[Talking: Nas] The wild Gremlins Ya'll know the F. right? [Verse 1: Nas] When the winner lose... and the losers win Nobody scores just a few good men But everybody sins A lot of young die Fall in the trap, strung high Try to go illegal, but the hood calling you back Flipping the crack, cause I miss it for example Watching base-heads wildin' on my first sample I elevated up, since my snakes in my circumference Now I hit my niggas with cakes and say, "Pump This" Thank god for cracks, corners, and marijuana Hoodrats and good gats to carry on ya I got dead friends, misled friends, crackhead friends Wild Gremlins, who "bust led" friends Silent weapons for quiet wars Allow gats Tussle too long, some shiny moves the crowd back It's powerful, niggas would die over respect And money is secondary to that whole aspect [Hook: Nas] I Love it, when I'm... High I'm at my Best, when I'm... Hiiigh I like my sex, when I'm... Hii-iiigh Cash, Tecs... Flash Tecs, when I ride through ya projects And clap at sets, a nigga... High North, South, East, West, riders get... Hiiigh I take ya'll niggas on a lyrical... Hii-iiigh I twist it up, Listen up to the real shit, feel this, REALNESS! [Nas:] Niggas rushing to the top, not knowing what it takes to be... King Of The Industry, the wise move patiently Ya niggas is hating me, won't be happy till I'm back witcha... Selling crack witcha, half & half on a pack witcha My pen and pad, paint a black picture... Of young ghouls passing liquor, after-hour store mass and figures Street corner combos, stagger and Wan knows... Tahoes coming through, blasting songs I know Niggas scheme, girls pregnant by sixteen Clique out to get rich... Empty clips for cream Same funeral home, for different stiff bodies Once I'm up a new family goes there, it don't surprise me Cry to the tears, dried up inside me Revenge to the end, laws in NYC Got up by the way I used to be... Apartment 5D... where dope fiends in the hall try your knob when you sleep Surveillance Cameras in my house now, watching you creep Spot you from deep, guns for all possible beef Niggas try to rock you asleep Kidnap your whole fam for a week Asking for ransom, niggas starving, dieing to eat [Hook: Nas] I Love it, when I'm... High I'm at my Best, when I'm... Hiiigh Yo... I like my sex, when I'm... Hii-iiigh Cash, Tecs... Flash Tecs, when I ride through ya projects And clap at sets, a nigga... High North, South, East, West, riders get... Hiiigh I take ya'll niggas on a lyrical... Hii-iiigh I twist it up, Listen up to the real shit, feel this, REALNESS!
