[Verse 1: Nas] Girls I got 'em locked so similar to a prison Hear this monster jam, I be callin' it 'GANGSTERISM' I murder you for dope, I'm the street distributor I'm homicidal, pointin' the pump, scope to shoot you Street connects, Mob ties on East and West We gouge out your eye balls if you seen too much Hopin' out drops wit blings and stuff Wit ball players wives, Mercedes 5 Dangerous lives and haters die rollin' with convicts Conscience who tolerate no nonsense Fake rappers in doo-rags, get shot-up at their concert Your bitch bleed, bitin' her nipples with my chipped tooth I drink her blood, like I'm Dracula, mack in the 6-Coupe The sky becomes red, heard y'all niggaz work with the feds Doesn't matter, blood'll splatter, everybody must dead I got urge for self-reinvention, but I'm old-fashioned From the corner's with the winos laughin' Dealers and five-o blastin' Capitalist thoughts like Presidents I'm burnin' Bush's, Nas the realest, it's nuttin' to fuck wit
[Chorus: Uncredited Female (Nas)] You think you know me but I... (Tell 'em Ma) ..Don't think so (Don't think so) It takes a 'lil more than... (What?, what?) What do you know about me? (See what you don't know me you'll never will) (And what you don't know will get yourself killed) About me (See what you don't know me you'll never will) (And what you don't know will get yourself killed) You'll never know
[Verse 2: Nas] I smoke weed like them sixties rebellions, hippies on heroin Spliffs inhalin', what I speak strictly for felons Dippin' in their 6-4, hittin' the switches Or sittin' in their Bentley Azure's, feelin' the riches Or just ridin', truck drivin' Impalas, Denali's I fuck with those but I lust for silver Ferrari's I fuck hoes with the ceilings, have mirrors to watch me My bed shaped like a pyramid, feelin' the dry heat Spillin' Courvoisi', I'm half slave-master Half Apache, half African, much is what I call us Black men Lead astray, drugs and cups of alcohol, 'cause back when They let us off ships
