[Verse 1: Nas]

Uh, I knew a few pharmacists, fuck frozen

They kept pneumonias on their arms and wrists

The main dude, Sekou, face look hard as shit

Remember like yesterday, they were the kings of ecstacy

Kept sellin' it, he blends in everywhere, has a mixed heritage

Bitches let him hit on the reg', waterbed seats in his car

All red ferari, Florida where we met at a redlight

Homeboy bumpin' my old shit

They wildin' with some freaks from the islands

piled in behind him, limosine, Benz

He shouted, "Nas, roll with us"

I'm bored so I followed him

Nikki Beach, here's where the scene begins

He put me on to Don, nice ass with a set of mean twins

Had a pocket full of cash, Sekou wasn't lettin' me spend

I was there for the weekend, packed and prepared for anything

Then he brings me to his castle in Coconut Grove

War stories about dudes both of us know

Never heard drunken words spoken so slow

A year go by, the nigga was fly

Prada shoes, a lotta jewelry, stayed high

Got a call, he's in N.Y

Needs a couple of G's 'til tomorrow, I dips by

for a season where he's at

Greets me with a smile, told him "Here keep that"

Next week got a call from his wife

Said somebody done took son life

[beat changes]

She said



[Nas as Scarlett - repeat 2X]

"Who gon' hold me down now? Hold me down now

Tell me that huh -- who gon' hold me down now?

Who gon' hold me down now? Who gon' hold me down?

Tell me that huh -- who gon' hold me down now"



[Nas as Scarlett]

Forget about them other dudes, they talkin' to me rude

'Cause I always knew the truth, they hated Sekou

H2 full of holes, the drove him off the road

Left him there on this 'cain, clothes stained with his brain

My soul shattered, my man's toe's tagged up

Arrangement's a closed casket

See now a hoe has to, maintain with his fake gang

sheddin' fake tears, I won't have it

Look, this kid's Jamaican -- half Hatian, half Asian

Brag about how the streets needed a changin'

Son, you the only one a bitch could call

You remind me of my dude, help me get them all



[Nas:] "Di-sci-ple" [scratched by DJ 3X]

[Scarlett:] "You remind me of my dude, help me get them all"
