Hope - Nas

Lyrics

words to study

feat. Chrisette Michele)

[Intro: Chrisette Michele]

Hip-Hop - it will never die

Hip-Hop - Hip-Hop will never, never die

[Verse 1: Nas]

Ghetto niggaz struttin' with nothin' but dreams and Queens broke

Mack-10's, you can smell the PCP smoke

Mele Mel told it real in the music he wrote

Those were the days I remember

We used to be close, then I was nine, coldest winter I remember

Was slippin' in December, two feet of snow

Yeah, that's the East Coast, that black ice

Symbolized the rap life

It was slick and smooth

I understood I had to come from the hood

Doin' the Pee Wee Herman, the Smurf

Before them phones chirped

The block's drugs flowin', didn't have your own work

You had to have somebody else's, a small chrome on your pelvis

Starter Jacket, Blue Georgetown or Green Celtic

Your girl's too expensive, she wants shellfish

Red Lobster was poppin', standin' on that line forever

I wish somebody would step on my Bally leather's

Now it's whatever... hip-hop's forever

Kept my radio on 98 or BLS

Had a pre-pubescent lyric gift but niggaz never hear me spit

My little brother tried to warn 'em, I was a tornado comin'

He knew from inside, like the eye of a storm

And told my pops about it

He gave us tickets to that Wild Style flick
