And as a special this evening I have America's foremost young poet To his latest poem for us
Ladies and gentlemen, Everybody, him and gentlemen, na-na-Nastradamus We, we, we came a way
and gentlemen, na-na-Nastradamus Everybody him Ladies and gentlemen,
Yo, yo, yo and crime, the thugs slingin' powder and dimes Twenties of D, is yo' niggaz wilder than My niggaz bust nines, lye and stick up cowards For they shine, you resist, you push up flowers
I'm like Lou Cabrasi, best hit-man That's shit, back seat, next lit plans spit, I'm too tough to bargain with And you don't want the God to pull up the cars sick
Arms and wrists is lit up, Kings Plaques awards applause when I do my Streets is black as midnight, the concrete With stains of blood and germ and all day
Come on the ave, get sized up, plus and pray that my guns don't bust your way Niggaz names, livin' off reputation Sometimes gotta you ain't nothin' changin'
Ladies and gentlemen, Everybody, him
If you ill, come get me, 'cause I ain't If gun's off the hook then we'll both be gunnin' Come get me if you real, I ain't scared all fair in love and war and I'm well prepared
If you ill, come get me, I ain't runnin' If your gun's off the hook then we'll both be get me if you real, 'cause I ain't scared It's all in love and we can take it there
You don't like me clown? Now, you take me down? If I bring my face around, you gon' do what? You Your crew I blew up, I been shinin', baseball diamonds rings for your chick lings
Niggaz know my nine pearl handle's about you, say girlie mouth? Get it krunk like the Dirty South And I you see me flossed out, multi mill i your bitch talk about me, you give her the cold eye?
Girls dig you, what she feel for me? You make hot songs, but she know you from me Who ill as me? I wild on in album three Next level, I take y'all to 3-D
Can't find a nigga from Queens I'll be with the most grimy (What nigga?) And they all clean Who put bombs underneath cars, if you beef then start Your stop is to the graveyard
If you ill, come get me, 'cause I ain't If gun's off the hook then we'll both be gunnin' Come get me if you real, 'cause I ain't It's all fair in love and war and I'm prepared
If you ill, come get me, I ain't runnin' If gun's off the hook then we'll both be gunnin' get me if you real, 'cause I ain't scared It's all fair in and we can take it there
You too feminine to kill again, jail got you You talk but you scared to go up North Keep your twisted, but you don't really want nuttin' Talk a bunch of shit and stop frontin'
You don't flip again, and sell drugs again Be on the run again, you at the Comfort Inn up your door, bust in on you and your whore Put y'all in bags, the blood off of the floor
So tough, I want y'all to get out of line I got nines, color shape and design I sent killers every to put one in your spine Two in your ear, get crew, who do I fear? Nobody never get involved and of em dyin'
I think like you do, with about two irons Catch me flyin', in the aircraft winin' And dinin', you die, we laugh, you bitch ass You ass to gauze up, your stab wounds
While I'm gettin' head, in a Lear jet, With all my goons, all my ice, and Full of paper, not money it's statements The Illmatic explains how we rock and co-ops, we buy the hood and sell you a block
If you ill, get me, 'cause I ain't runnin' If your off the hook then we'll both be gunnin' Come get me if you real, 'cause I ain't It's all fair in and war and I'm well prepared
If you ill, come get me, I ain't runnin' If your gun's off the hook then we'll be gunnin' Come get me if you real, 'cause I ain't all fair in love and we can take it there
Ladies and gentlemen, Everybody, him and gentlemen, na-na-Nastradamus We, we, we came a way Ladies and gentlemen, watch him Ladies and gentlemen, Ladies and gentlemen, and gentlemen
