2nd Childhood Lyrics - Stillmatic - Nas

[Nas] Yeah, hahaha

"Nas." 

[Nas] 

Yo 

Explode, my thoughts were drunken from quarts of beers 

Was years back, before Nasir would explore a career in rap 

As a music dude, I mastered this Rubik's Cube 

Godzilla, fought Gargantua, eyes glued to the tube 

Was a, long time ago, John Boy Ice 

Geronimo po-lice jumpin out Chryslers, easywider paper 

Pops puffin his sess, punchin his chest like a gorilla 

Outside was psychoes, killers 

Saw Divine, Goon and Chungo, Lil' Turkey 

R.I.P. Tyrone, 'member no cursin front of Ms. Vercey 

Big Percy, Crazy Paul, the Sledge Sisters 

My building was 40-16, once in the blue, hallways was clean 

I knew, all that I'd seen had meant somethin 

Learned early, to fear none little Nas was huntin 

Livin carefree laughin, got jokes on the daily 

Y'all actin like some old folks y'all don't hear me 

Yo I'm in my second childhood

Yo, dude is 31, livin in his moms crib 

Ex-convict, was paroled there after his long bid 

Cornrows in his hair, still slingin, got a crew 

They break his moms furniture, watchin Comicview 

Got babies by different ladies high smokin L's 

in the same spot he stood since, eighty-five well 

When his stash slow, he be crazy 

Say he by his moms, hit her on her payday 

Junior high school dropout, teachers never cared 

They was paid just to show up and leave, no one succeeds 

So he moves with his peers, different blocks, different years 

Sittin on, different benches like it's musical chairs 

All his peoples moved on in life, he's on the corners at night 

with young dudes it's them he wanna be like 

It's sad but it's fun to him right? He never grew up 

31 and can't give his youth up, he's in his second childhood

[Chorus] 

[Nas] 

Baby girl she's always talkin name droppin hangin late 

Drinkin smokin hates her baby daddy, craves shoppin 

E poppin Ecstasy takin, won't finish her education 

Best friend she keeps changin, stuck with limitations 

Lustin men, many hotels, Fendi Chanel 

With nothin in her bank account frontin she do well 

Her kid suffers he don't get that love he deserve 

He the Sun, she the Earth, single mom, even worse 

No job never stay workin, mad purty 

Shorty they call her the brain surgeon 

Time flyin she the same person, never matures 

All her friends married doin well 

She's in the streets yakkety yakkin like she was 12 

Honey is twenty-seven, argues fights 

Selfish in her own right for life, guess she's in her second childhood 

[Chorus] 

"Who else could it be." - "N-A-S" - "Nas."
