Nas Lyrics: Escobar '97 Lyrics

Nas - Escobar '97

Chorus:

Honies cash weed cars

ghetto celebrities 'hood movie stars

gat slingers now rap singers are who we are

went from Nasty to Nas to Nas to Escobar

The path we all walk starts out long it's like a boardwalk

monopoly some make it around some go down it's prophecy

happy days balancing with life's atrocities

hoppin' in v's knowin' some day I got to lead properly

high up in a five realizing the price paid

for this life laid in the light shade

one might say, top of the world's two whips, a crib and a girl

quick to celebrate it, poppin' corks like they made it

pretentious, arrogant niggas is senseless

pro ball players with white wives, peep they night lives

while you could catch me in a crisp white five

dark tinted, dijon-scented, with Al Green on

my theme song, love and happiness, how can it seem wrong

I mean before this, I used to rock a taurus with the donuts

now I grown up, got it chromed up

got the rap game sewn up, sho-nuff

niggas acting cool, but it's really no love

I feel a slow buzz, off the dutch

this is everyday, every second

got to make it pay, every lesson I learnt

got me open while most of these rappers'll stay burnt

Chorus 2x (the second time "Honies" changes to Money")

With so much drama in QBC, it's kinda hard being Escobarro

Elderado Red, sippin' Dom out the bottle

my life is like a Donald Goines novel

we wave glasses like bravo

drunk niggas with mad problems, and shot pockets

my niggas from the block rock this,

box cocaine, cook it and chop it

looking to profit, in different ways

goin' through this difficult stage, called life

but each year my physical'
