Nas - Carry On Tradition
[intro: Nas]
Yea, Niggaz Want To Talk About This Rap Shit
Niggaz Want To Talk About This Money
About These Cars, These Homes, These Labels
Clothes, Sneakers, Big Money Shit
Now Everybody Tryin` To Get Rich
Now Get Rich Niggaz, Fuck It
[verse 1: Nas]
Some Rap Pioneers, Be Them Crackheads
When They Speak, You See Missin` Teeth
Silver Chain With A Silver Piece
Niggaz Your Grandfather`s Age
They Pants Still Hangin` Down They Legs Talkin` About They Ain`t Paid
And They Hate You, `cause They Say, You Ain`t Pay Dues
And ..... Was Stealin` And Robbin` Them
I Feel It`s A Problem We Gotta Resolve
Hip-hop Been Dead, We The Reason It Died
Wasn`t Sylvia`s Fault Or Because Mc`s Skills Are Lost
It`s Because We Can`t See Ourselves As The Boss
Deep-rooted Through Slavery, Self-hatred
The Jewish Stick Together, Friends In High Places
We On Some Low Level Shit
We Don`t Want Niggaz To Ever Win
See, Everybody Got A Label
Everybody`s A Rapper But Few Flow Fatal
It`s Fucked Up, It All Started From Two Turntables
[hook: Nas]
When They Crown You - And You Rise Up To Your Position
(carry On Tradition)
When They Knight You - Then You Go To Fight, Go To War, Don`t Petition
(carry On Tradition) - (carry On Tradition)
Carry On, Ca-carry On, (carry On Tradition)
(carry On Tradition), When You Rep What We Rep
Then (carry On Tradition)
[verse 2: Nas]
Now Some Of These New Rappers Got Their Caps Flipped Backwards
Wit Their Fingers Intertwined In Some Gang-sign Madness
I Got An Exam, Let`s See If Y`all Pass It
Let`s See Who Can Quote A Daddy Kane Line The Fastest
Some Of You New Rappers, I Don`t Understand Your Code
You Have Your Man Shoot You, Like In That Sopranos Episode
Do Anythin` To Get In The Game, Mixtapes, You Spit Hate
Against Bosses; Hungry Fucks Are Moraless
You Should Be Tossed In A Pit Full Of Unfortunate Vocalists
Niggaz, I Coulda Wrote Your Shit; I Had Off-time, Was Bored Wit This
I Coulda Made My Double-lp, Just By Samplin` Different Parts Of Nautilus
Still Came Five On The Charts With Zero Audience
The Lane Was Open And Y`all Was Droppin` That Garbage Shit
Y`all Got Awards For Your Bricks - It Got Good To Ya
You Started Tellin` Them Bigger Dogs To Call It Quits?! What?
[hook: Nas]
When They Crown You - And You Rise Up To Your Position
(carry On Tradition)
When They Knight You - Then You Go To Fight, Go To War, Don`t Petition
(carry On Tradition) - (carry On Tradition)
Carry On, Ca-carry On, (carry On Tradition)
(carry On Tradition), When You Rep What We Rep
Then (carry On Tradition)
[verse 3: Nas]
Now Niggaz Got The Studio Poppin`, It`s Mad Clearer
Engineers Got His Earplugs And Still Hear Us
The Live-in-the-park Sound, Versus The Studio State Of Art Sound
We On The Charts Now; From British Walkers And Argyles
Look At Us Rap Stars Now, Wit Our Black Cars Now
Fortune 500 Listed, Brunches, Sip Cipriani`s
Sippin`, Blunted, With Rich White Guys Around Me
Thick White Girls Around Me, Chinese Lined Up
Because I`m What?, Every Dime Lust
We Used To Be A Ghetto Secret; Can`t Make My Mind Up
If I Want That Or The Whole World To Peep It
Now (carry On Tradition)
Fuck A Bum Wack Rapper Makin` His Career Out Of Dissin`
Peace To The Strugglin` Artists And Dead One`s Gone, We Miss `em
I Promise I (carry On Tradition)
[hook: Nas]
When They Crown You - And You Rise Up To Your Position
(carry On Tradition)
When They Knight You - Then You Go To Fight, Go To War, Don`t Petition
(carry On Tradition) - (carry On Tradition)
Carry On, Ca-carry On, (carry On Tradition)
(carry On Tradition), When You Rep What We Rep
Then (carry On Tradition)
