40-16 Building

Nas

作曲 : Nasir Jones/Chauncey Hollis Jr

[Intro]

That '70s ******, ****** pressed on

Teflon

[Verse 1]

I got so many kids in the game, it's like a gender revealing

I got that feeling, Lionel Richie, dancin' on the ceilin'

Hope it resemble a Van Gogh when you paint me the villain

The hate is real but you should know that the love is way realer

Crafty with a pen way before I could pack 'em in

Nasty with dreads, a slim teen, young, I was passionate

A brand new book cracklin' sound when you open, I'm writin' gems

I make gospel in the booth it might sound like I'm writin' hymns

Put designer with the Timbs, wow

They wanna run with my style

40-16 Building bussin' 'em down

And the fiends was like employees bringin' customers 'round

Hurricane waters, niggas had dreams of flooding the town

Weather report lookin' rainy but I skate through it daily

In a new grey Mercedes, waterproof Jordan Laneys

I'm sizzlin', scorchin', handsomely how they gotta pay me

Every recording off the head, I’m in the studio lately!

[Chorus]

Nas, Nas

I don't bang but I'm makin' that Crip

Let my ***** run in the Webster while I blaze in the whip

[Verse 2]

Take my quotes, I'm here to give hope

Start a company from one of my phrases

We in the age of lettin' dumb shit kill your kingdom

Body bags for no reason, young shit, blunts lit

Slurring off of the Seagram's, hell with it

Creep through the shadows, eyes wide open, Thai still smokin'

Break screechin', he's tweakin'

He see himself way different than we see him

He speak as if these mean streets was only his region

Shit, everybody’s squeezin'

Niggas know what I came in this game with, I'm not a entertainer

That's just a disclaimer for what I'm 'bout to say

Famous people sayin' they hate bein' famous, millionaires hate it

People take just to feel like they made it

Whoever claim that you changed 'cause the money came

They'd do the same if they saw they name on a hundred thangs

Pardon the haters, it's my billi behavior

If they don't say I'm the G.O.A.T, that's just silly behavior

[Bridge]

It's the ones you grew up with, that's with the dumb shit

They want you slumped 'cause you get love, ain't that some shit?

Twenty trucks at the awards, we be movin' so crazy

I don't buy into the hype, I'm in the studio lately!

It's the ones you grew up with, that's with the dumb shit

They want you slumped 'cause you get love, ain't that some shit?

Twenty trucks at the awards, we be movin' so crazy

I don't buy into the hype, I'm in the studio lately!

[Chorus]

Nas, Nas

I don't bang but I'm makin' that Crip

Let my ***** run in the Webster while I blaze in the whip

[Outro]

I'm outta here

I told niggas I was in rare form on the last album

I ain't playin' out here

It's not a game, woo!
