The instrumentals in this song have always reminded me of the earlier lyrics of Nas. It makes me think of the ghettos and slums we have in the US. Poor mainly black populated areas that just degress... They're completely ignored by government wether by choice or circumstance. Either way I just saw the people and they are oblivious.. They don't even have the option to progress. Its like theyre dead inside, they live for nothing and their mind.. so weak. The piano reflects the depression it brings
wow homie i actualy digg dis nice remix i like the soothing flow i can just chill n smoke to dis one makes me reminice of my summer in new york im from cali born n raised i was in ny for 3 months dis summer great place to visit lotta history and diversity there realy is no other place like it...but southern cali is where my hearts at

Naw, I like it just how it is, ye it's off beat a little, but I've been listening to this joint so much that I've grown accustomed to it.

would sound great if the lyrics were in time with the beat, slow the lyrics down

I love both Nas and Perquisite (especially his LP with Benjamin Herman) but this is horribly offbeat. Learn to mix, this could've been nice.
