Raekwon Ft. Nas - Rich and Black Lyrics

and regardless to how much power you have
god sends prophets and messengers
they don't care nothing about your power
because they come from the power

rare nigga, i'm a wonder
your best success
is my worst blunder
feds tap the number
jewelry jacqueline onassis could appreciate, weed to alleviate the pain
eddie kane, richard pryor pinky ring
watch your conduct nigga
throw parties for my niggas that’s living
you guessed it
models ya’ll keep them if they anorexic
love them but can’t trust them
hate them but won’t bust them
caking in savings, spending, wasting, it's like a custom
tats are hieroglyphic, lipstick on the collar
i got more to lose than you do, but i’m a rider
when did the rules change?
y’all living trendy on pennies
meeting deadlines with ease no game
you fire? i'm butane
gator timbs, ostrich belts
these be the times that i surprise myself
my niggas looking like black crows and pack shows
the don's voice stay pristine like i'm still 17

i'm rich, black, african
rocking the golden mack
shelling leather gucci like it's on my back
woolie-boxing hoodlum in the trench
rinse these niggas, '86 gazels dicing near the fence
mike tyson's disciple, trifle with my pen it's a rifle
16 ways to shoot you through your chrysler duke
exhaling with niggas, the jails argue
bring the best niggas to the table, i'll sic all my whales on you
custom wooden speakers rock alices, rump on polices
dump on creatures, holidays and preachers
stainless steel watches, ostrich turtlenecks
here's the deal: if we can't come in, they can't have the field
bones in cisco', murder instrumentals
cayenne porsche rap, how many horses live official?
i run with generals who flash uzis in interviews
my shit is deep, we fly, swim, dude

verse 2 gotta be all murder like
the first verse
timbs yellow like the hair on a malibu surfer
yellow like my harry winston, glistening arm b
yellow like new york city: piss stained concrete

that’s right, yo, who voted toasting in the wind, las vegas otis
what you know? leave right here we ghost in the lotus
put a package on your head, be promoted, keys in effect
paying these dumb fucking d’s off with donuts

i hate, to see you, acting like a slave
to get an advance here, an advance there
because somebody else controls your destiny

aiyo, i’m rich, black, umbrella calico captain
wes craven with a blade and a black
i’m hood ornaments, junkies win awards in my tournaments
my shit is listed like informants pics
you know we order hits, planes flying, niggas is sure to getcha
whether in costa rica, lisa, she sure to twist ya
eating chow lo mein with chopsticks, glocks with aim
watermelon chips, pop some ‘pagne
for all the riches, niggas forcing out they feelings, kid
whether in hallways or the boats, now feel us, kid
out in alaska, in the astons, remember my passion
hungry wolf who never eat in his castle
bolivian connects restless, yeah, chef ambidextrous
quick to back you in like the lexus shit
hunted by the fbi, we gracious, more demonstrations
shit is tough, milk the carnation

Common Ft. Nas - Ghetto Dreams Lyrics

Common Ft. Nas - Ghetto Dreams

[hook]
ghetto dreams
ghetto ghetto dreams
ghetto niggas' dreams
ghetto ghetto dreams
ghetto niggas' dreams
ghetto dreams
ghetto niggas' dreams
from the hood

[verse 1: common]
i want a bitch that look good and cook good
cinderella fancy, but she still look hood
butt naked in the kitchen for the pancakes
plus she tricking from the dough that her man makes
we got our own handshake
her titties ain't fake
fucking in the car cause he just can't wait
to get home, early in the morn' getting stoned
pretty with her eyes low, running by bible
the type of bitch that big said he would die for
is the type that i would rather stay alive for
tats on her back, looking all tribal
she know shoes like she know survival
well put together, she weathers the storm
seen her brother die so forever she's strong
hear beyonce's song and she gotta perform
whether fucking or fighting: we getting it on!

[hook]

[verse 2: nas]
i don't even say shit, she can feel it
i toss the realest
so ______
ass is a weapon and it's hard to conceal it
baby in one arm, the other arm's a skillet
frying chicken, macaroni
raise on the black _____
(ghetto press???), she's my ____
_____________
______ or my mama
knowing the drama like she know when to joke
steal a nigga's squares, not wanting me to smoke
i poke my head out of benzes
streets that i know who my friends is
in this love for the money, power and clothes
a ghetto housewife watch reality shows
she might get to snapping when the cameras are closed
when the cameras start snapping, she's ready to pose

[hook]

[verse 3: nas]
i notice all my flaws when it comes to writing rhymes
subject matter be changing too quickly at times
so i keep it strictly 'bout dimes and stick to the story
call me a pro in the pussy category
had explicit experience as i shouldn't mention
for me, getting women turn from a sport to an addiction
powerful women playing the roles of submission
_________ leashes
_____ women _______
pain under my game wanted and i'm sadistic
they liked it, they diked it, devices twisted
til i get a nice chick, to get me on some nice shit
crib raising kids, slap a door behind a white fist
but i'm still single, looking for cleopatra
african queen, yo look at me, i'm a bachelor
y'all niggas in trouble, keeping girls behind closed doors
cross your fingers, be happy i haven't chose yours
she loves _________ sandals
valentino bags is my etiquette my man is
half hood half glass, photographers cameras
____ hope she can handle this
she can join me, red carpet at my next non-profit
event having spot ____ have some alcohol _____
jumping out a bentley with some fresh red bottoms
you learn to dream with me when you are just in the projects
