Nas, The Game - Hustlers lyrics

Dre, he a Compton-Compton O.G
Nas, he a QB-QB true G
Do the history

Way before The Firm, like back in the day
Nas was the first New York
Nigga rappin' with Dre
So of course I got a track to
Bring it back to your face
The one kid that would've been
Aftermath that got away
But we still get together, like
Every several years
To sprinkle a little bit of
Heaven for your ears
Relax, sippin' Cliquot in Rio
Stupid fuckers
Low-key, no G's
But it's still Gucci luggage
I love Cape Cod
And watching fly bitches with gray eyes
Wrestle in a tub of KY to get my day by
I like to celebrate
Why? 'Cause I can vision
Collages and images of my lies
With no regret to hate
So every breath I take is all about the rules
It's hard for you to breathe
Like you at high altitude
So crack the Patron, it's on heathens
The God's back, hard body
Mr. Jones never leavin'

Hustlers, dealers, drop-top riders
Make that cake, cop two five fivers
Pimps and players, platinum diamonds
East to West Coast, we riders
Hustlers, dealers, drop-top riders
Make that cake, cop two five fivers
Pimps and players, platinum diamonds
East to West Coastin' O.G

He a Compton-Compton O.G
Mix that with a QB-QB true G, what you got's
A concoction of some different ghetto blocks
West Coast kill the tracks
East Coast gunshots
He a Compton-Compton O.G
Mix that with a QB-QB true G, what you got's
A concoction of some different ghetto blocks


1995, eleven years from the day
I'm in the record shop with choices to make
Illmatic on the top shelf, The
Chronic on the left
Homie
Wanna cop both but only got a 20 on me
So fuck it, I stole both
Spent the 20 on a dub sack
Ripped the package off Illmatic
And bumped that
For my niggas it was too
Complex when Nas rhymed
I was the only Compton nigga with
A "New York State of Mind"
Inside the dope house, bottlin' up sherm
Bangin' The Firm
Dre was king then so I waited my turn
Fast forward, now I'm making 'em burn
Ended my peers' careers
Hollered at Nas, a hard lesson was learned
So I reconciled my differences like
He did with Jigga
I stopped beefin' with niggas
'cause I'm "Ether" to niggas
Comb the earth 'til there's no one left
If I ruled the world I summons all
You weak rap niggas to death

He a Compton-Compton OG
Mix that with a QB-QB true G, what you got's
A concoction of some different ghetto blocks
West Coast kill the tracks
East Coast gunshots

Yo, the Jordans sportin'
Come off the dice game
With a fortune walkin'
You a walking coffin'
The musket, I tucked it, you bluff it
I bust it
You're sideways talking, so I lay often
I wait patient, to duct tape hatin'
Fuck ass niggas, get bucked ass niggas
Pluck ashes of Cuban cigars
You foolin' with Nas
That's my name and I came
With Rugers this time
And if I'm sane that Soul
Plane movie's the bomb
Word to my mom's name tattooed to my arm
You can't revolve me, embalm me
Calm me or harm me
Rob me or dodge these bullets I'm busting
See that's malarky you yappin'
I open up the tripod to put the Gatling on
And I start clappin'
Nasty man
From bagging grams and runnin' from cops
To a mil on the hand, a mil on the watch
I'm fuckin' with Doc

Hustlers, dealers, drop-top riders
Make that cake, cop two five fivers
Pimps and players, platinum diamonds
East to West Coast, we riders
Hustlers, dealers, drop-top riders
Make that cake, cop two five fivers
Pimps and players, platinum diamonds
East to West Coastin' O.G
