Represent - Clean Album Version

Yo (wadup Don?)

(Wadup Don?)

(What have we got-)

(Men I don't know this)

(Represent out here man)

(Nigga don't roll with you niggas)

Represent, represent! (Yeah)

Represent, represent! (Yeah)

Represent, represent!

Represent, represent!

Straight up ish is real and any day could be your last in the jungle

Get murdered on the humble, s'll blast, niggas tumble

The corners is the hot spot, full of mad criminals

Who don't care, guzzling beers, we all stare

At the out-of-towners (ay, yo, yo, who that?) They better break North

Before we get the four pounders, and take their face off

The streets is filled with undercovers, homicide chasing brothers

The D.A.'s on the roof, trying to, watch us and knock us

And killer coppers, even come through in helicopters

I drink a little vodka, spark a L and hold a for

The fronters, wannabe ill and spot runners

Thinking it can't happen 'til I, trap 'em and 'em

And leave 'em done, won't even run about Gods

I don't believe in none of that ish, your facts are backwards

Nas is a rebel of the street corner

Pulling a out the dresser, police got me under pressure

Represent, represent!

Represent, represent!

Represent, represent! (Yeah, uh-huh)

Represent, represent!

Yo, they call me Nas, I'm not your legal type of fella

Moet drinking, smoking street dweller

Who's always on the corner, rolling up blessed

When I dress, it's never nothing less than Guess

Cold be walking with a bop and my hat turned back

Love committing sins and my friends sell crack

This raps with a razor, keep it under my tongue

The school drop-out, never liked the ish from day one

'Cause life ain't ish but stress fake and crab stunts

So I guzzle my Hennesey while pulling on mad

The brutalizer, crew de-sizer, accelerator

The type of who be pissing in your elevator

Somehow the rap game reminds me of the game

Used to sport Bally's and Gazelle's with black frames

Now I'm into fat chains, sex and

Fly new chicks and new kicks, Heine's and Beck's

Represent, represent! (Yeah, uh-huh)

Represent, represent! (Hip hop)

Represent, represent!

No doubt, see my, stacks are fat, this is what it's about

Before the BDP conflict with MC Shan

Around the time when Shante dissed the Real Roxxane

I used to wake up every morning, see my crew on the block

Every day's a different plan that had us running from cops

If it wasn't hanging out in front of spots

We was at the candy factory, breaking the locks

Nowadays, I need the green in a flash just like the next man

A yard God, let me see a hundred grand

Could use a son, but being the wanted man

But if I hit rock bottom then I'ma be the Son of Sam

Then call the crew to get live too

With Swoop, Hakim, my brother Jungle, Big Bo, cooks up the

Mike'll chop it, Mayo, you count the profit

My ish is on the streets, this way the Jakes'll never stop it

It's your brain on, to all fly and thugs

'Nough respect to the projects, I'm ghost, One Love

Represent ya'll, represent!

Represent ya'll, represent! (Queensbridge)

Represent ya'll, represent!

Represent ya'll, represent! (Yeah, man)

One time for your mind

This goes out to everybody in New York

That's living the real life in every projects, all over

To my man Big Will, he's still here

The 40 side of Vernon, my man Big L.E.S

Big Cee-Lo from the Don, Shawn Penn, the 40 busters

My crew the shorty busters, the 41st side of Vernon posse

The Goodfellas, my man Cormega, Lakey the Kid

Can't forget Draws, the Hillbillies

My man Slate, Wallethead, Black Jay, Big Oogie

Crazy barrio spot, (Big Dove), we rock a lot, PHD

And my man Preemo from Gang Starr

'94 real ish y'all (word up Harry O)

Y'all crab-ass though!

Let's bring it back

That's just a warm up

'Cause I can on
