What's The Word - Joe Fox, Nas

All the kids around my way

You bought that flake, get through the day

And I’m inside just countin' blues

Hiding from the TV news

Sex and drugs is all my pleasure

In this little life of leisure

A pretty girl, she don’t believe

Anything she hears or sees

Well, what’s the word on the street?

What’s the word on the street?

What’s the word I need to tell myself

'Cause all these pills, they just ain’t helpin' me

I can’t think or see

Soon in love, we all succumb

You get nine lives and then you’re done

But here they comes, your politician

Stage magician, little difference

Well, what’s the word on the street?

What’s the word on the street?

I said, what’s the word I need to tell myself

'Cause all these pills, they just ain’t helpin' me

Well, what’s the word on the street?

Ah tell me, what’s the word on the street?

What’s the word on street?

Ah tell me, what’s the word on the street?

What’s the word I need to tell myself

'Cause all these pills, they just ain’t helpin' me

I can’t fight the sea

What’s the word I need to tell myself

All these pills, they just ain’t helpin' me
