Yeah.
[Em] [C#m] When I broke [B] for the street.
Who else could it be?
[D#m] [C#] Explode.
My thoughts were drunken from courts of bed.
Was years back before Nasir [D#m] would explore career in rap.
[C#m] As a music dude, I mastered [B] this Rubik's Cube.
Godzilla, broke archanthal eyes glued to the [C#m] tube.
Was a long time [B] ago.
John Boy Ice, Geronimo Police.
[D#m] Jumping out Chrysler's easy rider [C#m] paper.
Pops puffing [B] his sets, punching his chest like a gorilla.
[D#m] Outside with psychos killers.
[B] Saw [C#m] Devon, Guna, Tungo.
Little Turkey, [D#m] R.I..P. [C#m] Tyrone. Remember no curse in front of Ms. Mercy. Big Percy, Crazy Paul, the Sled Sisters. My building [D] was 4016. [C#m] Once in the blue, hallways was clean. I knew all that I seen had [B] meant something. [C#] Learned early to fear none. [D#m] Little Nas was [Em] hunting, [C#m] living carefree. [B] Laughing, got jokes in the daily. I acted like some [D#m] old folks. Y'all don't hit me. Yo, I'm [B] in my second childhood. [C#m] When I broke for the street, who else could it [D] be? Nas, [C#m] Nas, Nas, Nas. [B] Resurrected through [C#m] the birth of my seed. Queens Bridge, [D] make everything [C#m] right. [C#] Get yours, get yours. When I broke for the street, who [D#m] else could it be? Nas, [C#m] Nas, Nas, Nas. [B] Resurrected through [C#m] the birth of my seed. Queens Bridge, [D] make everything [C#m] right. Yo, dude is 31, living in [B] his mom's crib. Ex-convict was [D#m] paroled in after his [D] long [C#m] bed. Conrotes [B] in his hair, still slinging. Got a crew, they break [D#m] his mom's furniture. Watching [C#m] Comic View. Got babies by [B] different ladies high. Smoking L's in the same spot [D#m] he stood since 85. [C#m] Well, when his dad's [B] slow, he be crazy. Saved by his mom's hitter [D#m] on her payday. Junior [C#m] high school dropout. [B] Teachers never cared. They was paid just to [D#m] show up and leave. No one [C#m] succeeds, so he moves with his peers. [B] Different blocks, different years. Sitting on different [D#m] benches like it's musical chairs. [C#m] All his peoples moved on in life. He's on the [B] corners at night with young dudes. [D#m] It's them he wanna be like. It's [C#m] sad, but it's fun to [B] him, right? He never grew up. 31 and [D#m] can't give his youth up. [Em] He's in his second childhood. When [C#m] I broke for the street, who else could it [D] be? Nas, [C#m] Nas, Nas, Nas. [B] Resurrected through the [C#m] birth of my seed. [D#m] Queens Bridge, [D] make everything right. [C#m] It's yours, [C#] it's yours. When I broke for the street, who else [D#m] could it be? Nas, [C#m] Nas, Nas, Nas. Resurrected through the birth of my seed. Queens Bridge, [D] make everything right. It's yours, it's yours. Baby girl, she's always talking, name dropping. Hanging late, drinking, [B] smoking. Hates her baby daddy, craves shopping. [C#m] E-pop and ecstasy [B] taking. Won't finish her education. Best friend, she [D#m] keeps changing. Stuck with [C#m] limitations, lusting in many hotels. Fendi Chanel, [B] with nothing in her bank [D#m] account. Frontin', she do well. Her [C#m] kid suffers, he don't [C#] get that love he deserves. He the son, she the earth. Single [D#m] mom, even worse. [Em] No [B] job, never [C#m] stay working. Matt Purdy, shorty, [D] they call her the brain [C#m] surgeon. Tom Flyant, she the same person. Never matures, all her friends married, doing well. [D] She's in the streets, [C#m] yakity yakking like she was 12. Honey is 27, [B] argues, fights. Selfish in her own right for life. Guess she's [E] in her second childhood. [C#m] When I float for the street, who else could it [D] be? NAS. [C#m] Resurrect, through the birth, my seat. Queensbridge, [D] make everything right. Get yours, get yours. When I float for the street, who [D#m] else could it be? [D] NAS. [B] Resurrect, [C#m] through the birth, my seat. Queensbridge, [D] make everything [C#m] right. Get yours, get yours. Who else
