Nas

[sample singing]
Woke up this mornin', you got yourself a gun, you got yourself a gun..
[Chorus]
Yo I'm livin' in this time behind enemy lines
so I got mine, I hope you (got yourself a gun)
You from the hood, I hope you (got yourself a gun
you want beef I hope ya (got yourself a gun)
And when I see you I'ma take what I want
so you tried to front, hope ya (got yourself a gun)
You ain't real, hope ya (got yourself a gun)
[Verse 1]
My first album had no famous guest appearances
the outcome, I'm was crowned the best lyricist
many years on this professional level
why would you question who's better?
the World is still mine, tattoos real
with God's Son across the belly, the boss of rap
you saw me in Belly with thoughts like that
to take it back to Africa, I did it with Biggie
Me and 2Pac were soldiers of the same struggle
You lames should huddle, your teams shook y'all feel
the wrath of a killer, 'cause this is my football field
Throwin' passes from a barrel, shoulder pads, apparel
but the Q.B. don't stand for no quarterback
every word is like a sawed-off blast
'cause y'all all soft and I'm the black hearse
that came to haul y'all ass in
it's for the hood by the corner store
many try, many die, come at Nas if you want a war.
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
I'm the N the A to the S-I-R
and If I wasn't I must've been Escobar
you know the kid got his chipped tooth fixed
Hair parted with a barbers preciseness
