Nas "One Love"...

[zerozero]

So I'm in the kitchen, getting my caffeine fix, from loose leafs and all that brehs, not that black lipton teabag juice, nah I'm talking that scalding hot tea with milk and sugar and all that that warms you down to your gut, anyway...

All of a sudden (after about an year?) One Love from Illmatic comes on rotation in my headphones...



And Q-Tip's sample from The Heath Brothers kicks in and I'm anticipating like...

"Plus congratulations, I heard you got a son..."


This is art brehs
This is a goddamn song
Fukk what gets shaking in the club, fukk what bumps in the truck , this is ABOUT BEING HUMAN

THANK YOU BASED ESCO

Nas is awesome!!

Shorty's laugh was cold blooded as he spoke so foul
Only twelve trying to tell me that he liked my style
Then I rose, wiping the blunts ash from my clothes
Then froze only to blow the herb smoke through my nose

I'll be his daddy if there's nobody there to love it
Tell him his name's Nasir
Tell him how he got here
Mama was just having fun with someone above her years
nikkas is still hating
Talking that Nas done fell off with rhyming
He'd rather floss with diamonds
They pray "please God let him spit that Uzi in the army lining
That shorty doo-wop rolling oo-wop in the park reclining"
