Nas f Bravehearts - I Am... (Cassette Tape Only) слова песни
[Nas]"What we need to be thinkin` about is the future! We don`t know what`s in store tomorrow! All we can do is just guess! We want the best for tomorrow; for our family, for our children, for our future but if we don`t get up andact like we want it, we gotta pray to somebody! We ain`t to tough to pray! You walkin` around like a gangsta, gangstas pray! Thugs pray! Tell me somethin`; if you ain`t prayin`, where would y`all be today? Where would y`all momma be today? How would you be here? Somebody prayin` for you, nigga!"[Horse]I never thought bein` a man you could hang in the endFacin` life with no parol and consecut` sentencin`Got people witnessin`, your co-defendent snitchin`,your back against the wall, your left eye is twitchin`Loyal ladies usual, a D-and A`s the mutualScared to face the light of a courtroom siteRacist cops on each side `cause the know I just mightmake a break for the door but I give it my allIf I die in this struggle, give my momma a call`cause she always left these jewels: what goes up must fallSince I fell dead broke, landed in jailRefused to face the facts, how wifey skipped to town with the bailI`m on my own now, V8, far away from home nowPalmer wealth state, the law changes each dateSecret inditements got me knocked, there ain`t no price I can payto get me the fuck up out this shit, so to Allah I prayfor forgiveness - Yes, I sinned and I need to be heldand jail ain`t no place a black man wanna be killedAmenI only pray when shit is fucked up!I only pray when my life is lookin` bad luck!I only pray when I`m in mothafuckin` handcuffs!Callin` out for someone, somewhere!Is there anybody out there?[Wiz]I look up at the sky, why do young niggas die?Felt the stray hit me, somebody stay with meFallin` to the ground with the sound of a four-pound near meBitches screamin`, wish I was dreamin`I fought a thousand gun fights, near one bullet skipped meon the morning run to get my little sisters Rice KrispiesPlayed the numbers knowin` that I got my lucky dice wit` meSee some niggas I know I can roll - Uh, uh!Get them bitches, left all of them broke, left what they smokeHoes yellin`, `Watch ya back!`But before I could turn around, before I could I react,blaow! Blaow! Blaow! Would you look at me now?Is this blood that I feel as I fell to the ground?Feel like a head shot but maybe just grazed my templeNiggas diggin` in my pockets, sayin` I just rolled a pimpleYo, my mouth was movin` but it was nothin` I was sayin`Only if they knew deep inside my mind, I was prayin`AmenI only pray when shit is fucked up!I only pray when my life is lookin` bad luck!I only pray when I need his help the most, what?!Callin` out to someone, somewhere!Yo, is anybody out there?[Jungle]Ain`t nothin` stoppin` me - Untouchable - Hoes, I fucked a fewStyle like The Greatest, Ali - Check what the knuckle doRock bubblegoose to mink, big links,yellow ice, live the ghetto life, `fuck y`all think?Bravehearted; fuck around, get graveyardedDearly departed - The word on the street, I`m a targetI ain`t runnin`, I ain`t hidin`, I`m ridin`I be gunnin`, y`all be duckin` and divin`when I come through buckin` this four-fivin`Revenge you sayin` you gettin`but shit is gettin` too wild, this lifestyle of sprayin` weaponsso I check out the preacher - Life is off the meterThoughts of homicide, tryin` to dodge the reaperConfessions in a church `cause it hurts, behind a curtainNigga talkin` to me, but I ain`t certainVoice sound familiar so I pulled the shade backIt was this stupid nigga that I popped way backHe set me up, he just got to the preistI tried to reach but he had his heat pointed my wayand said, `Pray`[Nas]"You`ve got to pray, huh! I mean pray, pray, and when you pray, you got to look up to the lord, huh! You got to look up and you got to pray for your children, huh! You got to pray for that man in front of the liquor store, huh! You got to pray for that man on the corner! He know he doin` wrong, but somebody gotta pray for him, huh! You know we doin` wrong, but we gotta pray for ourselves! You know we are headin` to this new millennium, goddamnit! They say a comet is comin`
