Hey Nas (feat. Kelis & Claudette Ortiz)

The phone rings

Another peaceful moment is lost

Latifah's chest jingle in "Set It Off"

I press pause in the bed as a king

I let it ring 4 or 5 times

Answer while I'm puffin' my green

It's Tamika sayin', "Hi Nas"

I caught a flashback of her askin' me

Was I asthmatic 'fore I tapped that

She offered me dinner under the moon

I said, "Sorry, I made plans at Ray's Boom-Boom Room"

Nine push-ups, strength's gone

At the tenth one so why hook up

The pimp's gone off the Platron Tequila

Put on my Lee's and the original Fila's

Sedated from L's, 380 cocked

Naked ladies laid up in tails

Like Whodini I chose, gazelles don't lean on my nose

Drivin' by the clubs gleamin' and go

Heads turn it's a freak show

I need them to know when will they learn

Nas need a queen not a hoe to

Point out my enemies, a girl who's into me

But not a hype chick

Someone with proper energy

Someone who's into me but won't fuck with my enemies

And you can sing along 'cuz I'm feelin' ya energy

Hey Nas, how ya doin'?

Take my name and my number

Meanwhile, we'll be groovin'

But let's take it slow

One for the honeys who roll blunts up but don't smoke

Two for the few who see potential in you when you broke

Three for the G they got, they game is hot I give it to you

Double life wife play with the man that's livin' with you

Here's the issue a woman gotta be stunnin'

Get to a man's heart through his stomach

You gotta be skilled in the culinary arts

Know a brother stay mad hungry when he spark

Hit the museum, maybe Central Park, you mentally smart

Picture we in Tiffany, you becomin' my counterpart

If I want Chinese then you buy me a wok

If you want barbeque I call Professor and Ock

'Cuz you point out my enemies, someone who's into me

But not a hyper chick someone with the proper energy

A girl that's into me who won't fuck all my enemies

And you could be the one 'cuz I'm lovin' ya energy

Hey Nas, how ya doin'?

Take my name, and my number

Meanwhile, we'll be cruisin'

But let's take it slow

Slow is the way

Holdin' hands, tongue and hickeys

Hope and I pray where I run at you

Run away with me

That's if my gun get busy

We gotta get outta there

Hear sirens jump in the stick

Drop a sedan and hide for years

Like none else in the world

Did this except for us two

You gotta trust me, I gotta trust you

If coppers bust me it's me you rescue

This to the death boo

You rep me respectfully that's how I rep for you

Retired from pimpin', perspire is drenchin'

As we suck and fuck each other's minds out commission

Time's out forbidden

Until we pass out, that's when we stop

We give it all we got, give it all we got, we hot

Give it all we got, give it all we got, we rock

Give it all we got, give it all we got

You 'bout the baddest thing

Since Michael had Billy Jean

And Prince gave you diamonds and pearls

But to be my queen you must

Point out my enemies, a girl who's into me

But not a hype chick, someone with proper energy

Someone who's into me who won't fuck all my enemies

And you can be the one 'cuz I'm feelin' ya energy

Hey Nas, how ya doin'?

Take my name, and my number

Meanwhile, we'll be cruisin'

But let's take it slow

I can be what you said

That you need, I can be, all that

I can be, I can have your back, baby

I can be what you said

That you need, I can be, all that

I can be, I can have your back, baby
