Nas - One Time 4 Your Mind lyrics

Yeah, it's Illmatic yeah
Yeah, it's Illmatic yeah
Yeah, it's Illmatic haha, haha, check it

One time 4 your mind, one time
Yeah, whatever
One time 4 your mind, one time yo, whatever
One time 4 your mind, one time a yo, Nas
What up, pah? Kick that fuckin' rhyme!
Check it out!

When I'm chillin', I grab the buddha
Get my crew to buy beers
And watch a flick, illin' and
Rootin' for the villain, huh
Plus every morning
I go out and love it sort of chilly
Then I send a shorty from my
Block to the store for Phillies
After bein' blessed by the herb's essence
I'm back to my rest, ten minutes
Some odd seconds
That's where I got the honey at
Spends the night for sexin'
Keep lubrication, Lifestyle protection
Pickin' up my stereo's remote control quickly
Ron G's in the cassette
Deck rockin' the shit, g
I try to stay mellow, rock, well
A cappella rhymes'll make me richer than a
Slipper made Cinderella, fella
Go get your crew, hops
I'm prepared to bomb troops
Y'all niggas was born
I shot my way out my mom dukes
When I was ten
I was a hip-hoppin' shorty wop
Known for rockin' microphones and twistin'
Off a 40 top

One time 4 your mind, one time
Yeah, whatever
One time 4 your mind, one time
It sound clever
A yo, Nas, fuck that, man, that shit was phat
But kick that for them gangstas, man
Fuck all that! Right, right

What up, niggas? How y'all? It's Nasty
The villain
I'm still writin' rhymes, but besides that
I'm chillin'
I'm tryin' to get this money, God
You know the hard times, kid
Shit, cold, be starvin' make
You wanna do crimes, kid
But I'mma lamp ‘cause a crime
Couldn't beat a rhyme
Niggas catchin' 3-to-9's
Muslims yellin' "Free the mind!"
And I'm from Queensbridge
Been to many places
As a kid, when I would say that outta town
Niggas chased us
But now I know the time, got a older mind
Plus control a 9
Fine, see, now I represent mine
I'm new on the rap scene
Brothers never heard of me
Yet I'm a menace, yo, police wanna murder me
Heini Dark drinker, represent the thinker
My pen rides the paper, it even has blinkers
Think I'll dim the lights, then inhale
It stimulates
Floatin' like I'm on the North 95 Interstate
Never plan to stop, when I write
My hand is hot
And expand the lot from the Wiz to Camelot
The parlayer, I'll make your heads bop, pah
I shine a light on perpetrators
Like a cop's car from day to night
I play the mic and you'll thank God
I wreck shit so much
The microphone'll need a paint job
My brain is incarcerated live at any jam
I couldn't count all the parks I've raided
I hold a MAC-11, and attack a reverend
I contact eleven L's and max in heaven

One time 4 your mind, one time
It sounds clever
One time 4 your mind, one time
Yeah, whatever
One time 4 your mind, one time
Yo, from '92 to '99

Yeah, that shit was crazy phat, pah
Know what I’m sayin'?
But check it, you got another verse for me
I want you to kick it
You know what I'm sayin'?
Kick that shit for the projects
Know what I'm sayin'?
