And as a special treat evening I have America's foremost young poet To read his poem for us
Ladies and gentlemen, Everybody, him Ladies and gentlemen, We, we, we a long way
Ladies and gentlemen, Everybody him and gentlemen, na-na-Nastradamus
Yo, yo, yo Power and crime, the thugs slingin' and dimes Twenties of D, is yo' wilder than mine? My niggaz bust nines, puff lye and stick up For they shine, you resist, then you push up
I'm like Lou Cabrasi, Vito's best That's Godfather shit, back seat, lit plans Revolvers spit, I'm too tough to with And you don't want the God to pull up the cars that's
Arms and wrists is lit up, Queensbridge Plaques applause when I do my thing is black as midnight, the concrete gray With of blood and germ and piss all day
on the ave, get sized up, plus appraised Duck and pray that my guns bust your way Niggaz with names, livin' off Sometimes gotta remind you ain't changin'
and gentlemen, na-na-Nastradamus Everybody, him
If you ill, come get me, 'cause I runnin' If your gun's off the hook then both be gunnin' Come get me if you real, 'cause I ain't all fair in love and war and I'm well prepared
If you ill, come get me, 'cause I runnin' If your gun's off the hook we'll both be gunnin' Come get me if you real, 'cause I scared It's all in love and we can take it there
You don't me clown? Now, you wanna take me down? If I bring my face around, you gon' do You butt Your crew knew I up, I been shinin', baseball diamonds Dick rings for your chick
Niggaz what my nine pearl handle's about Fuck you, say girlie mouth? Get it like the Dirty South And I you see me flossed out, multi mill i Hear your bitch talk about me, you give her the eye?
Girls dig you, imagine she feel for me? You make hot songs, but she you steal from me Who ill as me? I on haters in album three Next level, I take niggaz to 3-D
Can't a nigga shook from Queens I'll be with the most killers (What nigga?) And they all look Who put bombs underneath cars, if you beef then start Your stop is to the graveyard
If you ill, get me, 'cause I ain't runnin' If your gun's off the hook we'll both be gunnin' get me if you real, 'cause I ain't scared It's all fair in love and war and I'm well
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, 'cause I scared It's all fair in and we can take it there
You too to kill again, jail got you soft You talk but you scared to go up North Keep your face twisted, but you don't want nuttin' Talk a bunch of shit motherfucker and stop
You don't wanna flip again, and sell again Be on the run again, you at the Comfort Inn Shoot up your door, bust in on you and your Put in bags, clean the blood off of the floor
So play tough, I want y'all to get out of I got nines, color shape and design I sent killers every to put one in your spine Two in your ear, get your crew, who do I Nobody never get involved and of em dyin'
I think you do, roll with about two irons Catch me flyin', high in the winin' And dinin', you die, then we laugh, you ass You bitch ass to gauze up, stab wounds
While I'm head, in a Lear jet, bathroom all my goons, all my ice, and suitcases Full of paper, not it's bank statements The Illmatic that how we rock Yachts and co-ops, we buy the hood and sell you a
If you ill, come get me, 'cause I ain't If your gun's off the then we'll both be gunnin' get me if you real, 'cause I ain't scared It's all in love and war and I'm well prepared
If you ill, come get me, I ain't runnin' If your gun's off the 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
Ladies and gentlemen, Everybody, him and gentlemen, na-na-Nastradamus We, we, we a long way and gentlemen, na-na-Nastradamus Everybody him and gentlemen, na-na-Nastradamus Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and
