The Game, Nas - Letter To The King (Album Version (Explicit))(2008)

[00:42.72] Second floor my hotel I'm rollin up bout to blaze
[00:46.10] And zone out to this frankie beverly and mayes
[00:49.19] As our days about to pass and them days in the past
[00:51.96] He set my mind free so my mind free at last
[00:55.06] So much that I don't even drink from a f**kin glass
[00:58.14] Id rather find the first fountain I can and do it fast
[01:01.21] Didn't understand a dream of a king now do the math
[01:04.37] Coincidentally on your birthdays I ditched the class
[01:07.51] Cause the younger me, dumber me was chasin the cash
[01:10.42] Chasin the ass, low life with his face in the grass
[01:13.24] Ridin home from school in front of the bus
[01:16.34] Not even thinking bout how rosa parks done it for us
[01:19.61] How she stayed behind bars and she done it for us
[01:22.45] And she stayed behind bars till she won it for us
[01:25.58] Sometimes I wanna give up or at least take a break
[01:28.83] That's when I close my eyes and see coretta scotts face
[01:35.36] Cause sometimes I wanna give up or at least take a break
[01:38.65] That's when I close my eyes and see coretta scotts face? .
[02:17.69] Uh
[02:19.82] Word up game
[02:23.97] Standing at the pue panoramic view of the seating
[02:27.37] Greeting, I've been meaning to do me some letter reading, to the king
[02:31.25] He forever breathing your messages never leaving
[02:34.06] Some of your homies, phonies I should say it when I see them
[02:37.20] Them sleazy bastards, some greedy pastors, jerks
[02:40.07] Some should never be allowed in ebenezer baptist church, in atlanta
[02:43.63] Some people be patient I know this ghetto grammar
[02:46.30] But I'm a street dude normally I just speak rude
[02:49.27] Martin luther, the martyr, the trooper, hate killed him
[02:52.75] Noble peace prize winner they duplicate the feelin
[02:55.62] As a kid I ain't relate really, I was sayin dreams speech jokingly
[02:59.80] Till your world awoken me
[03:01.95] First I thought your were passive, soft one who xxx kissed
[03:04.51] I was young to be honest, I was feelin mohamed
[03:07.37] I ain't even know the strength you had to have to march
[03:10.31] You was more than just talk you were the first real braveheart
[03:12.26] We miss you
[03:15.88] Feels like king be in me sometimes?
[04:05.49] The word nigger is nothing like nigga
[04:09.17] Don't sound xxxx alike like game like jigga
[04:11.90] One came before the other like aim and pull the trigga
[04:15.13] One is slang for my brotha, one is hang and take a picture
[04:18.11] The rope ain't tight enough, he still alive go fix it
[04:21.11] Pour some gasoline on him, call his daughters black xxxxxxx
[04:24.48] Make him pick cotton, while they momma clean up the kitchen
[04:27.10] The same cotton in white tees that's the cotton they was pickin
[04:30.26] If dr. king marched today would bill gates march?
[04:33.55] I know obama would but would hillary take part?
[04:36.45] Great minds think great thoughts
[04:39.56] The pictures I paint make the mona lisa look like fake art
[04:42.98] I feel the pain of nelson mandela
[04:45.52] Cause when it rains it pours I need rihannas umbrella
[04:49.12] For coretta scotts tear drops
[04:50.73] When she got the phone call that the future just took a f**kin head shot
[04:56.48] I wonder why jesse jackson didn't catch him before his body dropped
[05:00.83] Would he give me the answer? probably not
[05:05.10]
