And as a special treat evening I have asked America's foremost poet To his latest poem for us
and gentlemen, na-na-Nastradamus Everybody, him Ladies and gentlemen, We, we, we a long way
and gentlemen, na-na-Nastradamus Everybody him and gentlemen, na-na-Nastradamus
Yo, yo, yo Power and crime, the thugs slingin' and dimes Twenties of D, is yo' niggaz wilder than My niggaz nines, puff lye and stick up cowards For they shine, you resist, then you up flowers
I'm like Lou Cabrasi, Vito's best That's Godfather shit, back seat, lit plans spit, I'm too tough to bargain with And you don't want the God to pull up the cars that's
Arms and is lit up, Queensbridge Kings awards applause when I do my thing Streets is black as midnight, the gray stains of blood and germ and piss all day
Come on the ave, get sized up, appraised Duck and pray my guns don't bust your way with names, livin' off reputation Sometimes gotta remind you ain't changin'
and gentlemen, na-na-Nastradamus Everybody, him
If you ill, come get me, 'cause I ain't If your gun's off the hook then we'll be gunnin' Come get me if you real, I ain't scared It's all in love and war and I'm well prepared
If you ill, come get me, 'cause I runnin' If gun's off the hook then we'll both be gunnin' get me if you real, 'cause I ain't scared It's all fair in love and we can it there
You don't like me clown? Now, you wanna take me If I bring my face around, you gon' do You butt Your crew knew I blew up, I been shinin', diamonds Dick for your chick lings
Niggaz what my nine pearl handle's about Fuck you, say girlie mouth? Get it krunk the Dirty South And I know you see me flossed out, multi i Hear your talk about me, you give her the cold eye?
Girls dig you, what she feel for me? You make hot songs, but she you steal from me Who ill as me? I on haters in album three level, I take y'all niggaz to 3-D
Can't a nigga shook from Queens I'll be the most grimy killers (What nigga?) And all look clean Who put bombs underneath cars, if you want beef then Your next is to the graveyard
If you ill, come get me, 'cause I runnin' If your off the hook then we'll both be gunnin' Come get me if you real, 'cause I scared all fair in love and war and I'm well prepared
If you ill, come get me, 'cause I runnin' If your gun's off the then we'll both be gunnin' Come get me if you real, 'cause I ain't It's all fair in love and we can it there
You too feminine to kill again, got you soft You but you scared to go back up North Keep your face twisted, but you really want nuttin' Talk a bunch of shit motherfucker and frontin'
You don't wanna flip again, and drugs again Be on the run again, you at the Comfort Inn Shoot up your door, in on you and your whore Put in bags, clean the blood off of the floor
So play tough, I want to get out of line I got nines, every shape and design I killers every race to put one in your spine Two in ear, get your crew, who do I fear? Nobody never get involved and none of em
I think like you do, roll with two irons Catch me flyin', high in the winin' And dinin', you die, then we laugh, you ass You ass to gauze up, your stab wounds
I'm gettin' head, in a Lear jet, bathroom With all my goons, all my ice, and Full of paper, not money bank statements The Illmatic explains how we rock Yachts and co-ops, we buy the and sell you a block
If you ill, come get me, I ain't runnin' If your gun's off the hook then both be gunnin' Come get me if you real, 'cause I ain't It's all fair in and war and I'm well prepared
If you ill, come get me, 'cause I runnin' If your gun's off the hook we'll both be gunnin' Come get me if you real, 'cause I scared all fair in love and we can take it there
Ladies and gentlemen, Everybody, him and gentlemen, na-na-Nastradamus We, we, we a long way and gentlemen, na-na-Nastradamus Everybody him and gentlemen, na-na-Nastradamus Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and
