Hey Nas, hey hey boy, you see what they
Done did to Jimmy and Lee
Mmm hmm, damn, man

You think this is gonna eva' change?
Man, damn this place, man
Damn these chains
These damn chitlins every damn night
This cotton
Shit

Harriett done left the night befo'
It's time we go
Ain't no place for black folk here
Man, promise land callin' me man
It's callin' me too

It's time we go
Yeah, I'm wichou
Hey man, hey damn these chains, man
Damn you master, you ain't my master, man
You ain't nothin', you ain't nothin'

Hey Bandit, Bandit, get the dogs
Get the hounds, we gonna have ourselves
A hangin' tonight

Nineteen-ninety-six
Back up in this nigga
The right way, though, you know?
Double-tre son, you know ain't nothin'
Coincidental or accidental, son
No doubt

You know how it's goin' down, man
It was all written
No question, I'm sayin' man
I mean, how we playin' man
You know what I'm sayin', they dealt us in, son

They playin' with a fifty-four deck
You see with the jokers in and everything
You know what I'm saying?
Son, I'm playin' with the fifty-two
You wanna stress on how I used to play
That's how I play

But, yo, they takin' us into this next millennium
Right now
I'm sayin' law, you know what I'm sayin'
We gotta lay the law
'Cause without law ain't no order

You know what I'm sayin'
That's why these cats are slippin'
Through, you know what I'm sayin'?
They got the rules missin' though

Yo, word up, though you know what I mean?
Son, these niggas look faker than
The new hundred dollars, son
Yeah, you see that they look
Monopoly money, right?
Word, with the big ass face on it

Yo, what I'm sayin', we see through all that, though
You know what I'm sayin'? No question
All eyes seein', son, you know we real
Yo, no doubt, in the Qu'ran it says Nas, the men
Nesa's the woman, know? It was written
