you ill, come get me, 'cause I ain't If gun's off the hook then we'll both be gunnin' Come get me if you real, 'cause I ain't It's all fair in love and we can take it
You don't like me Now, you wanna take me down? If I bring my face around, you gon' do You butt Your knew I blew up, I been shinin', baseball diamonds Dick rings for chick lings
know what my nine pearl handle's about Fuck you, say girlie mouth? Get it krunk the Dirty South And I you see me flossed out, multi mill i Hear bitch talk about me, you give her the cold eye?
Girls dig you, imagine what she for me? You hot songs, but she know you steal from me Who ill as me? I wild on in album three Next level, I take niggaz to 3-D
Can't a nigga shook from Queens I'll be with the grimy killers (What nigga?) And they all clean Who put bombs underneath cars, if you beef then start Your next stop is to the
If you ill, get me, 'cause I ain't runnin' If your gun's off the hook then we'll be gunnin' Come get me if you real, 'cause I ain't It's all in love and war and I'm well prepared
If you ill, come get me, I ain't runnin' If your off the hook then we'll both be gunnin' Come get me if you real, 'cause I ain't It's all fair in love and we can it there
You too to kill again, jail got you soft You talk but you scared to go back up Keep your face twisted, but you really want nuttin' Talk a bunch of shit and stop frontin'
You don't wanna again, and sell drugs again Be on the run again, catch you at the Inn Shoot up your door, in on you and your whore Put y'all in bags, clean the blood off of the
So play tough, I want to get out of line I got nines, every shape and design I killers every race to put one in your spine Two in ear, get your crew, who do I fear? Nobody get involved and none of em dyin'
I think like you do, with about two irons me flyin', high in the aircraft winin' And dinin', you die, we laugh, you bitch ass You ass to gauze up, your stab wounds
While I'm gettin' head, in a Lear jet, all my goons, all my ice, and suitcases Full of paper, not money bank statements The Illmatic that explains how we Yachts and co-ops, we buy the hood and you a block
If you ill, get me, 'cause I ain't runnin' If your gun's off the hook then both be gunnin' Come get me if you real, I ain't scared all fair in love and war and I'm well prepared
If you ill, come get me, 'cause I ain't If your gun's off the then we'll both be gunnin' Come get me if you real, I ain't scared It's all fair in love and we can it there
Ladies and gentlemen, Everybody, him and gentlemen, na-na-Nastradamus We, we, we came a way Ladies and gentlemen, Everybody him Ladies and gentlemen, Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and
