These are last words of a hanging slave
 How could I forget this
 I rob you put you on my hit list
 Under my nails are dirty look at the grime
 My burnt lips from the roach clips
 How can I shine
 Being broke and bag a dope bitch
 Powerful mind we brave men
 I blow smoke and I'ma keep sayin

 [Nashawn]
 These are last words of a hanging slave
 How can I forget this
 I rob you put you on my hit list
 Under my nails is dirty look at the grime
 My burnt lips from the roach clips
 How can I shine
 Being broke and bag a dope bitch
 Powerful minds we brave men
 I'ma blow smoke and keep sayin
 I wanna be more than that bullet that go through ya zone
 Wanna be the lead that tear through ya skin and crack bones
 Wanna be the heat you feel makin ya moan
 Wanna be the hospital bed that you lay on
 Wanna be the god you feel when you pray-on
 It's Nashawn the type that get the hyper-con
 I'm gonna kill something
 Rap cats be real frontin
 Fuck shootin legs
 Cock back put his brains on the pave
 Nigga how bout that
 Close range with the gadge get payed
 First rapper to shoot off stage
 Turn the front page the next day my life is like a book
 A twenty four hour song without no hook
 Millennium Thug computer chips up in my slug
 Turn quarters when you turn quarters know who to plug
 Thugs around me outside its grimmy outside
 Better slide before you get bodied outside

 (Chorus)
 [Nas]
 These are last words of a hanging slave
 How could I forget this
 I rob you put you on my hit list
 Under my nails are dirty look at the grime
 My burnt lips from the roach clips
 How can I shine
 Being broke and bag a dope bitch
 Powerful mind we brave men
 I blow smoke and I'ma keep sayin

 [Nashawn]
 These are last words of a hanging slave
 How could I forget this
 I rob you put you on my hit list
 Under my nails is dirty look at the grime
 My burnt lips from the roach clips
 How can I shine
 Being broke and bag a dope bitch
 Powerful minds we brave men
 I blow smoke and keep sayin

 [Nas]
 I'ma prison cell six by nine
 Livin hell stone wall metal bars for the gods in jail
 My nickname the can, the slammer, the big house
 I'm the place many fear cause there's no way out
 I take the sun away put misery instead
 When you wit me most folks consider you dead
 I saw too many inmates fallin apart
 Call for the gods and let them out when it's dark
 Convicts think they alone but if they listen close
 They can hear me groan touch the wall feel my pulse
 All the pictures you put up is stuck to my skin
 I hear ya prayers (even when ya whisperin)
 I make it hotter in the summer colder in the winter
 If the court paroal ya then another con enters
 No remorse for your tears I seen em too often
 When you cry I make you feel alive inside a coffin
 Watch you when you eat play with you mind when you sleep
 Make you dream that you free then make you wake up to me
 Face to face with a cage no matter your age
 I can shatter you turn you into a savage in rage
 Change ya life that's if you get a chance to get out
 Cause only you and I know what sufferings about
 Yo it's stunning when bed sheets become your woman
 And I'm the one that gotcha weapons when the beef is comming
 Maybe one day I'll open up my arms to release you
 You'll always be my property nigga stay legal

 (Chorus
