Yo, what up, dunn?

Son, what up?

Word? Right

Yo, yo, son, man

Yeah

I'm sayin', man, it's about time, man

These niggas are shoutin' at everythin', you know what I'm sayin'?

Them niggas is gettin' my money, yo!

Them niggas is gettin' MY money, yo!

Yo, fuck that, man, I'mma get that nigga, yo

(...)

[Verse 1: Nas, random guy, Nas & random guy]

It was a murder, Jake just hit the corner, people swarmin'

Three in the mornin', I jumped out my cab like "Fuck!" (Like, "What up?")

Niggas is buck. (Bow) Mega bloodshed, the tape's red

I heard some bird whisper, "Yo, he should've ducked"

I puffed the lila just before I hit the scene for real-er

I'm all high, it's late. I'm lookin' down at the fella

Shit's pushed in, ambulance placed him on some cushion

His moms had a stare I wouldn't dare second look when I murk

It hurt, kinda took it as a brief reminder

That the street's designed to stop ya life clock. The beast'll time ya

Cell to cell, suspect-ass nigga, you fail

First time locked in Comstock, my mind blocks the frail

Burstin', blastin' at you, forty cal' shells split your dry cell

My niggas never snitch, why tell?

We roll wit' no regrets, destinies, fifties and equities

Queens'll be the death of me (The death of me)

[Chorus: Nas & a bunch of random guys]

To the suspect witness, don't come outside

You might get your shit pushed back tonight

Suspect witness, don't come outside

You might get your shit pushed back tonight

[Chorus: Nas, random guy, a bunch of random guys]

Suspect witness, don't come outside (What?)

You might get your shit pushed back tonight (Yeah)

Suspect witness, don't come outside

You might get your shit pushed back tonight

[Verse 2: Nas & random guy]

Dear God, I want the riches (What?). Money-hungry bitches infested

Givin' the jealous niggas sickness to witness

My crew dresses in vests-es, feel the essence

Try to test this scientist, able and reckless

Slaughter, Nautica'd down, frames look petite

Ten millies, minks designed just for my physique

I keep a low pro' as if I owe, bless the flow lovely

My pants hang while I'm dancin', sippin' the bubbly

Hey! Me no worry, hashish keep my eyes Chinese (Me no worry)

Rollin' two Phillies together make blunts Siamese

I meant it, I represent it, descendant made of early natives

That were captured and taught to think backwards

Trapped us in a cracker's psychiatric, it's massive

A Million Man March, alert the masses

Tan Clarks, Armani in small print upon my glasses

Don assassins, armageddon

The wedding of a freak and a beast, seven heads

Got the righteous threatened

Life was written, the plot curves behind the settin'

Comprehend the grammar, math we own

Are you the type of nigga to shoot a leg to get your name known?

I flip the brain tone, niggas get hit and wrapped in plastic

The mic I strike in vain givin' the pain of what a MAC is

What you wit'? Lucci or drama? No sleep means insomnia

No need to check the clock, the streets'll time ya (Time ya)

[Chorus: Nas & a bunch of random guys]

Suspect witness, don't come outside ([?], boy, shit is real)

You might get your shit pushed back tonight

Suspect witness, don't come outside

You might get your shit pushed back tonight (Yeah. Ye-eh-eh-ah)

[Verse 3: Nas & random guy]

It justifies Nas Escobar's leavin' shit mesmerized

Mega live like the third world

Decipher my deceiver, make him a believer

Spittin' Gem Stars, words in my mic type receiver

Bond is my life, so I live by my word

Never fraudulent, Queensbridge don't make no herbs

Spread my name to deacons, politicians while they speakin'

Rebel to America's civilization, caught you sleepin' (Blaow!)

[Outro: Jungle & Nas]

Queensbridge, boy! Once again, boy! (Recognize, boy! Recognize!)

Stupid motherfuckers!

Yeah, yeah

Street educated

Created (Created)

Fly gangsta (Fly gangsta)

Firm style (Firm style)

AZ (AZ)

What up, what up? (What up?)

Jungle (Jungle)

Benny Blanco from the 'Bridge ('Bridge)

'Mega ('Mega)

Big Hi (Big Hi)

Clap 'em down (Down)

L.E.S. on a murder quest (Murder quest)

Yeah, yeah, y'all (Yeah, y'all)
