 It was a murder
 Jake just hit the corner people swarming
 Three in the morning I jumped out my cab like "Fuck  
 niggaz is buck " mega bloodshed  the tapes red
 I heard some bird whisper  "Yo he should have ducked"
 I puffed the lilla  just before I hit the scene for rilla
 I'm all high it's late I'm looking down at the fella
 Shit's pushed in  ambulance placed him on some cushion
 His mom's had a stare I wouldn't dare second look when I murk
 It hurt, kind of took it as a brief reminder
 that the street's designed to stop your life, plot
 The beast in time yeah, cell to cell suspect ass nigga you fell
 First time locked in crime stop my mind blocks the frail
 Bursting blasting at your forty cal shell, split your dry cell
 My niggas never snitch why tell
 We roll with no regrets, destiny's, fifty's and equities
 Queens'll be the death of me

 Chorus:

 To the suspect witness don't come outside
 You might get your shit pushed back tonight
 (Suspect witness don't come outside
 You might get your shit pushed back tonight)

 Chorus

 [Nas]
 Dear God, I want the riches, money hungry bitches infested
 Giving the jealous niggas sickness, the witness
 My crew dresses, in vest-es, feel the essence
 Try to test this, scientist, able and reckless
 Slaughter, Nautica'd down, frames look petite
 Ten millis, mix designed just for my physique
 I keep a low pro as if I owe, bless the flow lovely
 My pants hang low while I'm dancing, sipping the bubbly
 Hey, me no worry, hashish keep my eyes Chinese
 Rollin two Phillies together make blunts Siamese
 I meant it, I represent it, descendant made of
 early natives that were captured and taught to think backwards
 Trapped us in a cracker psychiatric, it's massive
 A Million Man March, alert the masses
 Ten glocks, Armani in small print, upon my glasses
 Don assassins, armageddon, the wettin'
 Never freakin the beast, seven heads, got the righteous threatened
 Life Was Written, the plot curves behind the settin'
 Comprehend the grammar, Manfrione -- are you the type of nigga
 to shoot a leg to get your name known? I flip the brain tome
 Niggaz get hit and wrap the plastic
 The mic I strike in vain givin the pain of what a Mack is
 What you with? Luchi or drama, no sleep means insomnia
 No need to check the clock, the streets are timin you

 Chorus

 [Nas]
 It justifies, Nas Escobar's leavin shit mesmerized
 Mega live, like the third world
 Decipher my deceiver make him a believer
 Spitting jim stars, words in my mic ttype receiver
 Bond is my life so I live by my word
 Never fraudulent Queensbridge don't make no herbs
 Spread my name to deacons, politicians while they speakin
 Rebel to America civilization caught you sleepin

 * talkin to fade
