LORD send me a letter from heaven im tellin you you should have already knew i was guna be beggin you to go up wit you i know theres more i have to do while im here and when im through youll be coming soon so if i do what im suppose to do how soon can you come through i dont know if smokin or flowin is the right thing to do but it helps me get through wit what im going through so forgive me ill finish eventually thanks for what you've giving me
I love this song!!!!! I remember this song! When I first heard it, I fell in love with it. It's a great song to think about, listen to, & feel the vibe from. Nas is like one of the "Keepin' It Real" Hip-Hop rappers who don't talk about strip clubs in their songs. Nas talks about life and I bet u that in all of his songs, there's a message us young people need to catch onto and grasp and use as a motivation. Wake up, young people!!!
Life is hard and it ain't fair, either. Thats why some ppl choose different solutions to make their problems disappear, but sometimes, the things they do ends up making them disappear sometimes. I wish life was much easier, but I was born into this cruel world and I have to live on and on until my journal is over. I aint taking any shortcuts because I have to plan my life out right here and right now and it's time for me to plan it. I just wish life was much easier.
"It's unbearable, makin hits is easy, put a famous bitch on a hook and there you go with a platinum CD" isn't that a shot at Laryn Hill? Nas' first album went gold then he put her on "If I Ruled The World" and then he went platinum. I never noticed that before....
Nas is just different. Lyrically, emotionally, spiritually.
Even the time signature of this isn't 4/4 like in 99% of rap; rather, it's 6/8, and the fact that Nas can still make it work whilst still communicating his message sets him a world apart from his contemporaries.
7th grad stillmatic i coped i knew that this nigga was hot 7th track one mic sizzled my brain guided me to dribbling ink on the page while burning sage turn it and i caught another slave. nas b my icon his technice taught me on how to have my poem possess the power of napalm, all i need is 1mic then i'll detonate on sight for now im in the shade havent seen the light. one love. it b slimigeez bitches slim
we dont got artist like diss no more smh :/....u dont hear motivation in songs in people albums no more ....its all bout bout poppin bottles an gettin money
imma rapper i got a couple videos on youtube and i do mixtapes but nas is wat makes me me wanna be a better mc and be lyricle i use to jus ryhmes wit wat ever i could but now i read the dictionary to see wat i words i can ryhmes and i can say that made me a better mc.......thank you nas
@corrado47 You don't get it bro, he's saying heaven is here on Earth. Nas is a 5 percenter and believes that he is god. He believes that everyone is god in their own reality and it's up to you to make your reality into heaven.
"Heaven just a mile away, I'm talking heaven on Earth. Ain't got nothing to do with money, not nothin to do with anything material. I'm talking about heaven in your own heart, in your own world baby, in your own existence"
@TrueDominguez 5% are the people who knows what's going on, 10% are the people who controls the world. 85% are the people who have no clue of what's going on. Like you yourself.
just becuz i dont decide to evaluate my knowledge u assume i dont know whats going on?
ever think i ask questions that i know the answer just 2 to see what other peoples opinions are?
some people like urself assume everyone is dumb becuz of there answer well i assume ur ignorant to psychology n a dumbass if u never thought in this perspective
