Nas Hero Lyrics

Nas – Hero (feat. Keri Hilson)

{Chorus - Nas & Keri Hilson}
Chain gleaming, switching lanes two seating
Hate him or love him for the same reason (FRESH)
Can’t leave it,the game needs him, plus the people need someone to believe in (YES)
So in Godson we trust, cause they know I’m a give them what they want
They looking for a (Hero)
I guess that makes me a (Hero)

[Nas]
Another chapter of the cleanest rapper, distinguished gentlemen
Crooks and castle on his back, Maybacher
Exotic lady eye catcher, holla at ya, call me the chiropractor
Work ya like Muai Thai class, get perspire out ya
And of course I been a boss since back when
Rocking D Boy, Fila, Velour in a 190 black Benz
Now they shut down the stores when I’m shopping
Used to be train robbing, face covered in stocking, I’m him

{Chorus}

[Nas]
Rubber grip holder, Re-loader
Come at me I’m a rip your soldiers in half
Silverback Ape, Nickel plated Mag'
Young rich and flashy, young bitch I’m nasty
All black clothes, the ice lay on me so classy
And every time I close my lids
I can still see the burrough, I can still see the bridge
Can still see the dreams that my niggas aint never live to see
Tell them angels open the door for me
From 9 Berettas and moving raw
To chilling in wine cellars, sticks in humidors, that’s what I call mature
That’s what I call a G, that’s what I call a pimp
That’s what I call a gangster to the fullest shit
I’m trying to make more cream by every September 14, that’s my dream
So I can be more clean as I grow yearly
I can see things more clearly that’s why they fear me

{Chorus}

[Nas]
It’s Universal apartheid, I’m hog tied, the corporate side
Blocking yall from going in stores and buying it
First LA and Doug Morris was ridin with it
But Newsweek articles startled Big Wigs
They said Nas why is you trying it
My lawyers only see the Billboard charts as winning, forgettin'
Nas the one and true rebel since the beginning
Still in musical prison, in jail for the flow
Try telling Bob Dillon, Bruce and Billy Joel they can’t sing what’s in their soul
So UNTITLED it is, I never changed nothing, but people remember this
If Nas can’t say a thing about these talented kids
With new ideas being told, but they can and can’t spit
I can’t sit and watch it, so shit I’m a drop it
like it or not you aint gotta cop it, I’m a hustler
In the studio puff some Don Julio
No matter what the CD called, I’m unbeatable yall, lets go!

[Outro - Polow Da Don]
Yeah...
Nas...
Polow Da Don.
