Nas, Kelis - Not Going Back lyrics

What nigga!? Gunshots
What bitch-ass niggas!? gunshots
What! Babe, babe, start the car!
Car engine starts
Nasir, come on, let's go! (Bitch-ass niggas)
Yeah! Now what? Haha!
Get in the car now, let's go! yeah let's go
Car door closes Throw it out, let's go!
Aight, aight, aight, yeah
But I got 'em but I got 'em, though
This is crazy
Why didn't you just throw it out of the car?
This is so stupid, what are you doing?
Why are we even out here?
Why are we out here? What's going on?
This is retarded, yo, we gotta
This is crazy never again
You'd throw everything away, for what?

Yeah, my man Kool G Rap told me, "Son
Do not look back"
Chill up in the mansion with
A fat glutious max, relax
When people act, school em' with facts
Tell 'em at this point in my life
I'm all about chillin'
Ridin' around in something sick
And the dress flies
And twist, homie's hermano just died
I gotta let it ride
That's what I got the public thinkin'
My nigga just ‘cause I ain't in the
Hood don't mean shit, my nigga
I know who died before the body dropped
I know the guns that were used
How much money the shooter got
‘Cause on the private yacht I'm still
Within earshot of it all
The top ten list of the most
Grimiest guys of all time
Is all we talk when we talk in New York
Y'all who to call and who to stay away from
Whose mother's address to have just
To play it safe, son
Women they lust up so quick to give 'em up
What cars and what trucks they drive in
What towns they spend the most
Time in when they grindin'
I found out most of them are cowards
They hidin' behind reputations that's sour
I'm not going back

The streets keep tryin' to say
Come back around this way
I've already gone that way
I won't come back again i'm not going back!
Streets keep tryin' to say
Come back around this way
I've already gone that way
I won't come back again i'm not going back!

First thing that happen when you
Make a little paper
You think the Marriott is
Livin' in a skyscraper
Till you come across some
Even more flyer paper
Realize that five-star tellies
Are even greater
Terry-cloth robes, elegance, movie shit
Heated-up marble floors with jacuzzis in it
First-class flights
Diamonds in your crucifixes
All those things, you still
Ain't really doing shit, kid
‘Cause in reality, I'll earn my salary
The way I flaunted it then
Would now embarrass me
It kinda make me wanna hate bling
It's a race thing how they
Sell blacks the bootleg shit in fact
Real millionaires spend 60 mil on paintings
Whores charge niggas with raping
‘Cause we come out doors of Maybach cars
Watch us make bets on race tracks
Smokin' cigars
So they counter the laws to take what's ours
'Bout 500K on a lawyer to beat the charge
So you can't stop us from
Making a billion dollars
Instead of going back
I'm buying the projects
But I'm not going back
The hood's in me forever y'all
But I'm not going back

The streets keep tryin' to say
Come back around this way
I've already gone that way
I won't come back again i'm not going back!
Streets keep tryin' to say
Come back around this way
I've already gone that way
I won't come back again i'm not going back!

And of course y'all know what
I'm not going back to
Those no friends of mine
(And I'm not going back to)
Ten carat gold, no shine
(And I'm never going back to)
Sony, if they don't have dough to resign
(Not going back to)
Y'all know that I'm not going back to
Those liars who would… (Not going back to)
Not help you if they could
(Not going back to)
Coke on the stove in the hood
Y'all should know that I'm not going back
The hood's in me forever y'all
But I'm not going back

The streets keep tryin' to say (Ugh)
Come back around this way
I've already gone that way (That's right)
I won't come back again i'm not going back!
Streets keep tryin' to say (Get off me)
Come back around this way
(Don't try to pull me down man)
I've already gone that way (I already did it)
I won't come back again i'm not going back!
