Re-birth Lyrics - Az

I'm back first and foremost; i'd like to thank nas 

for allowing me to have be on the illmatic, and that stillmatic joint 

changed the game a whole lot, secondly i'd like to thank the notorious b.i.g. 

who put brooklyn on the map, you the revolution of that era 

and all the artists that came after the era we started 

i'd like to thank the east coast, west, the north, dirty dirty 

this is my story, welcome me back 

For all those i still speak to guess we still peoples' 

life's more peaceful when you low and you eating legal 

certain niggas never spoke now it's peace to see you 

it's a different side 'cuz it's the streets too, pleased to meet you 

just think i was a thief and kieful 

sold coke even dabbled in a bit of diesel 

scare ridded saw the light and i slid wit it, left the life 

but for the price i can live wit it we all pawn 

know a few niggas that's coming home 

could see 'em now in that '86 summer zone 

hope they adapt, whatever led niggas to smoking cracks 

knew a few that went too far for me to coach 'em back 

what a waste, this little blood niggas'll cut ya face 

catching a case'll make you fuck around and touch your safe 

this all i know, intelligence is all i show 

i'm from the roots and the truth is that i love the doe, welcome me back huh 

You attract some of the baddest when you platinum status 

that's why i stay with prophylactics after what happened to magic 

six days of my creation had to relax on the sabbath 

remember asking certain niggas to past me a package 

i was blind moving ass backwards 

but you can bet it was the grind that made the cash massive 

back on my feet, accapella used rap to no beats 

on the run, dun, was the first one to clap at police 

i ever saw, can never catch me in the presents of flaws 

push the accord in '94, mack11 in the board 

who wanna bring it? since nas, niggas swore i was queensbridge 

that's surprising from the wise i was taught to be lenient 

move in silence, my moms claimed my music was violent 

had to school her, let her know that i'm a user of talents 

many faces, gucci sneakers with the skinny laces 

fendi sweats and begets all up in the bracelets 

welcome me home, huh
