Uh you know I still run with that

That blood of a slave

Boiling in my veins

It's just hot until a ni**a

Can't take it no more

Blood of a slave Heart of a King

Turn my voice up

Ayo the brother is "Stillmatic"

I crawled up out of that grave

Wiping the dirt cleaning my shirt

They thought I'll make another "Illmatic"

But it's always forward I'm moving

Never backwards stupid here's another classic

C-Notes is falling from the sky

By now the credits roll starring

Nas executive poet produced

Directed by

The Kid slash Escobar

Narration describes the lives and

Laws tribes in the ghetto trying to survive

The feature opens with

This young black child

Finger scratch cigarette burns on the sofa

Turning the TV down

Mary Jane girls 45's playing

Soft in the background

Poof from C-Town's mornings was hash browns

Stepped over d**e fiends

Walking out the door all of us paw

I learned the difference between the snitches

The real ones and who's soft

And the murderous hungriest crews

People jumping from roofs

Shotguns pumping made it through my youth

Walking very thin lines ages seven and nine

That's the age I was on my album cover

This is the rebirth

I know the streets thirst water like Moses

Walking through the ho

T desert searching to be free

This is my end and my new beginning Nostalgia

Alpha and Omega places

It's like a glitch in the matrix

I seen it at all did it all most of

Y'all been pop for a minute

Spitters sinners and the game get rid of y'all

Y'all got there but y'all didn't get it all

I want my style back

Hate to cease y'all plan it's the rap repo-man

To them double up hustlers

Bidders niggas who real

Professionals stick up

Child's dreaming for meals

Let my words guide you get inside you

From Crips to Pirus this is survival

Blood of a Slave Heart of a King

Blood of a Slave Heart of a King

Uh uh Blood of a Slave Heart of a King

Uh yea

Huh Braveheart
