ฟังเพลงLet Nas Down (Explicit)

Freedom or jail clips inserted a baby's bein' born

Same time my man is murdered

The beginning and end

As far as rap go it's only natural I explain

My plateau and also what defines my name

Yeah long live the idols may they never be your rivals

'Pac was like Jesus Nas wrote the Bible

Now what you 'bout to hear is a tale of glory and sin

No I D my mentor now let the story begin

I used to print out Nas' raps and tape 'em up on my wall

My n***as thought they was words but it was pictures I saw

And since I wanted to draw I used to read them in awe

Then he dropped Stillmatic rocked the cleanest velour

Fast forward who'd a thought that I would meet him on tour

I'm earnin' stripes now a n***a got Adidas galore

Backstage I shook his hand let 'em know that he's the man

When he said he was a fan it was too hard to understand

No time to soak up the moment though 'cause I was in a jam

Hov askin' where's the record that the radio could play

And I was strikin' out for months 9th inning feelin' fear

Jeter under pressure made the biggest hit of my career

But at first that wasn't clear n***as had no idea

Dion called me when it dropped sounded sad but sincere

Told me Nas heard your single and he hate that s**t

Said You the one yo why you make that s**t

I can't believe I let Nas down

D**n my heart sunk to my stomach

I can't believe I let Nas down

I got defensive on the phone

Resentment was in my tone f**k it

Long live the idols may they never be your rivals

'Pac was like Jesus Nas wrote the Bible

Now what you're 'bout to hear's a tale of glory and sin

No I D my mentor now let the story begin

I couldn't help but think that maybe I had made a mistake

I mean you made You Owe Me

Dog I thought that you could relate

But while I shot up the charts

You mean tellin' me that I was not up to par

When I followed my heart

Granted my heart was tainted

By my mind that kept on sayin'

Where's the hits You ain't got none

You know Jay'll never put your album out without none

And dog you know how come

Labels are archaic formulaic with they outcome

They don't know they just study the charts

Me I studied the shows the fans study they hearts

I had a feelin' I was killin' and this music we were spillin' out

Would change lives forever f**k the label put it out

Friday Night Lights blew that was classic number two

Now it seemed as if the Nas comparisons was comin' true

Still no release date from the label are they insane

Gucc told me play the game to change the game

But on the way I let Nas down

I got no one to blame

I'm ashamed I let Nas down

But this is God's plan you can never understand f**k it

Long live the idols may they never be your rivals

'Pac was like Jesus Nas wrote the Bible

Now what you're 'bout to hear's a tale of glory and sin

No I D my mentor now let the story begin

I always believed in the bigger picture

If I could get them n***as to listen outside my core

Then I can open the door

Reintroduce them to honesty show 'em that they need more

The difference between the pretenders and the Kendrick Lamars

And so I took the fall

Like the son of the Lord on the cross

Dyin' for that fake s**t you n***as bought

For the past decade

If I should pass please let this be my last essay

Therefore I write from the heart

Apologies to OG's for sacrificin' my art

But I'm here for a greater purpose

I knew right from the start

I'm just a man of the people not above but equal

And for the greater good I walk amongst the evil

Don't cry Mama this the life I choose myself

Just pray along the way that I don't lose myself

This is for the n***a that said that Hip-Hop was dead

I went to Hell to resurrect it

How could you fail to respect it

Letting Nas down I got the phone call

Quietly I mourned dog I let Nas down

Yeah and on this flight

May I never lose sight f**k it

Long live the idols may they never be your rivals

'Pac was like Jesus Nas wrote the Bible

Now what you just heard's a tale of glory and sin

No I D my mentor now let the story begin
