Nas - H To The Izz O [Stillmatic] lyrics

[Nas having conversation with himself]
Ayo Nasty Nas, what up?
~Aint nothing, a lot of cowards frontin´.
I hear what you are saying, but yo, this is all love for me, you know?
~No doubt, smoke them cowards, you STILLMATIC

Ma, I am sorry who the f*ck I AM, I cannot trust my fans
Out of luck, no constructive plans
My friends stay powdered up, I am so drunk, can´t stand
You said if I´d sober up, I would be a powerful man
Turned out the street life, you prayed I´dn´t
But every church in the world can´t save our children
I stayed out late, you heard shots, thought it´d be
Your older son on the ground dead, but fortunately
The bullets had some other names on it, the brother was blind
I hit the el, than we yell out, "It wasn´t my time!"
I loaded up shells, one by one, you smelled blunts from my room door
Little Nasir was at war
And little did I care what you saw
Crew deep with a few heat, now it is time we settle the score
But in the projects, I visit Muhammad, in linen garments
Preaching Man, Woman, & Child, the living Prophet
And I am similar, Nasir Bin Aluda Ra
Visqu Allah, fist full of dollars in the dice game God
The Ice King, God, the Black Christ, elegant stance
Clothes fit me like a crime boss, the menacing man
I see the world collapsing, young pregnancies
Young girls are fast & in their Sasoon jeans, no prophylactic
All this fast shit & fly jewelry, now makes my eyes teary
N Y City, grab a hold & ride with me
Rip the FREEWAY, shoot through MEMPHIS with money bags
Stop in Philly, order cheese steaks & eat BEANS fast
And bring it back up top, remove the fake king of New York
You show off, I count off when you sample my voice
I rule you, before, you used to rap like the FU-SHNICKENS
NAS designed your BLUEPRINT, who you kidding?
Is he H TO THE IZZO, M TO THE IZZO?
For shizzle you phony, the rapping version of SISQO
And that is for certain, you clone me, your wack clothes line
I would rather Sean John, bore me with your fake ass rhymes
And those times, they never took place, you liar
UN was your 1st court case, you had no priors
You master fabricated stories of streets & sound slick
Have you surrounded, you & the bitch you down with
While they riding NAS, trying to boost their careers
Corny as CORMEGA, all you Hip-Hop queers
Since ILLMATIC, IT WAS WRITTEN: I AM...NASTRADAMUS
That is the answers to the puzzle I gave you, now here is a promise
My next few albums, instead of projects,
They will be a difficult test inside the cover for the mind´s optics
Come in my hood, but bring the guns with you, it is dark
Headed through Brooklyn, Queens, Harlem, Staten, & Bronx
Headed through Compton, Oaktown, South Central, & Watts
New Orleans, Mississippi, Chi-town, every block
I am trying to have my positive ways, I put my rhymes on page
Did crimes & headline on stage
I Signed a contract, so here it´s, you´ve it
Streets disciple, I am STILLMATIC

[Female voice sample] You make me feel so good
