Nas - Stillmatic (The Intro) Lyrics
Uh, you know I still run with that, that blood of a slave
Boiling in my veins
It's just hot until a nigga can't take it no more
Blood of a slave, Heart of a King
Turn my voice up
Ayo, the brother is "Stillmatic"
I crawled up out of that grave, wiping the dirt, cleaning my shirt
They thought I'll make another "Illmatic"
But it's always forward I'm moving
Never backwards stupid here's another classic
C-Notes is falling from the sky
By now the credits roll starring Nas executive poet, produced, directed by
The Kid slash Escobar
Narration describes the lives and laws tribes in the ghetto trying to survive
The feature opens with this young black child
Mary Jane girls, 45's playing, soft in the background
Poof from C-Town's mornings was hash browns
Stepped over dope fiends, walking out the door, all of us paw
I learned the difference between the snitches, the real ones, and who's soft
And the murderous, hungriest crews
People jumping from roofs, shotguns pumping made it through my youth
Walking very thin lines, ages seven and nine
That's the age I was on my album cover, this is the rebirth
I know the streets thirst water like Moses
Walking through the hot desert searching to be free
This is my end and my new beginning Nostalgia
Alpha and Omega places, it's like a glitch in the matrix
I seen it at all, did it all, most of y'all been pop for a minute
Spitters, sinners and the game get rid of y'all
Y'all got there but y'all didn't get it all, I want my style back
Hate to cease y'all plan it's the rap repo-man
To them double up hustlers, bidders, niggas who real
Professionals, stick up child's dreaming for meals
Let my words guide you, get inside you
From Crips to Pirus this is survival
Blood of a Slave, Heart of a King
Blood of a Slave, Heart of a King
Uh, uh Blood of a Slave, Heart of a King
Uh, yea
Huh, Braveheart

1:12 this is the rebirth passt gut zum albumcover sein schwanz ist tot ... Jesus lässt grüßen... die Auferstehung im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes...
I just remember being in highschool. walking in the cold winter weather bumping this out my head phones on the cd player. song was deep and mello, then right on the next track number 2, he viciously killed jay-z. lml
2001 the year that this album dropped Stillmatic and ever since it has changed my life a few highs and lows but overall learned a lot from QBs finest Nas Queens
Went to the Royalty Tour....BOMB ASS SHOW!

159 weak ass ops on deck watch them they got wire taps 😂
Its da RAP REPO MAN......GAAAT DAMN NAS
One of the sickest intros ever.

Greatest intro of all time
2019 n dis intro still better than most songs out now #faxz #truestory 🔥🔥🔥
I connected both phones on purpose
I think Nas and Jay-z have a lot in common.
An Eminem and Nas beef WOULD be something special if it were sincere
Stacy lattisaw.. sample.. (let me be your Angel) love this intro.
Let no one try to Compare Nas to any of these weak Rappers alive.The only Rapper that was better than Nas is Tupac. Case close!!!
Thank Alchemist for this beat
Rosalee Javier Benzino’s production team Hangmen 3 produced this classic, not Alchemist.
Classic
Mornings was hash browns 🔥 🔥

Blood of a slave....
On repeat... love love love

Nas > JAY-Z
Ironically one of Benzino production team produced this song
Yup..Benzino and two others. They called themselves Hangmen 3
My daughter use to laugh when I rapped this to her.. she was 8 months she still remembers song
One of the greatest artists EVER! A measuring stick for intelligent rappers! 🔥 🔥 🔥
