NAS 🎤🎤🎤🎤

THE OMERTA

We the examples, we who we said we was

Never faked it, ones who wore jewelry they couldn't play with

The ones who stayed rich

Details of my revolutionary ways, probably get studied, some CIA shit

Who has true power? The Torah or synagogue leaders?

Qur'an readers or palm readers?

Witch-crafters or Christian pastors?

Rich rappers, Marx said "Religion's the opiate of the masses"

When Nas says, I got thoughts as if a therapist said

What time you want to learn what's in my head

Well, I'm reclining, I'm just stating facts as I respond like when the army walks

With assault rifles near army bases far beyond New York

On foreign blocks like Hamas, guys in emergency triage

Extended magazine knock targets off

Heart beating stops, car speeding, cops pull you over

To check for warrants, so give your best performance

Nobody got time for petty in the city of bosses

Sirens is my psychiatry office

This morning I woke feeling great, so I went to an auction

To get lost in a different scene, spent the ticket on art

So interesting, a painting of a fiend in Hudson Yard

Another painting was black natives before Central Park

You know the claims, this was all natives' terrain

And the year was like 16 something, so could this mean hustling

Began when the Indian finessed the Dutchman

With opium on horseback? This way before crack

We always been the Mecca for supply and demand

In every era ledgers in this land was going hand in hand, damn

It's mind boggling who we are, the modern kings

It get spooky in Harlem, Bronx, Brooklyn, and all of Queens

And Staten Island, real type shit

Dying species of real men, I feel that shit, yeahAS
