After you finish reading or listening tell me if you've seen same things he's talking about happened in your surroundings. I'm sure you have.
Nas a true genius in his depiction.
2nd verse:
Yo, dude is 31 living in his mom crib
Ex, convict was paroled there after his long bid
Cornrow in his hair,still slinging, got crew
They break his mom furniture watching comicview
Got babies by different ladies high smoking L's
in the same spot he stood in 85 well
Well when his stash slow he be crazy
Say he by his moms hit her on her payday
Junior high school drop out, teachers never cared
They were paid just to show up, and leave no one succeeds
So he moves with his peers,different blocks, different years
Sittin on different benches like they were musical chairs
All his peoples moved on his life,he is on the corners at night
with young dudes, it's them he wanna be like
It's sad but it's fun to him right?He never grew up
31 and can't give his youth up, he's in his second childhood
Baby girl she's always talking name droppin hanging late
Drinking smoking hates her baby daddy,craves shoppin
E poppin,Ectasy takin, won't finish her education
Best friend she keeps changin,stuck with limitations
Lustin men,many hotels, fendi chanel
With nothin in her bank account frontin she doin well
Her kid suffers he don't get that love he deserves
He the sun, she the Earth,single mom, even worst
No job never stay working,mad purty
Shorty, they call her the brain surgeon
Time flying, she the same, never matures
All her friends married, doin well
She's in the streets, Yakkati yakkin like she was 12
Honey is 27, argues,fights
Selfish in her own right,for life, guess she's in her second childhood
