[Hook]

Lord have mercy Jesus Christ

He's just nice he just slice like a ginsu

Look at the life that I've been through

I'm the last real nigga alive that's official

[Repeat]

[Verse 1]

Y'all know about my Biggie wars

Who you thought "Kick In The Door" was for?

But that's my heart y'all still tripping of the Jigga shit

Real niggas listen up and I'mma tell you how the whole thing start

Off top I brung Queens up from hard times

Rocking at the Fever streets was all mine

It was my version of the blues dropping out schools

The crack epidemic had rap representing the rules

So I got in them shoes tried 'em wore them

Wasn't a perfect fit so I couldn't sport 'em

Young murderers ride I knew all them

Jungle got shot Will died we was warring

I wrote it in my album

I was 18 when Lake seen the Island and Lord held me down and

My surroundings started changing I had a baby

I was making my rounds with AZ

Niggas started noticing my flow and was open when

The Golden Child closed 'em in with more style than them older men

Puff tried to start a label Prince Rakeem had formed Wu-Tang

Snoop and Dre had a new thing

So Puff drove his new Range through Queensbridge Projects

He let me drive it before Ready To Die hit

Big and I hit blunts performing at the Ark

Next thing you knew Big blew and all the balling starts

He had Kim in his crew I found Fox

Only niggas in New York with number one charts

Big was ahead of his time him and Raekwon my niggas

But dig it they couldn't get along

That's when Ghostface said it on the purple tape

Bad Boy biting Nas album cover way

Big told me Rae was stealing my slang

And Rae told me out in Shaolin Big would do the same thing

But I borrowed from both them niggas

Jigga started to flow like us but hit with "Ain't No Nigga"

Had much Versace swagger

Big admired the Brooklyn knight and it took him in as Iceberg the rapper

Today don't know nothing about this boss shit

There's more shit than wanting to be this King of New York shit

[Verse 2]

Rap became a version of Malcom and Martin

Rest In Peace Will Queensbridge live on

There's some ghetto secrets I can't rhyme in this song

There's some missing pieces I had to leave out

Had lost trust for Steve Stoute at some point til I got to know him

We old friends but what's loyal? Puff soaked Interscope offices

With champagne bottles on Steve and Steve thought the drama's on me

Cause previously it would have been against whoever

Friends forever

However I learn with some niggas it's all business

But I'm a street dude with morals

Then this nigga's with Jigga too much he used to say Jay wanted my spot

I laughed stayed home never hung a lot

A quiet man who used to be alone planning

Baby moms thought I was too quiet couldn't stand it

She hit the streets later on she hitting the sheets

With a rapper who wanted me on his songs thinking he strong

I taught her how to watch for cars who might follow

Taught her street shit that I know

Her weakness was Shawn yo

But that's her I ain't mad baby it made me stronger

Now I get my paper longer

Illmatic I was boss It Was Written I flossed

One of the most creative LPs ever to hit stores

In the Firm I learned I Am NaStradamus

QB's Finest Oochie Wally faced more problems

I gave it all up so I can chill at home with mama

She was getting old and sick so I stayed beside her

We had the best times she asked would I make more songs

I told her not til I see her health get more strong

In the middle of that Jay tried to sneak attack

Assassinate my character degrade my hood

Cause in order for him to be the Don Nas had to go

The Gam-B-I-N-O rules I understood

What y'all want see I already had

The Gift and The Curse? Fuck that shit the first shall be last

I'm the man's man a rapper's rapper

G-O-D S-O-N they'll be none after

I was Scarface Jay was Manolo

It hurt me when I had to kill him and his whole squad for dolo
