Lyrics
[Verse 1]
QB
Where the fuck y'all at?
Yeah
Let's go
Get money
[Verse 2]
Chain gleamin', switchin' lanes, two seatin'
Hate him or love him for the same reason (Fresh)
Can't leave it, the game needs him
Plus the people need someone to believe in (Yes)
So in God's Son we trust
'Cause they know I'ma give 'em what they want
They lookin' for a (Hero)
I guess that makes me a (Hero)
[Verse 3]
Another chapter of the cleanest rapper, distinguished gentleman
Crooks & Castle on his back, Maybacher
Exotic lady eye-catcher, holla at ya, call me the chiropractor
Workin' like Muay Thai class, get perspire out ya
And of course I've been a boss since back when
Rockin' D-Boy, Fila velour in a 190 black Benz
Now they shut down the stores when I'm shoppin'
Used to be train robbin', face covered in stocking, I'm him
[Verse 4]
Chain gleamin', switchin' lanes, two seatin'
Hate him or love him for the same reason (Fresh)
Can't leave it, the game needs him
Plus the people need someone to believe in (Yes)
So in God's Son we trust
'Cause they know I'ma give 'em what they want
They lookin' for a (Hero)
I guess that makes me a (Hero)
[Verse 5]
Rubber grip holder, reloader
Come at me, I'ma rip your soldiers in half
Silverback ape, nickel-plated mag
Young, rich, and flashy, young bitch, I'm nasty
All black clothes till ice lay on me so classy
And every time I close my lids
I can still see the borough, I can still see the bridge
Can still see the dreams that my **** ain't never lived to see
Tell them angels, open the door for me
From nine Berettas and movin' raw
To chillin' in wine cellars, sticks and humidors
That's what I call mature, that's what I call a G
That's what I call a pimp, that's what I call a gangster
To the fullest, shit
I'm tryna make more cream by every September 14th
That's my dream, so I can be more clean
As I grow yearly, I can see things more clearly
That's why they fear me (Let's go)
[Verse 6]
Chain gleamin', switchin' lanes, two seatin'
Hate him or love him for the same reason (Fresh)
Can't leave it, the game needs him
Plus the people need someone to believe in (Yes)
So in God's Son we trust
'Cause they know I'ma give 'em what they want
They lookin' for a (Hero)
I guess that makes me a (Hero)
[Verse 7]
It's universal apartheid, I'm hog-tied, the corporate side
Blockin' y'all from goin' to stores and buyin' it
First L.A. and **** was ridin' with it
But Newsweek article startled bigwigs
They said, "Nas, why is he tryin' it?"
My lawyers only see the Billboard charts as winnin'
Forgettin' Nas the only true rebel since the beginnin'
Still in musical prison, in jail for the flow
Try tellin' Bob Dylan, Bruce, or Billy Joel
They can't sing what's in they soul
So Untitled it is
I never change nothin', but people, remember this
If Nas can't say it, think about these talented kids
With new ideas, bein' told what they can and can't spit
I can't sit and watch it, so shit, I'ma drop it
Like it or not, you ain't gotta cop it
I'm a hustler in the studio, cups of Don Julio
No matter what they CD called, I'm unbeatable, y'all, let's go
[Verse 8]
Yeah
Nas
Polow da Don
