Queens Wolf - Nas

At 14, tried out for the ball team

Junior high, they denied me

I shot bricks that made the backboard scream

Fightin' Italian rival gangs, they were sniffin' glue

I was skippin' school, smokin' green, that was the shit to do

Stole somebody’s team jacket, slept through my classes

The borough of Queens, so it’s rep the Q to the casket

Average student had delusions of the supernatural

Horror movie addict, Werewolf fanatic and Drucul

One night after school when train hoppin' and snatching jewels

I dozed at midnight, I woke up a little after 2

My hands shook violently, my eyes took red

My hair spun in waves, bread was the only word I said

I heard voices and the nights callin'

Them Benz engines roarin'

Heard that gin and champagne pourin' and n****s ballin'

I put the .22 on my waist, the face and the moon had a mean look

I transformed to the Queens Wolf

You can hear me growlin' through public housin'

No tellin', might wake up in Queens House or Rikers Island

A Queens Wolf

Ladies wanna get beside him

If haters try bustin' the silver bullet inside him, they dyin'

They hear me growlin' through public housin'

No tellin', might wake up in Queens House or Rikers Island

A Queens Wolf

Ladies wanna get beside him

If haters try bustin' the silver bullet inside him, they dyin'

Waking up is a pleasure, though last night I can’t remember

Cash up on my dresser, where’d it come from?

This is messed up

What kind of fatal drug am I taking?

Who laced it?

Previous night memories, who erased 'em?

Wasn’t even wasted

I do recall the nightfall, lunar, the stars around it

Then my man called, said what I did, the goons are talkin' 'bout it

Singing me praises, said I lit the corners up

It sounded like Vietnam, screaming out QB and I’m the loudest

Homey, them dudes is scared, you gon' spray 'em, word to Bing

They’ll do anything, pay you real good to be on their team

So that explain the money and the chains that’s on my dresser drawer

That wasn’t there the day before, I suppress 'em all

But I be on some cool shit, nigga, my QU shit

Audemar watch, burn a peach Swish, new whip

Stoli vodka, club soda with my new chick

Ah shit, teeth showin, snarling when the moon’s lit

You can hear me growlin' through public housin'

No tellin', might wake up in Queens House or Rikers Island

A Queens Wolf

Ladies wanna get beside him

If haters try bustin' the silver bullet inside him, they dyin'

They hear me growlin' through public housin'

No tellin', might wake up in Queens House or Rikers Island

A Queens Wolf

Ladies wanna get beside him

If haters try bustin' the silver bullet inside him, they dyin'
