Nas - Wanna Play (Rough?) Lyrics
[Verse One:]
Yo, the Lord is my shepard
The sword is my weapon
Reward is a blessin', that comes from the struggle
'cause where I'm from the young chooses a gun
before they choose an education
but once dead their ain't no awakenin'
so like once said, life aint for fakin
yo, you wit' me when I say duct tape 'em?
fuck waitin'
got the truck outside, Benz jeep for navigation
everything in position, they'd rather be fuckin' wit' Satan
when I aim I aint missin', master of assasination'
I heard he call himself Esco, drive a Lexo
is this the truth?
this is what we do, sip a brew
wait around his crib until it turns around two AM
as soon as he walks in the door we slay 'em
you guys got fat while I was away, so start payin'
[Chorus] Okay, you wanna play rough?!
[gun shots] [scratching - a thug changes, and love changes] [x3]
Okay yo, we could play rough!
[Verse Two:]
Okay now, drive up to my crib, am I high enough?
who these niggas tryin' to hide in their truck
I aint order cable, why in the fuck these niggas
ducked in they seat? are they lookin' for me?
but I aint do shit, could it be that niggas thought
I slept like B.I.G. and Pac did
may they rest in peace, but while I'm alive I pop shit
P-11 glock spits 17 shot clips
put these niggas in boxes, where they Moms and Pops is
pull the strap from under the seat
back up in the street
watch these niggas thats tryin' to watch me, I carefully creep
take off my shoes, barefoot nigga poppin' my heat
empty every shell in their direction
its you, I should've guessed it!
same niggas that I was connected wit', I know sent you
now I'm'a take you off here, you dont know what you got into
[Chorus]
[Verse Three:]
Walked in his house, smackin' him up, "what you talkin' about?" he said
shut-up nigga! knocked him in his head with chrome
never thought I'd be in his home
with his wife taped up for my niggas to bone
fuckin' with me, you should've known
I'll have 'em write "stupid nigga" on your tombstone
what money can do, get you hit for less than a G
for threatenin' me
I'm'a do it myself, take you to Hell, this ones for free
killin' you niggas with nothin'
left him dead, engine runnin'
you the only I'm makin' sure that gets whats comin'
look at your Woman, anal ripped out, its your fault
they gang banged your bitch out in your face and you saw it
but before I let you have it I'm searchin' your crib
for pictures of relatives, addresses to where they live
shit like that, incase a nigga wanna strike back
I'll be right up in his ass to blow 'em out with the Mac
niggas treat you like Fam, and you on it like that?
now you gotta lay flat, gettin' eatin' by rats
gettin' even's never wrong, its only right to react
eye for an eye, 'cause the sweetest part is payback
somebody kncokin', who dat?
"a cop man", let him in
and give that mothafucka one under the chin
cant believe this nigga down with the Feds!
the copped screamed out your government before he dropped dead
dont explain, I put the pound on his head
blew 'em! before that I cant remember the last time I said......
Okay, so we gonna play rough!
[Chorus]

I had the same bootleg version but mine had that Mary J song with Nas and DMX
Yeah the original I Am double disc LP would've been one of the best double disc albums of all time.
Bootlegging really messed up Nas at times.
Stone Kapolo true I was looking for this to drop a lot of people don’t even it was supposed to be a double album this would have change hip hop
That’s crazy because my playlist is the same
This is harder than most tracks these days,Fire!

@TheHipHopAP Already did by now! Film, Wanna Play Rough, Too Hot, Come Take A Ride, U Wanna Be Me, Confusion, Snitch Alibi, Foul Breeze, Gangsta Tears, Stillmatic Freestyle, Shine On, Who Are You, Don't Body Yourself, Hey Young World.
Got a lot of great unreleased tracks now!
@Nottowaysfinest1 I fully agree all the way. I respect the positive side of Nas and all, but to me, he needs to go back to that "Ether" shit. Also, it wouldn't hurt to do a few hard-core lyrics like this song from time to time.
Yeah this song is ridiculously good. Definitely album worthy and it's a shame I never heard it before today.
Yeah.. OK you Wanna Play Rough. Classic Jam
@foxybrownbaby so did i in like 97 i had a mock version of the i am cd with all those tracks it would have been a better cd than the one he released
This tune is so sick. I almost forgot about this one!
@barkanator tere should be a lost tapes 2 for the fans :) with this track, gangsta tears, film and maybe some more jewels!
