Nas - Legit lyrics

Is there a heart?
Is there a heart in the house tonight?
Bravehearts stand up, stand up
Let me know, let me know if you understand
Is there a heart?
(Is there a heart in the house?)
Is there a heart in the house?
You gotta have love yeah
You gotta have love in your heart
Yeah, my beginnings was intense
Who'd have thought I’d go legit?
For sure, yeah, yеah

We comin' blacker than Black Panther 2
Nobody this thorough, that's thе truth
Never go against the family
That’s somethin' you don't do
Don't get Eddie King'd tryna sing your
Way back in the group, nah
Stars in the ceilin'
God's Son in the buildin' rep that 718
It’s hard to depart from that feelin’
Careful sellin' weight
The DEA be watchin’ you dealin'
Get yourself straight
Before they find that paraphernalia
For those who claim a
Hundred million on taxes
Beautiful actresses
Street dudes who turn activist who
Used to move packages
Know Nas still here to remove the
Wall that I'm back against
Legitimized all your hustles before
The gavel hit (Oh)
It takes more than love
It takes wakin' up early to
Face the moment debatin’
Should I save it or blow it?
I mean it's only some paper
None of my neighbors too nosy
The Joneses ownin' some acres
To be the greatest is lonely but it chose me
I take it
Whatever the case may be, I'm out of space
OD nASA without the A at the end
Take off on three
What's the cost of a CD when
Fifteen hundred places one sell?
What's that to fifteen hundred
Peas on one scale?
For a starvin' artist tryna
Sneak out and reroute
Originality I seek out, let's clean house
To black homeowners, check it out
To black homeowners
Take over and throw the lease out
This that movie reel
The Jordan Peele of this thing low-key
Boss shit, pull the strings behind the scenes

On my soul
This for my kids and the cold shit I done did
All them O's I tried to flip
Who'd have thought I'd go legit? yeah
And the cold shit I done did (Uh, huh)
Pretty girls who let me hit
Who'd have thought I'd go legit? yeah
And the cold shit that you did (That's right)
All them O's you tried to flip
Who'd have thought you'd go legit? (Oh)

Grown man business, COVID closed jail visit's
Stove still lit
Many still on the scales with it
System failed my niggas, in the trial hearin'
No bail, eyewitness showed up, and snitches
I read Jesus' diary and ran
To tell the streets no, this ain't no hype
We in the belly of the beast
All they said was I would be a felon
Be deceased instead, I'm in Margiela in
Loewe with the crease the consummate (Uh)
Kill 'em all
Call the bomb squad and the SWAT for this
(Uh) got off the block for this (yeah)

On my soul
This for my kids and the cold shit that I did
Pretty girls who let me hit
It's only right I went legit (Uh, too legit)
And the cold shit I done did (Haha)
All them O's I tried to flip
Who'd have thought I'd go legit? yeah
(I do it for y'all)
And the cold shit that you did (Uh, huh)
All them O's you tried to flip
Who'd have thought you'd go legit?
(Do it for y'all)

Yeah, we was just chillin' on the sofa
No job, no school, ghetto babies
I was small-time, small-time to big-time
You can do it too, go legit
Yeah, believe in yourself
Live the life you deserve
Haha, that's how we do
I ain't forget the roaches and mice
I ain't forget all that
