3rd Childhood Lyrics

3rd Childhood Lyrics

When I flow for the street, who else could it be?

N-A-S, Nas

Resurrect through the birth of my seed, Queensbridge

Make everything right, get yours

Is it time to take off the scully, the Timbs, and the fitted caps?

Time to let go of the weed, can't let the jeans sag?

Ozzy Osbourne still got his fingernails black

Rock and rollers still rebels, any age that they at

But with rap, it's a time limit? Never

I'm livin' proof, I'm the truth 'til if I live a-hundred-and-two

When I was young, I knew nothing, but then here comes a new lesson

From a older gentlemen dressed in Dior, he flexin'

He said, "It's not how old you are, it's how you feel"

Look here, I'm in my Air Max '87 still

Rastas still smokin', secluded out in the bush

Pimps still wearin' their derbies, people still dippin' snuff

That's how it stay true, ways we learn in the days of our youth

Seen a man, like eighty-two, he rocked his hat ace deuce

I'm goin' out hood, different from bein' a third childhood

Switched it up a little, but still, I'm goin' out hood

When I flow for the street, who else could it be?

N-A-S, Nas

Resurrect through the birth of my seed, Queensbridge

Make everything right, get yours, nigga

When I flow for the street, who else could it be?

N-A-S, Nas

Resurrect through the birth of my seed, Queensbridge

Make everything right, get yours

Hear me out now, back in the days, it sure was a time

Hear me out if I've been your age and you haven't been mine

As we get older and time great turns into mediocre

Good turns into so-so, bad just means that it could be better

I wrote a letter to the judge from Prince

A sharp minded man who thought his way about the pens

Corporations are not the genius that created gangster rap

Never give 'em credit for that, we made it that

I assisted Hip-Hop 50 to that worldy stage

And brought Kool Herc on stage

I made sure that Hip Hop Museum got paid

Matter fact, anything my name is involved with

Positivity revolves in it

Serendipitous, always move with confidence

You may not see me sweat, but trust, yo, I work hard for this

Grew up around heroin addicts before that crack shit

Crack was light compared to what the smack did

Y'all play with marbles, we play with dope fiend needles we found

Injected worms when the rain brought 'em up from the ground

It's nothin' changin', some of my men

We go back like daylight savings

My third childhood, that third course, that's the main dish

Hope we get dessert, that's the cherry on top

Peaceful Sundays, but we still carry the Glocks, registered

If you made it this far, then it's all good

It makes me proud, I love that we goin' out hood

When I flow for the street, who else could it be?

N-A-S, Nas

Resurrect through the birth of my seed, Queensbridge

Make everything right, get yours, nigga

When I flow for the street, who else could it be?

N-A-S, Nas

Resurrect through the birth of my seed, Queensbridge

Make everything right, get yours
