Real Niggas - Nas, Ruc

Ruk:

Ill Will… yeah yeah yo… Queensbridge niggas… crud love baby.

Verse 1: (Ruk)

Aiyo, I zone out

Feelin' like I’m in Capone’s house

Starin' at Manhattan and The Bridge with the chrome out

Ki’s on the table, black tanktop, long cable

Thoughts of overtakin' the table

Dismantle and disable

Verbal, made fatal, what drug paper do

Straight duct tapin', apin' a few

Takin' Mo' and Henny straight and things loose

Puffin' the fruits, thug in a duece

Flaggin', pants saggin', fuckin' ya goose

I’m like nothin' to you

Dumpin' the Rug' and your group in a red coog'

Jump in the Isuzu and cruise

Blank tints, bulletproof, red Timb boots

Nigga loose, license plate screamin' «Fuck you»

Drunken days, I wish ya’ll knew

Thug dreams, what it means to you

Red seams, triple beams

40 inch blings, Ill Will the fuckin' team

This for my niggas in the Bridge from Queens

Chorus (Nas)

Verse 2: (Nas)

Bumpy Johnson style, old timers, crocodile shoes

Pinky rings, big rounders with tools, bossin' wild crews

Slacks, overlaps, applejack hats quarterfield coats

Cadillacs with white walls and chrome wheel spokes

They were organized, investin', had a piece of the hood

They had drugs, bettin' numbers, police understood

They played the Cotton club, red carpet, hoes on they arm

Plush mink, pimped out gangsta, civil rights wasn’t won

Every Christmas they were Santa Claus, Nixon was the Anti-Christ

Bitches asses were bigger then, sniffin' nose candy white

Listenin' to Malcolm speak, talcum powder, shaving cream

Layin' back, barber chair, straight razor clean

Babies were born, big families started to blossom

Mad people just applied for apartments and got 'em

Used to be rules to this game of hustlers and dealers

From Tommy guns to MAC Tens it’s Q.B.'s newborn killers

Verse 3: (Ruc)

96 buildings of children, guns, and bad feelings

Q.B.

see we rep by the Millions

Each block, ten spots, a hundred different villians

In abundance my dunnettes run this drug dealin'

Stash the jums in hallway ceilings

Gangsta paradise, watch the ice, nigga make a killin'

In the cut on the steps yo gettin' good neck

Only in the projects, we die with respect

Pussy niggas quiet as kept will riot the set

Six blocks of real niggas vexed

Assorted irons and vests, stress on they chest

20 half a G’s on Henny, Son, the whole hood is wet

In memory of… who's next?

Train they set, lend they Teck, earn your check

Nigga, you better rep

Real niggas come out the projects

40 to the 41st, Vernon to the 12th
