Nas - Destroy & Rebuild lyrics

This is a journey into the world's
Most largest and notorious projects
Queensbridge listen while Nas saves his hood
From the most cowardest rappers

He held a mass appeal and a likkle boy smile
Depressed has a complex, his mouth was foul
You need to stay around
I feel like tellin' some stories
First there's this arrogant fuck
His name's Cory
Hung around my mans Lakey and Big Trevor
Trevor's still locked up
Lake's gettin' his cheddar
Corey changed his name to ah, whatever
Cornchip, Buckwheat look-a-like, it's Mega
Right, Mega was his name, sorry about that
But it's so hard to put a
Coward's name in my rap
Always actin' tough, a jokester be frontin'
He got snuffed, he got shot in the thigh


He did nothin'
But that's Nas always lookin' out for bredren
'Cause when bredren don't return love
It don't stress him
'Cause gangstas do gangsta shit
Real recognize real
Still laughin' to the bank and shit
Back to Cor'
Got him a deal but his rhymes was wack
Def Jam mad that he signed the contract
Now he got jealous and mad at my shine
Making silly tapes, I'm always on his mind
Nonsense, not to be obnoxious, kid
Mega, for the record you could suck my dick
Bitch, you from around the way
It's sad what this do to me
But Queensbridge, we gotta have unity

They say
(The bridge is over, the bridge is over)
Nah, this is the time we
Destroy and rebuild it they say
(The bridge is over, the bridge is over)
Nah, we the strongest hood but
Weak niggas kill it so they say
(The bridge is over, the bridge is over)
Nah, this is the time we
Destroy and rebuild it they say
(The bridge is over, the bridge is over)
Nah, we the strongest hood but it's
These cowards that kill it so now they say

Since we on the subject
Of traitors and flunkies
Mega ain't the only faggot in my hood
Dummies
There's plenty that wanna be me but cannot
It's like King Arthur and Knight Sir Lancelot
Lefty and Donnie Brasco, Gotti and Paul
Before I woulda told you Prodigy's my dog
Through the ups and downs, robberies and all
Though I always knew he wanted my downfall
He would say "Hi!"s little slick
Shit and act real funny for what
Nigga? You're butt and it got back to me
Askin' a Braveheart to help
Get back your jewelry
You ain't from my hood, don't even rep QB
Nature moved to Marcy
(Man dick riding Nature) Nothing else to say
Man, Nature moved to Marcy (What? Far)
Backward ass niggas, man, fuck them niggas
(Far away)
Go 'head with the program, man, proceed
Old lady pocketbook snatcher, car thief
Course we ain't friends
You never stood on no blocks
Streets or corners with zombies
Ghouls and gangstas
Cops, drug dealers with pools of blood anger
Just fills me when niggas let out
Of town to set shot
And get filthy rich, it's just not
No more morals, no loyalty, no more community
Queensbridge, we gotta have unity

They say
(The bridge is over, the bridge is over)
Nah, this is the time we
Destroy and rebuild it they say
(The bridge is over, the bridge is over)
Nah, we the strongest hood but
Weak niggas kill it so they say
(The bridge is over, the bridge is over)
Nah, this is the time we
Destroy and rebuild it they say
(The bridge is over, the bridge is over)
Nah, we the strongest hood but it's
These cowards that kill it so now they say

I put the name on the
Map after Marley and Shan
QB before the ROC had one jam
Before the Death Row and Bad Boy beef
I had streets locked with raw talent
I laugh at the weak
So this about cleanin' up house
My own backyard
Famous home of rap stars well
Known be getting robbed
P, how many times ain't you shamed that
Jungle was bustin' his gun to
Get your weak chain back
They don't respect you
A check's due for me for your fame
Mega, I hope you blow so I'm sayin' your name
(Mega, Mega) hoes play your position 'cause
You'll never be King
Even Jigga want the crown
"How that sound?" Poor thing
I'm representin' Queensbridge USA
Where two SK's go off every day ruthless lay
All you little roaches and rats
Besides my man Ricky
Nas the true ruler is back so haters say

(The bridge is over, the bridge is over)
Nah, this is the time we
Destroy and rebuild it they say
(The bridge is over, the bridge is over)
Nah, we the strongest hood but
Weak niggas kill it so they say
(The bridge is over, the bridge is over)
Nah, this is the time we
Destroy and rebuild it they say
(The bridge is over, the bridge is over)
Nah, we the strongest hood but it's
These cowards that kill it so now they say

"The Bridge is over, " my dick
The Bridge'll never be over
Long as I'm alive and breathin'
Braveheart to the graveyard
I'm the William Wallace of this shit
Ayo, P, Prodigy I got love for
You, man, I love you, man
You know what I'm sayin'?
Just get them unloyal niggas
From out your circle
You can't save everybody
Niggas invited you to the hood, rep it right
My nigga be untouchable, my nigga
So it be Mobb for life for real
And that's real
Ayo, Nature, I can't hold your
Hand through this shit, man
I'm not your father, man
Be your own man, stand on your own two
I believe in you, believe in yourself, nigga
Or don't even rep this, man
Ayo, Mega you wanna be a gangsta?
There's real gangsta shit going
On in the streets, man
Yo niggas is in the grind
Where you be at man? Niggas be buckin'
Why you never buckin'? Where you be at, man?
All of a sudden you the motherfuckin'
Nino Brown of the fuckin' hood?
It's disgusting, man, stay out the magazines
Keep my name out your motherfuckin' mouth
There's no more room for jealousy
We destroyin' and rebuildin'
That means the cowards get out
And real niggas stay
Niggas been hating me since I been nine
Shining with suede motherfucking Bally's
On and silks i'ma always be the young don
Don't be like the niggas on the other side
Hating me 'cause I'm beautiful
Real niggas in Queensbridge
Y'all niggas come up and get
This money and move on, baby
QB
