Nas - Serious Interlude lyrics

Uh huh, yeah uh huh, yeah
Talk to me talk to me, yeah

Ladies love cool Nas with a tight fade
And I ain't make it past the ninth grade
And I ain't need to have one
Diamond to bag a dime (yeah)
And I ain't need a dollar to holler
I made her mine (yeah)
A rich dude' wife stayed on
My block talking to me
Like she ain't scared to get knocked
And she wore all this jewelry
What she see in me? She look like Sheila E
She looked like she could be
Ten years older easily
Her name was - oh well, I don't kiss and tell
But she must've ran her mouth
'Cause every time me and her man cross paths
(What's that?) it's tension in the air
He probably doin' the math
Late night, she ventin' to me
Say he doin' her bad
And I ain't feel a way about it
(yeah) , told her pray about it
When I crush and she go back home
I hate the silence writin' in my notepad
Flippin' through soul samples
Not knowin' I could get caught
In a whole scandal

A serious situation we all go through
Yeah, we all go through
(We all go through, we all go through)
A serious situation we all go through
We all, we all (Uh, it's too serious)

I ain't have to drive a Rolls
And I took off her clothes
I ain't have to have a house
And I was strippin' her down (yeah)
I was switchin' 'em out
(yeah) ig'nant amounts (yeah)
I guess that's how I was movin'
Can't say I was proud
Since the days of public school when
I was a scruffy dude
I ran with the troubled youth
(yeah) had shorties and lovers, true
Many had got jealous before I was top sellin'
Before I had touched a million
(Okay) , few niggas caught feelings
Few niggas bought pussy
Few of 'em bought gifts
And I ain't do none of that
She blew me a soft kiss (Mwah)
But now she want something more
I'm ready to call it quit's
The one I'm with right now
Who I'm gettin' lost in

A serious situation we all go through
(A serious, yeah)
(yeah, we all go through) We all go
Through (Said we all go through)
A serious situation we all go through
(When I risk it all for you)
I said, a serious situation we all go through
(yeah, we all go through) We all
Go through (We go through)
A serious situation we all go through

Anything can happen now that you're my baby
Yeah, I be gripping on you crazy
Haven't we all, I was havin' a ball
Oh yeah, a serious situation
We all go through, yeah
Damn, mami, you sexy
I love the thickness, I'd bite you too
Don't act like that with a back like that, uh
