It was written
Ask Nas, it was written
Mmm
Fantasy life
Mhmm, yeah
[?] yuh sih?
Yeah

Dem ah shithead, we ah sickhead
Wi fully different, bare fire pon mi spliff head
[?] diligent when yuh see Shotty and yuh see Queng
Fuck ah yuh yard, don't fuck 'round Skillibeng
'Cause it spend, when wi look it fi spend
Gimmi every cent
Mi nuh play from mi sweat
Nuh go [?], wi see green, wi nuh see red
New style risen, gi' dem donkey lengths
[?] when mi mix mi style wid mi lyrics dem
Shovel inna cement, dah one yah prevalent
[?], wi nuh chicken, wi nuh pretend
Wi friggin' intence
Dem ah use big elements

Fi dem style [?], dat mean mi nuh see dem
Mi approach ah gi' dem living hell
1996 it was written (Past Nas)

Gun power mi strength
Bone-bruker defense
Haffi have it fi bore dem head (Yeah)
Watch dah mouth deh when yuh select
Any bwoy nuh watch dem watch haffi watch demself
Old dawg [?], bare money mi medz
Send mummy guh collect ah check
Man ah finesse wid di big Tec
Mi fill it wid lead
Dawg, who ready fi dead?
EastSyde, wi nuh carry fishy decent
When yuh see 'beng, nuh invert, just relent
Pon di East coast ah just clip bend
Gyal haffi beg pon di pole, mek e quint, yeah

Fi dem style [?], dat mean mi nuh see dem
Mi approach ah gi' dem living hell
1996 it was written

It was written
Ask Nas, it was written
Ask Nas, it was written
Ask Nas, it was written
Mix mi style wid mi lyrics dem
Shovel inna cement, dah one yah prevalent
[?], wi nuh chicken, wi nuh pretend
Wi friggin' intence
Dem ah use big elements
