America Lyrics

Nas Talking - yo... its like waking up from a bad dream..
just to figure out you weren't dreaming in the first place.]


If all I saw was gangsters
Coming up as a youngster
Pussy and money the only language I clung ta
Claim ta, unrolled myself up to become one
Ain't ya happy I chose rap
I'm amongst tha
Streets deceiving
Can't believe my achievements
Cultural strata
Persona's that of a non-needer
Because I don't need nada except for Prada beaver
For cold winters, tattoos got my summer's sleeveless
To my g's on the flee from the coppers
Stiff bodies on freeze in funeral parlors
From the slums I come up a phoenix
Caked up, tryna take what I'm eating
Came up a dismissive kid
You lucky if you allowed to witness this
Savvy mouth
Wild, hardly
A man's man
Who woulda knew the beach houses and wild parties
Jezebel's and Stella McCartney's
For years, all that
How could I not be dead
This old German
Said I was a thug with a notty head
Looked at my Benz and called that a Nazi sled
With a face like he wonder where I got my bread
Probably all these stones he see
From my shows overseas
From crime to rhyme
My stories is I'm from the home of the thieves
Blessed
The lord is a g, he gotta be
Who's the God of suckers and snitches
The economy
Lipstick from Marilyn Monroe
Blew a death kiss to Fidel Castro
He'd want me to spit this
Only the strong survive
Nas bear witness
The hypocrisy is all I can see
White cop acquitted for murder
Black cop cop a plea
That type of shit make me stop and think
We in chronic need of a second look of the law books
And the whole race dichotomy
Too many rappers, athletes, and actors
But not enough niggas in NASA
Who give you the latest dances, trends, and fashion
But when it comes to residuals, they look past us
Woven into the fabric, they can't stand us
Even in white tee's, blue jeans, and red bandanas

Assassinations
Diplomatic relations
Killed indigenous people
Built a new nation
Involuntary labor
Took a knife split a woman naval
Took her premature baby
Let her man see you rape her
If I could travel to the 1700's
I'd push a wheelbarrow full of dynamite
Through your covenant
Love to sit in on the Senate
And tell the whole government
Y'all don't treat women fair
She read about herself in the bible
Believing she the reason sin is here
You played her, with an apron
Like bring me my dinner, dear
She the nigger here
Ain't we in the free world
Death penalty in Texas kill young boys and girls
Barbarity, I'm in the double-R casually
Bugging how I made it out the hood, dazzle me
How far we really from third world savagery
When the empire fall, imagine how crazy that'll be

@PatTheRiot Within the NASA lyric is where is criticized blacks as a whole for that exact thing you are saying. He's saying the race is too busy trying to make dances or fashions instead of focusing on intellectual advancements and achievements. After that when he refers "they", he means "they" think we dont have the potential to do things like be in NASA, when blacks are more than able. You misunderstood the message of it lol

[PatTheRiot]

@VINCEJisSONiCtheMC Actually I think you're the one missing my point, After the NASA lyric he follows by blaming "they" (most likely white people) looking past us. "Who brings you the latest dances, trend and fashion". Well maybe if "you" would put more work into your brains other than materialistic appearances you'd have more "niggas" in the NASA. lol. What because you start a fashion or dance you should be allowed in the hall of fame of intellectuals? really? lol.

[VINCEJisSONiCtheMC]

@PatTheRiot That's exactly what Nas is saying son lol. You missed the whole point lol

[PatTheRiot]

Just throwing it out there but, maybe if black people we're less into fashion and spending all thier money on sneakers instead of investing in their kids and their education, they'd be more "niggas" in the NASA. lol. Just sayin' Nas boy.
