Nas, Bravehearts - Quiet Niggas lyrics

Where my real niggas at
There's a lot of real niggas out there
There's a lot of real niggas everywhere
That's why you don't fuck with just anybody
A lot of niggas is just on the low, chillin'
Not botherin' nobody
Until one muthafucka fuck with 'em
And then all hell break loose

Quiet niggas will kill loud niggas talk shit
Them be the ones who get killed
It's wild where we walk, kid
Is you brave nigga is you a slave nigga
Is you a made nigga or is you a paid nigga
Quiet niggas will kill loud niggas talk shit
Them be the ones who get killed
It's wild where we walk, kid
Is you brave nigga is you a slave nigga
Is you a made nigga or is you a paid nigga

Well known gangstas, entrust, that we bust
Your heart and soul lies with us, let's see
Boldly go where we once took a nigga before
Now the motherfucker beggin' for more
It's Thorazine
Standin' here shakin', hatin' the haters
They watchin' my paper
Realize, a 4-5 will open his eyes
Now what the fuck you think
He saw before he drop?
Nigga standin' there just like a cop
Braveheart I'm screamin up the block
Now the soldier, cadet, general in fact
Don't let me get up and
Show y'all muthafuckas respect plans connect
The twinklin' diamonds upon my neck
More Jazz than Hornacek
I blast, leave your corner wet
Straight on top of ya
Spittin' like the Trench Coat Mafia
In a schoolyard, we make it hard
What's poppin' y'all?
We made our change what's stoppin' y'all?
They spray y'all names Rest in
Peace on the project wall

Quiet niggas will kill loud niggas talk shit
Them be the ones who get killed
It's wild where we walk, kid
Is you brave nigga is you a slave nigga
Is you a made nigga or is you a paid nigga
Quiet niggas will kill loud niggas talk shit
Them be the ones who get killed
It's wild where we walk, kid
Is you brave nigga is you a slave nigga
Is you a made nigga or is you a paid nigga

I wave gang signs at the youth
That's down for the cause
Sling them things 'til the very end
You better get yours time is runnin' out
Your streets is gettin' smaller as we speak
Giuliani turns these lights on
So niggas can't creep
I miss the shit out of David Dinkins
Please free John Gotti
They kept the black man eatin'
Not killin' everybody drug wars is real
You have no friends in the outfield
Foul balls is death, umpires keep ice grills
There's no tomorrow
It's the bottom of the 9-9
Can't die a broke man with
A bitch that's fine
My heart's full of braveness
So who the fuck will want to save this
Fallen angel from fallen
Startin' chaos on this nation
Don't play us on your station if
You pussy or you hatin'
You could find us in the hood
Thuggin' and regulatin'
Don't play us on your station if
You pussy or you hatin'
You could find us in the hood
Thuggin' and regulatin'

Quiet niggas will kill loud niggas talk shit
Them be the ones who get killed
It's wild where we walk, kid
Is you brave nigga is you a slave nigga
Is you a made nigga or is you a paid nigga
Quiet niggas will kill loud niggas talk shit
Them be the ones who get killed
It's wild where we walk, kid
Is you brave nigga is you a slave nigga
Is you a made nigga or is you a paid nigga

Yo, we here to eat food, my peoples be lethal
Shots in your body make you see-through
Quiet niggas become jail riot niggas
25 to life bid, never cry niggas
Floss when they up north
Chest gettin' bigger
Celebs on the VI, respect that nigga
Reggy on the regular, chops it up
Like a editor
Come through one man gang like The Predator
If your wake, I'll wet it up
Jungle set it up
The jackal rock you to sleep
While I'm comin' at you
Air out your area, Queensbridge forever, what
Ill Will the label
Bravehearts, y'all scared of us

Yo, when those niggas ran
These niggas stayed
When those niggas switched up
And bitched up afraid
These niggas clicked up and
Ripped up the gauge
Those niggas got jail and sick 'cause we paid
Don't even rep QB, you ain't got hood stripes
Looters come through catch you
Frontin' and it's goodnight
Know how much force this is
Jungle, Horse, and Wiz
Nothin' but horses, kid
We go to war for this

Quiet niggas will kill loud niggas talk shit
Them be the ones who get killed
It's wild where we walk, kid
Is you brave nigga is you a slave nigga
Is you a made nigga or is you a paid nigga
Quiet niggas will kill loud niggas talk shit
Them be the ones who get killed
It's wild where we walk, kid
Is you brave nigga is you a slave nigga
Is you a made nigga or is you a paid nigga
Quiet niggas will kill loud niggas talk shit
Them be the ones who get killed
It's wild where we walk, kid
Is you brave nigga is you a slave nigga
Is you a made nigga or is you a paid nigga
Quiet niggas will kill loud niggas talk shit
Them be the ones who get killed
It's wild where we walk, kid
Is you brave nigga is you a slave nigga
Is you a made nigga or is you a paid nigga
