Nas - Nas

Untitled (Explicit)

They did not have the power to stop Louis Farrakhan
They were trying to touch on and thieve envy within the leadership
But as a general, and a man that rose through the ranks through discipline
His presence inspired those men with the discipline he imposed on his own life
Louis Farrakhan

Uh, yeah, wow
No revolutionary gets old, or so I'm told
You're left full of bullet holes when you tell the people, "Go free"
Oh, it's a matter of days before they try to take me
I heard gun shots rang, his bullet's got my name
I ain't see 'em take aim, I dreamt this day came
'Cause I stood in the face of damnation
Satan spat at 'em, flat out disgraced 'em
He want my blood, why me?

Why not the fake ones who deserve death, man?
Fuck it, I'll take one, could stop me
But can't stop a whole nation of millions who feel you deceived them
They believe in reparation makes it even
So, I'm deadly now because of one reason, they listening
In Budapest, Japan, China, and Switzerland
We getting it in son
Another bullet pass by, missed me

Wondering who plotting to get me?
Alphabet boys still plotting against me
To hush me and stuff me in the pockets of history
You won't remember why they came to clip me
When time go by you'll soon forget me
They say he was the king of bling, jewels, and Bentleys
Then, they use one of my lines just to prove I'm guilty
Don't let 'em kill me

They did not have the power to stop Louis Farrakhan
They did not have the power to stop Louis Farrakhan
They did not have the power to stop Louis Farrakhan
They did not have the power to stop Louis Farrakhan

Some revolutionaries do live long
Am I one of them? Guess we'll know in due time
Everybody has rights, can I use mine?
Can I rock shine? Can I have a girl that's too fine?
Got a swell life, tell me, will I lose mine?
Every time I turn around, somebody new dying
Let's start living, à la carte, Escargot
Escobar, invest my millions

Mansion for the wife, the rest for the children
Knowing that they coming anytime
But until then, I'm at large 'til they shoot me
Million dollar stones in my camouflaged Gucci
Giving you this crack like Pookie
The questioning system, be the resistance
No matter what color you are, everybody niggers
You can stand by or watch, or you can march on with us

Some revolutionaries get old, although, I'm told
You'll get left full of bullet holes when you tell the people, "Go free"
Oh, it's a matter of days before they try to take me
Some revolutionaries get old, although, I'm told
You'll get left full of bullet holes when you tell the people, "Go free"
Oh, it's just a matter of days before they try to take me
