Family

Family - Nas

Yo

Dunn you fam to me and only family

That can get that close to me

Keep it type strong

Blowin green that's keepin us goin

Allah Havoc gettin right on them 747

Dunn you fam to me and only family

That can get that close to me

Keep it type strong

Blowin green that's keepin us goin

Unconditional love showin

Yo yo yo yo

Forty decide on the First side right

Me and my Dunns come from the slums

You can't take the slums out my Dunns

And that's how it is that's how we live

Sometimes I find myself wearin the same sh*t for days

Not carin bout what they gon' think or say

I got that "I don't give a f**k" in me it's stuck in me

That's how I 'vantage over y'all niggaz y'all too pretty

We too gritty like Sanford and Son (what)

Too grimy like Pigpen with jewels on

See we the top rap niggaz the Q-Dogs

You got a lot of nerve puttin out them songs

Knowin that my niggaz come strong so let's get it on

We just gettin warm Operation "Quiet Storm"

Silent wars or we silence the fours

Half P and I's got it in the smash for sure

Now it's movies and soundtracks

This is where your career stop at

Aiyyo I drink to that

I'm like a dictionary y'all rappers exam me

You ballet They read your obituary in front your family

You should idolize Nas in the flesh

Don't wait til I'm dead to say I was the best no doubt

We shot hoops with coathangers got loot with dopestslangers

Sold soap to strangers joked with danger

Rob prostitutes dodge cops in hot pursuit

Bought weight from rosters travel hot routes

O T commute back and forth

Tell shorty get that package off

F**k bein trapped up North being told where to eat and sh*t

Caught a case then I beat the sh*t

Theives on the block flash badges nylon jackets

Big white boys with guns yellin "Freeze black kids "

Got my niggaz in the pen eatin octopus

Wishin they was on the blocks with us

To watch me and P do it (uh) put the heat to it (uh)

Put it out first day the whole street knew it

B**ches hold they pussies and bop to the music

And think deep to it now who the truest

Yo

Dunn you fam to me and only family

That can get that close to me

Keep it type strong

Blowin green that's keepin us goin

Allah Havoc gettin right on them 747

Dunn you fam to me and only family

That can get that close to me

Keep it type strong

Blowin green that's keepin us goin

Unconditional love showin

Yo you fam to me and only family

That can get that close to me

Keep it type strong

Blowin green that's keepin us goin

Unconditional love showin

Are you fam to me and only fam to me

That can get that close to me

Keep it type strong

Dirty fingernails reachin in my pocket pullin knots out

I daydream of better days in different ways

Out this lifestyle we live iced out with the big fifth

That's why the burnt leather lean to the left

Even though we gained cash on fish

I'm trapped on reason bein we ain't all rich

And I'ma be that same ni**a for the door

And I'ma still walk the same path we soon clash

We get stacks you do the math

We pound niggaz out walk away and laugh

Fresh from out the lab P and Nastradamus kid

Rap niggaz sh*t they drawers

Yo they probably did

I aircondition y'all niggaz my prediction is you rewind this

Your highness Q-Boro's finest

Click your Timbs three times the wizard is Nas

Grant you a wish you get rich while listenin hard

To my thugs in the prisonyard bench-pressin 200 pounds and up

Feelin like you down on your luck

Raise up I feel your pain hit the law library

Appeal the game all eyes on me

Restrained from bein looked at as uncivilized

We epitomize thug song y'all niggaz get mad

Jealous rappers is puss ain't got no style

No heart and no look shook

Get stole on my niggaz move right in the moonlight

Y'all niggaz get done I pee on them son they a small issue

We too official blue steel pistols

Teflon vests it's no contest we hit you

Dunn you fam to me and only family

That can get that close to me

Keep it type strong

Blowin green that's keepin us goin

Unconditional love showin

Yo yo yo yo
