DJ, [Dm] DJ, DJ, I just died this morning and she's dead, she's dead.
Yeah, people chill partying behind the same corner.
Get casted fast, man's mama.
Quick, fast, trigger fingers on a llama.
Revenge in their eyes, tendency in the words to the wise.
We're building state of minds.
Brazilian diamonds, Brazilian diamonds from, Brazilian diamonds from.
Whenever, if ever, I roll up, it's so knock.
Any ghetto will tell you Nas helped grow us up.
My face once raised promotion on Sony trucks.
Hundred million in billing, I helped blow them up.
Gave my man my right, I could've went left.
So like my girl Foxy, the kid went deaf.
So people, who's the top ten?
Is it MC Shan?
Is [D] it MC Rich?

DJ, DJ, DJ, I just died this morning and she dead.
The bigger the cap, the bigger the pillion.
Come through somethin' ill, missin' the ceiling.
What influenced my raps?
Kidnappings, project buildings, drug dealings.
Criticize that, why's that?
Cause Nas rap is compared to legitimize.
We love to talk on nasty chickens.
Most intellectuals will only half listen.
So you can't blame jazz musicians or David Stern with his NBA fashion issues.
Ooh, I think they like me and my white teeth.
You can't ice me, we here for life, B.
On my second marriage, hip hop's my first wifey.
And for that, we not takin' it lightly.
If hip hop should die, we die together.
In the mall, [Bb] lie together, all [D] together now.

[G] Reminiscing when it wasn't all business.
If it got where it started.
So [N] we all gather here for the dearly departed.
Hip hopper since a toddler.
One homeboy became a man then a monster.
If it dies, let me get my last swig of vodka.
R.I.P. we donate your lungs to a roster
Went from turntables to mp3s
From V Street to commercials on Mickey D's
From gold cables to Jacobs
From plain facials to Botox [D] and facelifts
I'm looking over my [G] shoulder
It's about 80 [Bb] people from my hood that's shooting up
And they came to [B] show love
Soul Out [N] concert and the doors are closed shut
