What Goes Around Lyrics - Stillmatic - Nas

(Chorus) 

Ayo its poison, ecstacy, coke 

You say its love, it is poison 

Schools where I learned they should be burned, it is poison 

Physicians prescripting us medicine which is poison 

Doctors injecting our infants with the poison 

Religion misoverstood is poison 

(Verse 1) 

Niggas up in my hood be getting shot giving poison 

In hospitals, shots rittle the block 

Little children and elderly women run for their lives 

Drizzling rain come out the sky every time somebody dies, 

Must be out my fucking mind, what is this, the hundreth time? 

Sending flowers to funerals, reading rest in peace 

You know the usual, death comes in threes 

Life is short is what some nigga said 

Not if you measure life by how one lives and what he did 

Its funny how these black killer companies is making money off us 

Fast food, cola sodas, skull and bone crossers

(Chorus) 

(Verse 2) 

Sisters up in my hood trying to do good given choices 

When pregnant drop out of school or have abortions 

Stop working hoping that they find a man that will support them 

Up late night on they mothers cordless, thinking a perm or 

Bleaching cream will make better when they gorgeous 

White girls tanning, lypo suction 

Fake titties are implanted, fake lips thats life destruction 

Lightskin women, bi-racial hateful toward themselves 

Denying even they blood 

I don't judge Tiger Woods but I overstand the mental poison 

Thats even worser than drugs 

(Chorus) 

(Verse 3) 

Radio and TV poison, white Jesus poison 

And any thoughts of taking me down is poison 

Who want beef now, my heat shell annoyed them, plaow 

Photos 

(Talking) 

Never to worry, all the wrong doers got it coming back to em 

A thousand times over 

Every dog has its day and everything flips around 

Even the most greatest nation in the world has it coming back to em 

Everybody reaps what they sew thats how it goes 

Innocent lives will be taken, it may get worse but we'll get through it 

Yall be strong 

(Verse 4) 

The China-men built the railroad 

The Indians saved the Pilgrim 

And in return the Pilgrim killed em 

They call it it Thanksgiving, I call your holiday hellday 

Cause I'm from poverty, neglected by the wealthy 

Me and my niggas share gifts every day like Christmas 

Slay bitches and party everyday like this is the last 

I'm with my heckles connecting and we hitting the lad 

This is my level, fuck if it get you mad 

It's all poison, all of my words to enemies it is poison 

Rappers only talk about ki's, its all poison 

How could you call yourself emcees you ain't poison 

Think about the kids you mislead with the poison 

And any thoughts of taking me down is all poison 

Who want beef now, my heat shell annoyed them, plaow 

(Hook) 

What goes around comes around my nigga 

And what goes up it must come down my nigga 

The soldiers found below the ground my nigga 

Just hold it down we older now my nigga 

What goes around comes around my nigga 

And what goes up it must come down my nigga 

The soldiers found below the ground my nigga 

Just hold it down we older now my nigga 

(Verse 5) 

This nigga Ike with the Iverson jersey 

Light skin with herpees 

Fuckin' sisters in Harlem, Brooklyn and D.C. 

This is the problem cause he never tell em he got it 

From letting fags suck him off Rikers Island in nine-three 

Drives in Benz, hangs in all the parties 

All the concerts, backstage where the stars be 

Rocking their shirts in bitches faces like clockwork 

Whats your name, where you from, chain blinging 

Thinking girls everywheres dumb, taking pride in ruining their lives 

So they could never have babies, and they could never be wives 

He never used a condom, give him head he got ya 

Met the wrong bitch and now he dead from the monster AIDs 

I contemplate, believing in karma 

Those on top could just break and wont be eating tomorrow 

I know some bitches who be sleeping on niggas dreams 

They leave when they nigga blow she the first bitch on her knees 

Knowing dudes thats neglecting their seeds 

Instead of taking care of em they spending money on trees 

I pray for you deadbeat daddies 

Cause when them kids get grown its too late for you 

Now you old and you getting shitted on 

Its all scientific, mystic, you know the Earth and the stars 

Don't hesitate to say you heard it from Nas 

What is destined shall be 

George Bush killer til George Bush kills me 

Much blessings be healthy, remember 

(Hook)
