[Nas - QueensBridge Politics lyrics]
Trying to figure out if she gon'
Give me that face time i don't wanna tour
I wanna chill with my son more
Teach him about Egypt and tranquility
Critically analyze black lives
And respectability why Prodigy mural get
Vandalized? Why Prodigy?
The project politics obviously
Demagogue democracy, in the fog I see the
Mobb represented into the light
Back to the source where all energy comes
Your enemy, dunn, was internal
A disease that needs a vaccination
Plagues black seeds
The industry ain't as friendly
As it first seems
When you dream of drivin' your whip
To ya house in Florida Keys
On behalf of me and Queens and all of the Gs
Bandana P will always stand as
Tall as the trees
First things first, this should be understood
Queensbridge, just ain't any other hood
It's music
Legacy is incredibly high pedigree
I don't mean this
Disrespectfully alphabetically
If it's hard to swallow and the credit's
Of B street singing this Bernard Fowler
He sang with the Rolling Stones
Background for Bootsy Collins
Marley Marl's advanced raps
Sound perfect timing
The early '80s, we babies
Pebblee Poo dropped the beat was crazy and
Marley was changing hip-hop
Then Marley and Shanté caught a body, UTFO
She cold, "Roxanne's Revenge"
She was 14 years old
Then came the Juice Crew and the who's whos
G Rap, Rakim and Kane, beats made in the Q-U
I was probably playing with 32s in the lobby
It's Queensbridge over everything
And everybody
I wish the 'book never came out
And everything got straightened out
Before you left, I saw you, it was all love
Except we needed to build more
And get things correct
Now I gotta accept it
'cause there's honor in death
Wish you was here with us P
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Shout out to Havoc, shout out to 'Pone
Shout out to Jungle shout out to Jeff
Shout out to Big Lord the big dog (Lord)
Free Bar, Spark (Bar, Spark)
It's a lot going on free the kings
It's a lot going on man, it's heavy
Goodfellas man prodigy man
It's heavy man we need to lighten it up
To all y'all, my bros
