"Cause when I flow the for

The street " - " who else could it be"

"Nas "

Yo

Explode my thoughts were

Drunken from quarts of beers

Was years back before Nasir

Would explore a career in rap

As a music dude

I mastered this Rubik's Cube

Godzilla fought Gargantua

Eyes glued to the tube

Was a long time ago John Boy Ice

Geronimo po-lice jumpin out Chryslers

Easywider paper

Pops puffin his sess

Punchin his chest like a gorilla

Outside was psychoes killers

Saw Divine Goon and Chungo

Lil' Turkey

R I P Tyrone 'member

No cursin front of Ms Vercey

Big Percy Crazy Paul the Sledge Sisters

My building was 40-16

Once in the blue hallways was clean

I knew all that I'd seen had meant somethin

Learned early to fear

None little Nas was huntin

Livin carefree laughin

Got jokes on the daily

Y'all actin like some

Old folks y'all don't hear me

Yo I'm in my second childhood

"Cause when I flow the fo

The street " - " who else could it be"

"N-A-S" - "Nas "

"Resurrect through the birth of

My seed " - "Queensbridge"

"Make everything right " - "Get yours ni**a"

Yo dude is 31 livin in his moms crib

Ex-convict was paroled

There after his long bid

Cornrows in his hair still slingin got a crew

They break his moms furniture

Watchin Comicview

Got babies by different ladies

High smokin L's

In the same spot he stood since

Eighty-five well

When his stash slow he be crazy

Say he by his moms

Hit her on her payday

Junior high school dropout

Teachers never cared

They was paid just to show up

And leave no one succeeds

So he moves with his peers

Different blocks different years

Sittin on different benches

Like it's musical chairs

All his peoples moved on in life

He's on the corners at night

With young dudes it's them

He wanna be like

It's sad but it's fun to him right

He never grew up

31 and can't give his youth

He's in his second childhood

Baby girl she's always talkin

Name droppin hangin late

Drinkin smokin hates

Her baby daddy craves shoppin

E poppin e*****y takin

Won't finish her education

Best friend she keeps changin

Stuck with limitations

Lustin men many hotels Fendi Chanel

With nothin in her bank

Account frontin she do well

Her kid suffers he don't

Get that love he deserve

He the Sun she the Earth

Single mom even worse

No job never stay workin mad purty

Shorty they call her the brain surgeon

Time flyin she the same person

Never matures

All her friends married doin well

She's in the streets yakkety

Yakkin like she was 12

Honey is twenty-seven argues fights

Selfish in her own right polite

Guess she's in her second childhood
