Just A Moment Lyrics - Singles - Nas And Quan

Can we please have a moment of silence? 

That's for my niggas doin' years in confinement 

And for my soldiers who passed over, no longer living 

That couldn't run whenever the reaper came to get 'em 

Can we please pour out some liquor? 

Symobolizin', let's take in time to consider that 

Though our thugs ain't here, the love is here 

And we gon' rep 'til slugs kill us here 

This for my dawgs stuck in the struggle tryin' to gain 

Smokin' trauma, sniffin' Ra while sellin' cocaine 

Trapped in the game, not knowin' how to stop and get by 

To live it alive, so instead they live it to die 

Can we please have a moment of peace? 

For every G that fell for his flag in the streets 

Bloodin' and thuggin', folkin' and lokin' 

Crypin' and creepin', Latin and kingin' 

Or just for poor righteous teachin' 

As days comes and nights falls 

For the rest of our life we'll miss y'all 

And even though life must go on, we'll still mourn 

While wishin' y'all were home 

As days comes and nights falls 

For the rest of our life we'll miss y'all 

And even though life must go on, we'll still mourn 

While wishin' y'all were home 

Yeah, and can we have another moment of silence? 

For brothers who died from black-on-black violence 

From here to the Dark Continent were rebels sell diamonds 

To clients allover the world, got little Black girls dyin' 

And can we please pour some more liquors? 

For Will, Bokeem, Bar, Pappy, my niggas 

Here's another Warrior Song from Nasty and Quan 

It's to him I pass the baton to carry this on 

Street's Disciple, salute to those who's gone with bullets 

And I promise through rhymin' Quan gon' rep his life to the fullest 

And can we please have a moment of truth? 

For soldiers and troops away with helmets and boots 

And families back home who pray they make it home safe 

Hopin' that they don't get hit with a stray or missiles 

This is just a moment to let you all know that we miss you 

Mommy I'm still here, wishin' I was there with you 

Let's take 'em home 

As days comes and nights falls 

For the rest of our lifes we'll miss y'all 

And even though life must go on, we'll still mourn 

While wishin' y'all were home 

As days comes and nights falls 

For the rest of our lifes we'll miss y'all 

And even though life must go on, we'll still mourn 

While wishin' y'all were home 

And can we please have a moment to mourn? 

For Pac, Biggie and Pun 'cause through us they live on 

Jam Master Jay, Freaky Ty and Aliyah 

Big L and Left Eye, when we die we wish to see ya 

Can we please have a moment for children? 

Who got raped or murdered, or trapped in the system 

Who never knew their father, never learned to dream 

But was guided by drug dealers, killers and crack fiends 

For single mothers that's forced to play mom and dad 

Bustin' her ass to give her kids shit she never had 

For my niggas in the pen hopin' rhymes'll get 'em signed 

So when released, they can say bye to a life of crime 

For every mother that held a son in the street bleedin' 

Cryin' a song of sorrow to dark and deep for speakin' 

Just a moment outside the day to day struggle 

To let the ones we really care about know that we love 'em 

As days comes and nights falls 

For the rest of our life we'll miss y'all 

And even though life must go on, we'll still mourn 

While wishin' y'all were home 

As days comes and nights falls 

For the rest of our life we'll miss y'all 

And even though life must go on, we'll still mourn 

While wishin' y'all were home
