*Nas- 

Took you from the projects 

With the best clothes in your closet 

Like ginger from casino and now you a pro 

We was like joe damazio and marylin monrow 

All your jelious girlfriends hatin' watin' 

So I put the cards in your hand 

All I know when nas was your man it was so real 

Boats through sixis 

Special japnees chefs makin home cooked dishes 

Planin trips invisable sets, you know what you missin 



*j lo- 

It's funny 'cause for a while 

I walked around with a smile 

But deep inside I could hear voices telling me this ain't right 

Don't you know it's not for you 

I always knew what I had to do 

But it's hard to get away 

Because I love you 

I just tried to stay 



I used to say I couldn't do it 

But I did it 

After telling everybody that I wasn't with it 

Though it brings tears to my eyes 

I can feel it 

And I know inside I'm gonna be alright 

I said I couldn't do it 

But I did it 

After telling evreybody that I wasn't with it 

Though it brings tears to my eyes 

I can feel it 

And that voice inside says im gonna be alright 



*j lo- 

Friends of mine say to me 

They say you got control over me 

You're not alone 

I played a part 

I saw the way you were from the start 

Could I expect so much from you 

You had a girl when I first met you 

Did the best that you could do 

Now I realize that I can't change you 



I used to say I couldn't do it 

But I did it 

After telling everybody that I wasn't with it 

Though it brings tears to my eyes 

I can feel it 

And I know inside I'm gonna be alright 

I said I couldn't do it 

But I did it 

After telling evreybody that I wasn't with it 

Though it brings tears to my eyes 

I can feel it 

And that voice inside says im gonna be alright 



*j lo- 

Said I wouldn't walk away 

Somedays I want to stay 

But leaving you is what I need to do to be okay 

Never thought it would be true 

Me livin' without you 

But now it's time for me to make a move 



*nas- 

Nobody understand me im delin' with presure 

My peoples locked in the jail cel with no bail stresure 

Guess it's the life of a king, pimp, rap, stephen king 

Rap bling like neon lights, we gonna be alright 

But its like you feelin me less and claim im acting like a retard right? 

Me and my boys we start fights 

And will I mature you scream im in the streets all night 

And where was I at you find light brown and tears on my hat 

Its so cold 



I used to say I couldn't do it 

But I did it 

After telling everybody that I wasn't with it 

Though it brings tears to my eyes 

I can feel it 

And I know inside I'm gonna be alright 

I said I couldn't do it 

But I did it 

After telling evreybody that I wasn't with it 

Though it brings tears to my eyes 

I can feel it 

And that voice inside says im gonna be alright
