[Noreaga]
 
 yo, Nori know this, and Nori know that
 
 but Nori know gat (why)
 
 cause Nori buck dat
 
 Iraq'll make you famous
 
 throwing gang signs like it's sign language
 
 distinguish us from the others
 
 kidnap your baby mothers
 
 bringing drama to the deep covers
 
 salute g, bust you down like a lucie
 
 Jose probably lay with a gold uzi
 
 crunk Italy, Africa and Sicily
 
 niggaz acting sissy see
 
 pointing guns and missing me
 
 (Nas:  "Yo son, it's on son")
 
 hey yo there's beef in the hood again
 
 niggaz came with hoods again
 
 thinking that it woulda been
 
 saw us, from what we first did
 
 when we did
 
 now we twist another wig, a mother lose another kid
 
 but it's beef now, keep it short
 
 real brief now
 
 strike vigorous, no intentions of missing it
 
 they sent the message, or example, whatever
 
 set it up man on man
 
 only to score we apply the plan
 
 quickly explain why you ran in this dark land
 
 we lay you down in the sand
 
 on the lines like the internet
 
 many would come if you would pose off
 
 against my set, there ain't a nigga yet
 
 smoke so much, niggaz say I need nicarette
 
 you say bogie but you used to say cigarette
 
 nine-oh, a new religion, a new beginning
 
  
  [chorus]
 
 I'm leaving
  
 
 baby don't go
 
 I know the block is hot
 
 boo I'll watch your spot
  
 
 I'm leaving
 
 sweetie don't leave
 
 I need you to stay with me (come on)
  
 
 uh huh, uh, uh
 
 uh huh, uh, uh
 
 I'm leaving
  
 
 boo I can't understand
  
 
 and don't think that I'll be back again
  
 
 [Nature]
 
 it's like a bad dream
 
 and I can't wake up
 
 mouth caked up
 
 knowing these cats is fake fucks
 
 and it ain't right
 
 with no love, them hugs ain't tight
 
 son we used to pop bottles and slugs the same night
  
 
 [Noreaga]
 
 hey yo they left me
 
 right hand damaged and I ain't lefty
 
 couldn't bust when I's supposed to pull
 
 what I'm supposed to do?
 
 lay down, watch these niggaz spray me
 
 or maybe
 
 we strike accurate
 
 blaze them plus they ladies
  
 
 [Nature]
 
 I woulda never thought we'd ever get caught
 
 in this way of life
 
 prosecution, if you violate a player's rights
 
 say it twice
 
 Nature soon to be engraved in ice
 
 hanging off my neck
 
 glistens like it's framed in light
  
 
 [Noreaga]
 
 niggaz call me Jose
 
 shootin the Artie Clay
 
 Benedict Arnold type
 
 getting this rap loot
 
 still selling China White
 
 either Allah or Christ
 
 married to marijuana
 
 now my niggaz don't write
 
 (still ice, still living this life)
  
 
 [chorus]
  
 
 [Nature]
 
 you got the nerve to say that Nature's slipping?
 
 the greatest vision
 
 bald-head kid
 
 Cartier frames, the latest Pippens
 
 doggystyle was my favorite position
 
 until I switched it, dead shit
 
 got on some head shit
 
 headed in the wrong direction up in the Sheraton
 
 QB to LA still puffing my medicine
 
 for those lost in the streets up north or deceased
 
 for those struggling unfortunate to eat
 
 I dedicate this, tell me right now how do you rate
 
 this?
 
 whatever happened to the mule and the 40 acres
 
 it's outrageous, the way the god finesse the basics
