[Verse 1: Nas] Uh.. uh.. uh.. New York streets where killers'll walk like Pistol Pete And Pappy Mason, gave the young boys admiration Prince from Queens and Fritz from Harlem Street legends, the drugs kept the hood from starvin' Pushin' cars, Nicky Barnes was the '70s But there's a long list of high-profile celebrities Worldwide on the thorough side of things Livest kings, some died, one guy, one time One day grabs me, as I'm about to blast heat 40-side of Vernon, I turned while he asked me "What you up to? The cops gon' bust you." I was a teen drunk off brew Stumbled I wondered if God sent him 'Cause two squad cars entered the block And looked at us; I ain't flinch when they watched I took it upstairs, the bathroom mirror, brushed my hair Starin' at a young disciple I almost gave my life to what the dice do Yeah man, throwin' them bones Hopin' my ace get his case thrown His girl ain't wait for him, she in the world straight hoein' While he lookin' at centerfolds of pretty girls showin' They little cooch; gangstas don't die, he's living proof The D.A. who tried him was lyin' A white dude, killed his mother during the case Hung jury, now the D.A. is being replaced Pre-trial hearing is over, it's real for the soldier Walks in the courtroom, the look in his eyes is wild Triple-homicide, I sit in the back aisle I wanna crack a smile when I see him Throw up a fist for Black Power, 'cause all we want is his freedom He grabbed a court officer's gun and started squeezin' Then he grabbed the judge, screams out, "Nobody leavin' Everybody—" [Chorus: James Brown sample] Get down, get down! Get down, get down! Get, get, get, get, get, get, get down! Everybody Get down, get down! Get down, get down! Get, get, get, get, get, get, get down!
