One time for your motherfuckin' mind
I used to wake up every mornin', see my crew on the block
To my man, Big Will he's still here
Yo, they call me Nas, I'm not your legal type of fella
It's your brain on drugs, to all fly bitches and thugs
The brutalizer, crew de-sizer, accelerator
And my man Primo, from GangStarr
Represent, represent!
The 40 side of Vernon
Shawn Penn, the 40 Busters
Crazy Barrio spot (Big Dove)
This goes out to everybody in New York
When I dress, it's never nuttin' less than Guess
Represent, represent!
The school drop-out, never liked the shit from day one
Fuck a yard god, let me see a hundred grand
'Cause life ain't shit but stress fake niggaz and crab stunts
Represent, represent!
That's livin the real fuckin' life
Represent, represent!
My crew the shorty busters
But if I hit rock bottom then I'm a be the son of Sam
We rock shit a lot, Ph.D
If it wasn't hangin' out in front of cocaine spots
Represent, represent!
Fly new chicks and new kicks, Heine's and Beck's
I don't believe in none of that shit, your facts are backwards
Before the BDP conflict with MC Shan
Nuff respect to the projects, I'm ghost, one love
Straight up shit is real and any day could be your last in the jungle
Represent, represent!
Can't forget Drawers, the Hillbillies
At the out-of-towners they better break north
Fuck y'all crab ass niggaz though
Love committin' sins and my friends sell crack
Represent y’all, represent!
So I guzzle my Hennessy while pullin' on mad blunts
I drink a little vodka, spark a L and hold a glock for
The fronters, wannabe ill niggaz and spot runners
My man Cormega, Lakid Kid
Pullin' a tec out the dresser, police got me under pressure
Around the time when Shante dissed the real Roxane
Who don't care, guzzlin' beers, we all stare
Get murdered on the humble, guns'll blast, niggaz tumble
Then call the crew to get live too
Represent y’all, represent!
Cold be walkin' with a bop and my hat turned back
And killer coppers, even come through in helicopters
Represent, represent!
Thinkin' it can't happen 'til i, trap em and clap them
My shit is on the streets, this way the Jakes'll never stop it
Moet drinkin', Marijuana smokin' street dweller
Bitch ass motherfucker
Who's always on the corner, rollin' up blessed
And every projects, all over
Represent y’all, represent!
(Yeah, bitch ass niggas!)
(Ninety-four real shit y'all, Harry O!)
The 41st side of Vernon posse
The type of nigga who be pissin' in your elevator
Somehow the rap game reminds me of the crack game
The DA's on the roof, tryin' to, watch us and knock us
No doubt, see my, stacks are fat, this is what it's about
My man Big L.E.S.
My man Slate, Wallethead
Represent, represent!
Mike'll chop it, mayo, you count the profit
Before we get the four pounders, and take their face off
The streets is filled with undercovers, homicide chasin' brothers
Represent, represent!
Every day's a different plan that had us runnin' from cops
We was at the candy factory, breakin' the locks
Could use a gun son, but fuck bein' the wanted man
And leave em done, won't even run about gods
Nowadays, I need the green in a flash just like the next man
Big Cee-Lo from the Don
Now I'm into fat chains, sex and tecs
Used to sport Bally's and Gazelle's with black frames
The Goodfellas
With swoop, Hakim, my brother jungle, big Bo, cooks up the blow
Represent y’all, represent!
This nigga raps with a razor, keep it under my tongue
(Bitch ass niggas)
Nas is a rebel of the street corner
The corners is the hot spot, full of mad criminals
Black Jay, Big Oogi
