Nas - Not Going Back Lyrics






[Nas]
What nigga! What bitch-ass niggaz! What! Babe, babe, start the car!

[Kelis]
Nasir, come on let's go! Get in the car now, let's go! Throw it out, let's go!

[Nas]
Aight, aight, aight, yeah. But I got 'em. But I got 'em, though.

[Kelis]
This is crazy, why didn't you just throw it out of the car?
This is so stupid, what are you doing? Why are we even out here?
Why are we out here? What's going on? This is retarded, yo we gotta..
This is crazy. Never again. You'd throw everything away, for what?

[Nas: laughs]
Yeah, my man Kool G Rap told me son do not look back
Chill up in the mansion with a fat glutious max, relax
When people act schoolin' with facts, tell 'em
At this point in my life I'm all about chillin'
Ridin' around in something sick and the dress flies
And twist, homie's hermano just died I gotta let it ride
That's what I got the public thinkin' my nigga
Just cause I ain't in the hood don't mean shit my nigga
I know who died before the body dropped
I know the guns that were used how much money the shooter got
Cause on the private yacht I'm still within earshot of it all
The top ten list of the most grimiest guys of all time
Is all we talk when we talk of New York y'all
Who to call and who to stay away from
Whose mother's address to have just to play it safe son
Women they lust up so quick to give 'em up
What cars and what trucks they drive in what towns
They spend the most time in when they grindin'
I found out most of them are cowards they hidin'
Behind reputations that's sour
Not going back

[Kelis]
The streets keep tryin' to say
Come back around this way
I've already gone that way
I won't go back today

[Nas] I'm not goin' back

[Kelis]
The streets keep tryin' to say
Come back around this way
I've already gone that way
I won't go back today

[Nas] I'm not goin' back

[Nas]
First thing that happen when you make a little paper
You think the Marriot is livin' in a skyscraper
Till you come across some ever more flyer paper
Realize that five-star 'tellies are even greater
Terry-cloth robes, elegance, movie shit
Heated-up marble floors with jacuzzis in it
First-class flights, diamonds in your crucifixes
All those things you still ain't really doin' shit kid
Cause in reality I'll earn my salary
The way I flaunted it then would now embarrass me
It kinda make me wanna hate bling it's a race thing
How they sell blacks to bootleg shit infact
Real millionaires spend 60 mil on paintings
Whores charge niggaz with raping
Cause we come out doors of Maybach cars
Watch us make bets on race tracks smokin' cigars
So they counter the laws to take what's ours
Bout 500K on a lawyer to beat the charge
So you can't stop us from making a billion dollars
Instead of goin' back I'm buying the projects
But I'm not going back
The hood's in me forever y'all
But I'm not going back

[Kelis]
The streets keep tryin' to say
Come back around this way
I've already gone that way
I won't go back today

[Nas] I'm not goin' back

[Kelis]
The streets keep tryin' to say
Come back around this way
I've already gone that way
I won't go back today

[Nas]
And of course y'all know what I'm not going back to
Those no friends of mine..
(And I'm not going back to)
Ten carat gold it shine..
(And I'm never going back to)
Sony if they don't have dough to sign..
(Not going back to)
Y'all know that I'm not going back to
Those liars who would..
(Not going back to)
Not help you if they could..
(Not going back to)
Coke on the stove in the hood..
Y'all should know that I'm not going back
The hood's in me forever y'all
But I'm not going back

[Kelis]
The streets keep tryin' to say
Come back around this way
I've already gone that way
I won't go back today

[Nas] I'm not goin' back

[Kelis]
The streets keep tryin' to say
Come back around this way
I've already gone that way
I won't go back today

[Nas] I'm not goin' back

  35. C.... v....

    "Real millionaires spent money on paintings" this was expressed by Nas first way before people say Jay Z started saying it. Nas and Dame been on this.

    C.... v....

    exactly...Nas BEEN saying shit like that. Jay drop ONE semi conscious album and folks act like it was just invented

    C.... v....

    Igororance must be Bliss

  36. b.... 2....

    escobar, nastradamus

  37. s.... b....

    blast that intro

  38. M.... L....

    FCK Trap music !!! FCK new generation !!!

    M.... L....

    Mandi Labi Nas is releasing a new album in 2018! Still good artists doing stuff, just underground. I agree though, the trap rap is shit

    M.... L....

    The boi you know what is ridiculous? How can you call your self Rapper when you make Trap music ?! Wtf lol...you should call yourself Trappers lol...Rapper is Nas,Ice Cube,Rakim etc. Not Drake,Lil Wayne and nowadays bullshit. Thank God we got still Nas who is gona drop new album in 2018

    M.... L....

    Mandi Labi yeah most of them aren't even rapping anymore. They don't go fast at all, they got no bars and they use shitty adlibs to hide the fact they don't have any flow. Tbh it's always gonna happen if a genre gets popular. The masses don't want good music, they want catchy stuff they can overplay for 3 months and then never listen to again. The meaning behind lyrics has never mattered for pop.

    Plus, the illuminati or whatever you wanna call it (I honestly think something like it exists) don't want too many people to hear real artists

    M.... L....

    The boi I agree about everything you said bro, Good for us to keep listening real rap.

  39. C.... H....

    Change,, nigga anit ready for it

  40. C.... G....

    Not Going Back! I LUV NAS!!

  41. C.... L....

    nas is nasty one of the best lyrical ever

    C.... L....

    Chancetta Lee The best* (lyricist* also)

  42. �.... �....

    magaria dzaan telashi maq ukve

  43. r.... S....

    That's what I grew up off of real shit these new rappers ..... y'all fans need to talk to em I ant bought rap in 5 years they ant talking bout shit

  44. E.... B....

    only 34,000 views on a nas song ... smfh ... just more proof that no one wants to here real shit anymore ...

  45. l.... 5....

    "Chillin up in a mansion with a fat gluteus max." That was the best wordplay I heard. Like if u even understand.

  46. C.... D....

    hahaha to those who know what we about we are walking liberty

  47. C.... D....

    lol some real shit how he started laughing lmfao

    C.... D....

    Craig Donjay lol on my momma

  48. C.... D....

    this is my shit the realest g shit qb to crown heights..and now lmao money all capece

  49. T.... S....

    Hip - Hop is Dead But J.Cole brought it back

    T.... S....

    Travis Scott Kendrick Lamar too bro!!

    T.... S....

    Charles Hamilton is Music for post 2000 artists, if you truly love music you explore the endless supply little by little to find authentic gems created just for you it seems or get stuck with Zales meager offerings, no doubt they carry beautiful stones but I would just have to hope they didn't sell me a fake because I'd always have to take someone else's word for it. My top 50 Nas tracks would probably only have 5-10 of the tracks in your top 50 for Nas but dude is only 1 of 2 people with over 100 classic tracks

    T.... S....

    Joey Badass

  50. L.... b....

    25k views???WTF

    L.... b....

    it's shocking how such an amazing song got this many views

  51. T.... ....

    Still one of best song ever the meaning is amazing

  52. S.... S....

    I miss real rap like this

    S.... S....

    I hate arguments like that. Real rap is still here you've just got to search for it.

    S.... S....

    Everyti.e i ride pass"Cherry Hill'? ..ithink of this song:/

  53. M.... ....

    my shit

  54. C.... K....

    The lyrics in this song are straight fire !! Love it

  55. M.... F....

    this deserves way more views. wat the hell is wrong with this generation

    M.... F....

    Michael Frazier this album is underrated
    Work of art

    M.... F....

    at least cole and kendrick picked up the torch, the internet made it easy to blow up, no real skills needed just attention. kids get on the net like it and next thing you know there a star, but we know these new niggas are not close to the legends

    M.... F....

    dumb it down era, like nas and the beastie boys said , to many rappers , all the monsters get over shadowed by the bullshut,

    M.... F....

    i am agree with u and i am of these generation

    M.... F....

    The new generation can't compare to Nas, Common,Pac, Biggie, DMX, Twista,BTNH etc,

  56. v.... k....

    How the hell this song gets only 17k views? It's disgrace.

    v.... k....

    4real. this is one of nas best songs. people rather listen to crap like fetty wap. sad world we live in but at least we are the last remaining true hip hop fans

    v.... k....

    been uploaded many times on different channels unfortunately

    v.... k....

    i have this album track 12 let there be light. amazing. people never look past the stupid title or "radio" track. s many bitch about this album but its fire

    v.... k....

    65k views in 2k18

  57. S.... G....

    One of the better nas tracks IMO.. It's a shame it's as underrated as it is

    S.... G....

    I think this track and really this CD is for those who "get it."

    S.... G....

    To me nas in general is underrated because not enough people understand his word play and lyrics

    S.... G....

    Ridge Spy It’s become trendy for niggas to say “Nas fell off after Illmatic” , not true whatsoever, he’s one of the most poetic rappers Ever, and have definitely had just as good albums after Illmatic

    S.... G....

    @AR.ZPoint It Was Written is his best album imo

  58. K.... M....

    Love this. Somehow I forget to listen to this more.

    At this point of my life I'm all about chillen'

  59. m.... v....

    Mad emotional

  60. Y.... R....

    Nas true Thug
