QueensBridge Politics - Nas

Talking to this cutie on FaceTime

Trying to figure out if she gon' give me that face time

I don’t wanna tour, I wanna chill with my son more

Teach him about Egypt and tranquility

Critically analyze black lives and respectability

Why Prodigy mural get vandalized?

Why Prodigy?

The project politics obviously

Demagogue democracy, in the fog I see the Mobb represented into the light

Back to the source where all energy comes

Your enemy, dunn, was internal

A disease that needs a vaccination

Plagues black seeds

The industry ain’t as friendly as it first seems

When you dream of drivin' your whip to ya house in Florida Keys

On behalf of me and Queens and all of the Gs

Bandana P will always stand as tall as the trees

First things first, this should be understood

Queensbridge, just ain’t any other hood

It’s music, legacy is incredibly high pedigree

I don’t mean this disrespectfully alphabetically

If it’s hard to swallow and the credits of B street singing this Bernard Fowler

He sang with the Rolling Stones, background for Bootsy Collins

Marley Marl’s advanced raps sound perfect timing

The early '80s, we babies, Pebblee Poo dropped

The beat was crazy and Marley was changing hip-hop

Then Marley and Shanté caught a body, UTFO

She cold, «Roxanne's Revenge», she was 14 years old

Then came the Juice Crew and the who’s whos

G Rap, Rakim and Kane, beats made in the Q-U

I was probably playing with .32s in the lobby

It’s Queensbridge over everything and everybody

I wish the 'book never came out

And everything got straightened out

Before you left, I saw you, it was all love

Except we needed to build more and get things correct

Now I gotta accept it, 'cause there’s honor in death

Wish you was here with us P

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Shout out to Havoc, shout out to 'Pone

Shout out to Jungle

Shout out to Jeff

Shout out to Big Lord

The big dog (Lord)

Free Bar, Spark (Bar, Spark)

It’s a lot going on

Free the kings

It’s a lot going on man, it’s heavy

Goodfellas man

Prodigy man

It’s heavy man

We need to lighten it up

To all y’all, my bros
