Legit

Legit (Explicit) - Nas

Composed by：Nasir Jones/Chauncey Hollis Jr

Is there a heart

Is there a heart in the house tonight

Brave hearts

Stand up stand up

Let me know let me know if you understand

Is there a heart

Is there a heart in the house

You gotta have love

Yeah

You gotta have love in your heart

Yeah my beginnings was intense

Who'd have thought I'd go legit

For sure yeah yeah

We comin' blacker than Black Panther 2

Nobody done stirred ask the truth

Never go against the family that's somethin' you don't do

Don't get Eddie Kane'd tryna sing your way back in the group nah

Stars in the ceilin' God's Son in the buildin'

Rep that 718 it's hard to depart from that feelin'

Careful sellin' weight the DEA be watchin' you dealin'

Get yourself straight before they find that paraphernalia

For those who claim a hundred million on taxes beautiful actresses

Street dudes who turn activist who used to move packages

No Nas still here to remove the wall that I'm back against

Legitimized all your hustles before the gavel hit

Oh

It takes more than love

It takes wakin' up early to face the moment debatin'

Should I save it or blow it

I mean it's only some paper

None of my neighbors too nosy the Jones is on it some acres

To be the greatest is lonely but it chose me I take it

Whatever the case may be I'm out of space OD

NASA without the A at the end take off on three

What's the cost of a CD when fifteen-hundred places one sell

What's that to fifteen-hundred peas on one scale

For a starvin' artist tryna sneak out and reroute

Originality I seek out let's clean house

To black home owners check it out

To black home owners take over and throw the lease out

This that movie real the Jordan Peele of this thing low-key

Boss **** pull the strings behind the scenes

On my soul this for my kids and the cultured I done did

All them O's I tried to flip who'd have thought I'd go legit

Yeah

And the cultured I done did

Uh-huh

Pretty girls who let me hit who'd have thought I'd go legit

Yeah

And the culture that you did

That's right

All them O's you tried to flip who'd have thought you'd go legit

Grown man business come in closed jail visits

Stove still lit Mini still on the scales with us

System failed my n***as in the trial hearin'

No bail I witness showed up and snitches

My Reggie's is diary and ran to tell the streets

No this ain't no hype we in the belly of the beast
