    The hood love you but behind your back they pray for the day
    A bullet hit your heart and ambulances take you away
    That ain't love it's hate, think of all the mothers at wakes
    Whose sons you killed, and you ain't got a cut on your face?


    :ahh:

    I never thought he really ‘fell’ off..I Am was a great album.

    Nastradamus was very lackluster tho :yeshrug:

    Flawless lyricism and one of the best examples of Nas' premier strength: evocative lyricism.

    definition: bringing strong images, memories, or feelings to mind.

    “Unmarked police cars roam the streets hard, the heat is God
    Somebody tell these shorties reach for the stars
    Instead they tell 'em how to reach through the bars, holding a mirror
    Lookin down a tear in jail, making weapons to kill ya”

    Fav Part

    Peace
