Nas: Yo  Yo
 Puffy: Gansta  Gansta
 Nas: Gansta Yo
 Puffy: That's Right
 Nas: Journey Through the life of some real niggas
 Puffy: Some real niggas  You'll never see what I've seen

 Puffy:
 When I sleep I dream of bodies in streams of blood
 Naked bitches  dead niggas ghost
 Feds with toast knockin my door down
 Sweat poor down  my body roast from the heat
 So I soak my sheets, wake up shiverin'
 Pull my hoe close to me, she sexy
 Every night is different pussy, since my girl left me
 And I tried to make her stay with me, but I stay busy
 And her friends are cut-throats, they deep throat to lay with me
 I reminise how I missin starin' in space
 Resort to the lips of a stripper, sprayin' that face
 Layin up in a mansion, home alone
 I hear footsteps, shit I kicks just not lyrics
 I hold a fifth, One hundred and ten shots can stop spirits
 If niggas try to rob me, then I won't hear it
 Cause it's different from the streets, I'm missin' my hood now
 Missin' all the blocks, I'm surrounded by woods now
 It's supposed to be good now
 It's like I'm walkin' tight rope and can't look down
 Fire below me
 Now the fantasies I have for women are unholy
 Success, thousand dollar bottles impress
 Models with fat ass and big breats
 Floor seats, Knicks vs. Nets, private jets
 Millionaire heir to Antigua
 With Ananda, the MTV diva
 Nas how do we survive all this mess?
 East vs. West, this rap game
 Where words became flesh
 A whole pound of herb won't desolve my stress
 Still I ride to the death, love hip-hop
 Cause Afrikabababa was def, a lot of respect
 Feel Me? Thug tip from Sean John jury
 I got the same hands of crap platinum and the crap pyramids
 Write about the black experience, sell it to Marimax
 Tell me if you feelin' that

 Chorus- Lil' Kim & Joe Hooker

 Take a journey through the life of these real niggas
 The things that they seen it would thrill niggas
 If you've seen what they've seen, you would wonder
 Through the rain and the pain and the thunder
 By the time you realized that it's goin' down
 You would find yourself going underground
 When we see that this life is upon us
 We would see that there is no one that we can trust

 Beanie Sigel:
 You can never see what I see motherfucker

 Beanie Sigel the realest nigga from the streets was taught
 Stay cased up, nigga stay deep in court
 Reminisin' on that cold cell, deep in thought
 Gettin' skinny, couldn't eat, cause the meat was pork
 Ya'll niggas couldn't live my life, I've been through it
 Streached up in hospital beds, phat fluid
 Two bullets hit my leg, one passed through it
 Saw the blood and the hole in my calf, looked through it
 My life's no joke, I done played dice with Tote
 Upstate for cakes, niggas slice your throat
 We had boxers in the shower, when you gaurd your soap
 I done seen the biggest niggas in the yard get broke
 I done took blocks to war, took blocks ruval
 Took blocks to Wall for box of raw
 What you think the 33 and the glock is for?
 Black fatigues, skullies and binoculars, C4 block your doors
 Niggas can't stop this war
 I show you faggots what the Swatch is for
 Hidding spots in the door for the glocks is for
 Read the paper, '94 I took the cops to war
 Half of ya'll niggas livin' a lie
 The only reason you switchin up Detroit is cause you keep gettin' robbed

 I look that nigga in the eyes before I send him to god
 Beanie Sigel, desert eagle, the realest nigga alive

 Chorus

 Nas:
 Aiyo, Aiyo, Gansta, Gansta

 The Bible as words that Christ wrote, evil men sacrifice goats
 I speek all my life under oath
 Since a kid, troublesome, thrown shit at little girls jumpropes
 Bustin' B-B Guns at stray cats
 That was way back, watched it die, covered in flies
 Then I picked up a stick, try to dig in it's eyes
 Makin' dirt pies, na, being buggied eye shit
 And every other nigga that rap, sound like my shit
 I wear chrome 45's with ice on the grip
 I don't shoot it, I roll with killers and criminals
 With heroin habits they picked up from the penil
 They let you have it, all I do is give them a smile
 Lifestlyes of the realest, you ain't ruthless you bitch
 I got a pine box just your size, I know it'll fit
 Your whole life's a mistake, stop holdin' the pen
 Kill yourself, come back as a man over again
 Cause in this lifetime I'm reignin' , slay men
 Leave your whole body cold
 Your nails grow long, get gray skin
 Made this nigga rest in peace, Amen
 I run with brave men, without the housin', we wilin'
 Names engraved in the pavement
 Brick buildin, grown ladies, jump off the roof
 Nigga get paged, then murdered at the phonebooth
 New York streets made me nigga, it's crazy nigga

 Chorus to fade
