Ay yo this is Nas Rockin' with 大支 Ay yo forget the naysayers We refuse to listen Here we go When I was just a young man Slung grams, carry heaters They gave more pain than sunburn Suntans, blunts burn, gunman Lost, a boss too slick to ever be caught In the hood I was good At least that's what I thought In the streets I'm taught to hide my emotions Conceal my intentions and take precautions Exhaust pipes on Benz's Coughing black smoke Devotion to rap I wrote enough to capsize a large boat Snakes grabbin' at my throat And haters be stormin' But my joy still comes in the morning I had to listen And understand the power of words To see my potential to get what I deserve They wanted me to self-destruct But I just kept going I saw the bigger picture And concepts was growin' Every dream is possible No one can deny me On top is where you'll always find me Nas
