YOU?RE DA MAN
Back to top
Verse 1
They plan was to knock me out the top of the game
But overstand
They truth is all lame
I hold cannons that shoot balls of flame
Right in their fat mouth then I carve my name
Nas... too real
Nas... true king
It's however you feel
Go head, you swing
Your arms too short to box with God
I don't kill soloists only kill squads
Fame went to they head
So now it's fucked Nas
Yesterday you begged for a deal
Today you tough guys
I seen it comin'
Soon as I popped my first bottle
I spotted my enemies tryin' to do what I do
Came in with my style
So I fathered you
I kept changing on the world since barbeque
Now you wanna hang with niggas I hung with
Fuck bitches I hit
It's funny I once said
If I ever make a record
I'll take a check and put something away for a rainy day to make my exit
But look atm e now
Ten years deep
Since the projects
Bentz for crack in my socks sleep
I never asked to be top of rap's elite
Just a ghetto child
Trying to learn the traps of the streets
But look at me now...
Chorus (repeats 10 x)
You're the man
Verse 2
But wait a sec
Give me time to explain
Women and fast cars and
Diamond rings can poison a rap star
With suicidal thoughts
High, smokin' so much lae
I saw a dead bird flying through a broken sky
Wish I could flap wings and fly away
To where black kings in Ghana stay
So I could get all my flesh right away
But that'll be the day
When there's peace
When my gat don't need to spray
When these streets are safe to play
Sex with death indulging these women
Vision my own skeleton swimming in eternal fire
Broads play with pentagrams in they vagina
Like the Exorcist
Then they gave birth to my seeds
I beg for God's help
Why they love hurting me
I'm your disciple a thug certainly
I'm the N, the A, to the S-I-R
If I wasn't I musta been Escobar
.45 in my waist
Starin' at my reflection in the mirror
Sittin' still in the chair like my conception
When everything around me got cloudy
The chair became a king's throne
My destiny found me
It was clear why the struggle was so painful
Metamorphosis - this is what I changed to
And God I'm so thankful...
Chorus - repeat until fade
