J Cole - Give Nas Prop Lyrics

GIVE NAS PROPS

Hook:
Long live the idols, may we never be your rivals
Pac was black Jesus, Nas narrated the Bible
You hearing an African homage to legends and kings
Mam-DY, my mentor, this is how the story begin

Verse:
I discovered Nas on Nastradamus some called it a failure
And though I went through his catalog its still one of my favorite
So Cole, you see even Nas had moments niggas weren't feeling
But he's still the realest, a menace, to folks who dont know what real is
Heard you met him at the airport, saw the honor on his face while he bumped your shit
Wish we could trade places, hopes he bumps to this
With hopes he might notice, no jokes,he'll smile to this, know this
Was 1 5 in 9 9 listening to new world
My older bro not a rap fan but he could relate
From Joburg mum return with Pac's "Me Against the World"
And since then, its been ten, and I'm still kicking till date
Was crown king of Conakry, bouta restore the monarchy
Cole, ask that girl Paulette she can't get enough of me
And Balla et ses Balladins that some Guinean legacy
Shout out to Brian Kidd, I hope he ripped the shit legally
My Nubee D A B O put me on to J Cole
Told me the nigga ill and it seems he here to stay though
Cuz he's a Jay fan, thought he ws just tryna praise
Downloaded a couple J Coles, felt the heat tryna stay cold
Damn! this nigga ill for real, plus he's from the ville
Spittin that east coast feel, and he so real
Had me wanna disappear and reappear in his sphere
Be in a position to talk to Nas, a moment I will cheer
A moment I won't share
Fuck a bitch, I cut her hair
If she tries to interfere
You taught me life's a bitch, life is good, but life ain't fair
They biases don't award you cause your shit is sincere
Its from the heart nigga, true to the art nigga
You been an illmatic dude since the start nigga
20 years same attitude, army jacket swag nigga
Projections got young rappers eyes on the chart figures
Protocol of the game, it pretty cold in the game
Selling souls for the fame, J you got Cole in ur name
So go cold on the lames
I put jewels in these lines, fuck the gold in your chains nigga
And I know Nas been balling way before Niggas in Paris
He was rocking with NTM Supreme dem dudes from St. Denise
Affirmative Action, AZ spat the slickest intro
That made me wanna sit back, relax, sip a cognac
Back then I couldn't understand the lines
The slangs and accents of that NY state of mind
It took me years to figure "Come Get Me" were shots at Jay
Like Nas, I can end this without giving pros to Jay
But when y'all was at war, for sure I couldn't rock with Jay
I'd throw that Roc away, I could had even cocked A K (4 7)
But y'all were wiser to not let the gats to spray
Cause we didn't wanna see another Big and Pac ordeal
So it felt good to yall end in love
Nas said "takes real men to squash beef, end it with hugs"
If I should name a rapper he influenced, its me 7NiM$
Call it seven times cause after this you ain't forgetting me
Bitch, im here to conquer not to settle in
And I don't need the rock, it KO, we not wrestling
I'mma NWA with some Ice Cube Vaseline
That Nigga Against Society lyrically blesses me
Though I'mma born sinners, lost till we become winners
Tryna make some cake fuck a 9 to 5 peanuts
Cole you know the codes
Fuck the world cause life's a bitch
Fuck your girl, cause now you're rich
And tell her that's a don's penis
Tumany 7NiMS, a street disciple, son of god with no God Son tat on the belly
Just a sincere nubee like that dude in belly
Nasir Jones, not snitching but his name yelling
Hook:
Give Nas Prop, from illmatic to stillmatic and still at it Give Nas Props
20th anniv coming soon, would there be a thrillmactic? Lets Go

Long live the idols, may they never be your rivals
Pac was black Jesus, Nas narrated the Bible
You hearing an African homage to legends and kings
Mam-DY, my mentor, this how far the story expands
