Represent - Clean Album Version

Yo (wadup Don?)
(Wadup Don?)
(What have we got-)
(Men I don't know this)
(Represent out here man)
(Nigga don't roll with you niggas)

Represent, represent! (Yeah)
Represent, represent! (Yeah)
Represent, represent!
Represent, represent!

Straight up ish is real and any day could be your last in the jungle
Get murdered on the humble, s'll blast, niggas tumble
The corners is the hot spot, full of mad criminals
Who don't care, guzzling beers, we all stare
At the out-of-towners (ay, yo, yo, who that?) They better break North
Before we get the four pounders, and take their face off
The streets is filled with undercovers, homicide chasing brothers
The D.A.'s on the roof, trying to, watch us and knock us

And killer coppers, even come through in helicopters
I drink a little vodka, spark a L and hold a for
The fronters, wannabe ill and spot runners
Thinking it can't happen 'til I, trap 'em and 'em
And leave 'em done, won't even run about Gods
I don't believe in none of that ish, your facts are backwards
Nas is a rebel of the street corner
Pulling a out the dresser, police got me under pressure

Represent, represent!
Represent, represent!
Represent, represent! (Yeah, uh-huh)
Represent, represent!

Yo, they call me Nas, I'm not your legal type of fella
Moet drinking, smoking street dweller
Who's always on the corner, rolling up blessed
When I dress, it's never nothing less than Guess
Cold be walking with a bop and my hat turned back
Love committing sins and my friends sell crack
This raps with a razor, keep it under my tongue
The school drop-out, never liked the ish from day one

'Cause life ain't ish but stress fake and crab stunts
So I guzzle my Hennesey while pulling on mad
The brutalizer, crew de-sizer, accelerator
The type of who be pissing in your elevator
Somehow the rap game reminds me of the game
Used to sport Bally's and Gazelle's with black frames
Now I'm into fat chains, sex and
Fly new chicks and new kicks, Heine's and Beck's

Represent, represent! (Yeah, uh-huh)
Represent, represent! (Hip hop)
Represent, represent!

No doubt, see my, stacks are fat, this is what it's about
Before the BDP conflict with MC Shan
Around the time when Shante dissed the Real Roxxane
I used to wake up every morning, see my crew on the block
Every day's a different plan that had us running from cops
If it wasn't hanging out in front of spots
We was at the candy factory, breaking the locks
Nowadays, I need the green in a flash just like the next man

A yard God, let me see a hundred grand
Could use a son, but being the wanted man
But if I hit rock bottom then I'ma be the Son of Sam
Then call the crew to get live too
With Swoop, Hakim, my brother Jungle, Big Bo, cooks up the
Mike'll chop it, Mayo, you count the profit
My ish is on the streets, this way the Jakes'll never stop it
It's your brain on, to all fly and thugs
'Nough respect to the projects, I'm ghost, One Love

Represent ya'll, represent!
Represent ya'll, represent! (Queensbridge)
Represent ya'll, represent!
Represent ya'll, represent! (Yeah, man)

One time for your mind
This goes out to everybody in New York
That's living the real life in every projects, all over
To my man Big Will, he's still here
The 40 side of Vernon, my man Big L.E.S
Big Cee-Lo from the Don, Shawn Penn, the 40 busters
My crew the shorty busters, the 41st side of Vernon posse

The Goodfellas, my man Cormega, Lakey the Kid
Can't forget Draws, the Hillbillies
My man Slate, Wallethead, Black Jay, Big Oogie
Crazy barrio spot, (Big Dove), we rock a lot, PHD
And my man Preemo from Gang Starr
'94 real ish y'all (word up Harry O)
Y'all crab-ass though!

Let's bring it back
That's just a warm up
'Cause I can on
