Last Real Nigga Alive Lyrics - God's Son - Nas

[Intro] 

Uh, uh, uh, uh

Lord have mercy, Jesus Christ

[Nas] 

Y'all don't know about my Biggie wars 

Who you thought 'Kick In The Door' was for? 

But that's my heart, y'all still trippin of this Jigga shit 

Real niggas listen up and I'mma tell you how the whole thing start 

Off top I brung Queens up from hard times 

Rockin at the Fever, streets was all mine 

It was my version of the blues, droppin our schools 

The crack epidemic had rap representin new rules 

So I, got in em shoes, tried em wore them 

Wasn't a perfect fit, so I couldn't sport em 

Young murderers ride, I knew all them 

Jungle got shot, Will died, we was warring 

I wrote it in my album 

I was 18 when Lake seen the Island 

And Lord held me down and 

My surroundings started changing 

I had a baby, I was making my rounds with AZ 

Niggas started noticing my flow and was open when 

The Golden Child closed em in with more style than them older men 

Puff tried to start a label, Prince Rakeem had formed Wu-Tang 

Snoop and Dre had a new thang 

So Puff drove his new Range through Queensbridge Projects 

He let me drive it, before Ready to Die hit 

BIG and I hit blunts performing at the Arc 

Next thing you knew, BIG blew and all the balling starts 

He had Kim and his crew, I found Fox, only niggas in New York with number 

one charts 

BIG was ahead of his time, him and Raekwon my niggas 

But dig it, they couldn't get along 

That's when Ghostface said it on the Purple tape 

Bad Boy biting Nas album cover way(?) 

BIG told me Rae was stealing my slang 

And Rae told me out in Shaolin BIG would do the same thing 

But I borrowed from both them niggas 

Jigga started to flow like us, but hit with 'Ain't No Niggas' 

Had much Versace swagger 

BIG admired the Brooklyn knight and it took him in as Iceberg the rapper 

Today don't know nothing, about this bullshit 

There's more shit than wanting to be this King of New York shit 

[Chorus 2x]

Rap became a version of Malcom and Martin 

Rest In Peace Will, Queensbridge live on 

There's some ghetto secrets I can't rhyme in this song 

There's some missing pieces I had to leave out 

I had lot trust for Steve Stoute 

At some point till I got to know him 

We old friends, but what's loyal? 

Puff soaked Interscope offices 

With champagne bottles on Steve, and Steve thought the drama is on me 

Cause previously it would have been, against whoever 

Friends forever 

However, I learn, with some niggas it's all business 

But I'm a street dude with morals 

To diss niggas with Jigga too much, he used to say Jay wanted my spot 

I laughed, stayed home, never hung a lot 

A quiet man who used to be alone planning 

Baby moms thought I was too quiet, couldn't stand it 

She hit the streets, later on she hittin the sheets 

With a rapper who wanted me on his songs, thinking he strong 

I taught her how to watch for cars that might follow 

Tauht her street shit that I know 

Her weakness was shine yo 

But that's her, I ain't mad baby, it made me stronger 

Now I get my paper longer 

Illmatic I was boss 

It Was Written I flossed 

One of the most creative LPs ever to hit stores 

In the Firm I learned I am Nastradamus 

QB's Finest, Oochie Wally, faced more problems 

I gave it all up so I can chill at home with mama 

She was getting old and sick so I stayed beside her 

We had the best times, she asked would I make more songs 

I told her not till I see her health get more strong 

In the middle of that, Jay tried to sneak attack 

Assasinate my character, degrade my hood 

Cause in order for him to be the Don, Nas had to go 

The Gam-B-I-N-O rules I understood 

What you want, see, I already had 

The Gift and The Curse? Fuck that shit, the first shall be last 

I'm the man's man, a rapper's rapper 

G-O-D S-O-N, they'll be none after 

I was Scarface, Jay was Manolo 

It hurt me when I had to kill him and his whole squad for dolo (for dolo 

echoes) 

[Outro] 

Uh, Uh, Uh 

[Chorus 2X]
