Tat on my ribs like I do not know what permanent is Hermès link, ice blue mink They want me gone, wait for the kicker Bury me now and I only get bigger, that's word to my nigga Yeah, October Firm in the cut Stay at the top like I'm stuck, that's just how

Hey Lordy mama Tell me what you gonna do now What you gonna do Tell me what you gonna do I heard you wasn't feeling' good They're spreadin' dirty rumors All around the neighborhood They say you're mean and evil

Watch dem niggas that be close to you And make sure they do what they supposed to do Cause you know they be thinking about smoking you Never personal, nowadays, it's the ways They never realized, how real Nas, is so decisive It's just the likeness, of

Hey, you and me will be always Now, see, your clothes your shoes and your best friends They ain't gonna stay the same Your reckless years and your mistakes I promise you, they fade away But trust me, the one thing that nothing in this world can change

Hey, hey, hey, hey Don't say you will You will, you will I pray you will Why would she make calls out the blue Now I'm awake sleep isn't new Unless you will Then play you will i pray you will

Oh you're gonna miss me baby And I'll be so far away Oh your friend will always tell you baby They'll say that you're going strong You know you better change now baby Baby there's always another day Well they'll smile and call you lover Fool, don't you

Better find this all And I found out where it's all at And I want it all Forgot it all Crafty friends where'd they all go Try and find but no one ever knows You fall down makes you want to stay Who the hell would want to anyway Well I'm leaving

I see my light come shining From the west down to the east Any day now, any day now I shall be released They say everything can be replaced They say every distance is not near So I remember every face Of every man who put me here They say every man needs

City of stars Are you shining just for me? There's so much that I can't see I felt it from the first embrace I shared with you That now our dreams They've finally come true Just one thing everybody wants There in the bars

Ain't no going back now This is the line and I walk alone Know where I wanna be, but I'm far from home Just trying to make it on my own And unless they send me clothes, I don't answer phones This is the line, and I walk alone Don't know where I'm at now
