Nas - Cherry Wine lyrics

About this lyric:
Cherry Wine is a song by American rapper Nas, taken from his eleventh studio album, "Life Is Good". The track, produced by Salaam Remi, features vocals by Amy Winehouse.
The song was titled after Winehouse's guitar, which she called "cherry".
In the Jay Martin-directed video, haunting projections of the late soulstress performing the track appear on the brick wall of a dimly lit bar room. Nas plays an emotionally tortured bartender, who spends the night watching his fantasy girl being courted by several men in the bar.

Where is he The man who was just like me I heard he was hiding somewhere I can't see Where is he The man who was just like me Heard he was hiding somewhere I can't see And I'm alone and I realize that when I get home I wanna go through my red and my cherry Yes I'm alone and I realize when I get home I wanna go through my red and my cherry [Verse 1: Nas] I want someone who like the champagne I like My a-alike Someone to talk me off the bridge any day or night She teach me how to live, she ain't afraid of life Not easily impressed with the rich and famous life Cause she done been there and heard all the rumors before She loves art, she ride out with me on my music tour She like the herb's natural medicine She cooking good She tell me everything is cool when it ain't looking good For real, the world so ill Yo I want a girl so real Who not after material wealth but get dough still Or maybe an educator, a lady with etiquette Who can be from out the hood or even work for the President As long as there's no selfishness Yes, as long as her love for the people is deep rooted and evident You can be easily recruited, you're heaven sent Your smile put me at ease You're the woman I need but where is she [Refrain] [Verse 2: Nas] I hate when people write me hostile texts on account of my lifestyle's perception Invade my personal life Out of the question, what are they expecting I be trying to reply and they never suppose I get my quiet time in They think forever I'm rolling in dough Swimming in a pool of cash God, wouldn't they know or am I a fool or ass I'm well known, got people coming at me mad I had to tell homes I don't keep a cell phone, my bad I drag off the L and try to silence it The noise in my head The curse of the talented Strong communicator, vagabond I'd gallivant around the equator If that would get me off the radar It's so intense, I'm on my Lilo and Stitch Pour my Pinot Grigio and Cris with some lime what is this An immaculate version of Me and My Bitch by Biggie With all respect cause you the only one that gets me [Refrain] [Bridge: Nas] Yeah, yeah, let's pour some cherry wine Everything's good, everything's fine Yeah, yeah we bring it every time Yeah, pour a little cherry wine Yeah, Hey yo Salaam, yea, I think they know the time Everything's good, everything's fine Yeah, pour a little cherry wine, yeah Life is good, life is good, yeah Life is good, no matter what Life is good, life is good Life is good, yeah No matter what Life is good [Refrain]
