Nas - No Bad Energy lyrics

I'm oblivious to you skeptics
What you hear you ain't ever
Hear 'til I repped it
Iridescent heroes essence
Please clear the exit's
I chase demons outdoors, force 'em
To hear the message, air 'em out
Heard some people discussing my whereabouts
Yeah, it's been a few sightings of me
A fair amount never seen much
But yet I'm never in the house
Move in style, wild
Exciting when I do step out
Y'all been rhyming for years and
Jungle made a hit "Oochie Wally" I did
Sold a million records had 'em embarrassed
Signed to Columbia
Blew a check, he was laughing
While y'all in the studio bragging
About your past and
Thinking back on trips on Manhattan
Dad was rolling hotels like The Plaza
Black bellhops holding rich people bags
Tip their hats to old men coming out of cabs
Limousine holding doors for them
We all got a job to do, go for it

No bad energy, please, no bad energy
(Just try to be the best you, man
That's all I can say, man)
No bad energy, please, no bad energy
(Don't light over here, man
Put that away, man, put that away)
No bad energy, please, no bad energy
(Tryna tell 'em, know what I'm saying?
Big Apple my Hennessy, please)
No bad energy, please, no bad energy
(On the rocks, yeah)

To rappers who never sold crack
Telling other people's lives
Never shot nobody but be shooting
People in their rhymes
Never robbed nobody or re-upped with
Coke in they ride
I'm probably who they talking about when
They're writing most of their lines
And I ain't notice it
Trapping was what was happening
With bolder cliques
Around me I'm surrounded by
The most devoted clique
We saw the smokers get rowdy
For all the potentness
And still ain't know how sick it
Was in that ocean abyss
What doesn't come out in the wash
Comes out in the rinse
You suckers ain't had no say so
Whoever put you in the position to have
A say so should be questioned theyself
I'm silk shirts, summer time sunny
Sun chaser pretty girl tongue taster
Southern girl luster city girl love maker
The matinee watcher the good weather on a
Saturday afternoon shopper good gift copper
Still miss Big Poppa

No bad energy, please, no bad energy
No bad energy, please, no bad energy
No bad energy, please, no bad energy
No bad energy, please, no bad energy
