Adam & Eve Lyrics - Nas

[Verse 1] 

The ghetto, Othello, the Moor 

Oh my God, they speak venomous on the boy 

Oh my Lord, my enemy is fear, and I'm sure 

Oh my God, they want the end of me 'cause I'm pure 

Oh my Lord, discipline for the win, I just go for it 

It's a trend for these men to die on their own sword 

Journey far, learn who you can be 

But you can learn who you are when you around family 

Chip off their shoulders and soldiers, on they grizzle 

My granddaddy Mac Little married Dandy Little 

They passed down wisdom, blessings were given 

Pray my sins don't get passed to my children 

I made a killin', I'm alive like the morning star 

Court Jordan's for the price on stock, so what the Hornets are? 

I need evaluations, I'm savvy y'all 

Eatin' foie gras and caviar, listen

[Chorus] 

Adam and Eve 

Don't fall too far from the apple tree, ayy 

Adam and Eve, Adam and Eve 

Don't fall too far from the apple tree, apple tree 

[Verse 2] 

The ghosts of gangsters dance 

Chinchillas shake on the hanger, the force of this banger 

Yeah, my language advance, my cadence amazin' 

The voice triggers somethin' 

What is this conundrum? 

The clouds scurry, your spirit rumble, a boyish smile 

Still puff the loud, it's nothin' less than a quarter pound 

Savage narrative, every verse that I write bursts light 

Brings awareness to my personal life 

After my morning walk, Havana cigar, the ganja spark 

See my doctor more, sweatin' the sauna or the spa 

Spendin' fifty large at the Bellagio 

Spent twenty on a bad bitch I hardly know 

New girl every night, two girls was every other night 

Sexual addiction, gangster tradition 

They wanna fuck me, have me under they belt, slightly offended 

Yeah, that's how I felt, that's how it ended 

I'm just good at existin', existed in my truth 

As long as I enjoy the fruit, yeah

[Chorus] 

Adam and Eve 

Don't fall too far from the apple tree, ayy 

Adam and Eve, Adam and Eve 

Don't fall too far from the apple tree, apple tree 

[Verse 3] 

What come first, peace or the paper? 

Before I had a piece of paper, peace was in my favor 

Before I sat to eat at the table it had leeches and traitors 

Cut the fat from the meat, extract the weak, bon appetit 

No bacon, brothers is swine 

It's so hard to trust 'em 'cause my hustle is mine 

It's evident they all the same 

With gray hair and still mean muggin' 

Gray hairs of wisdom, that means you seen somethin' 

Say somethin', you stay frontin' 

But these clowns got false crowns, fictional kings 

You broke my heart, Fredo 

You bring this thing of ours down to a fable 

Be advised my guys dryin', enterprisin' at the boss's table 

There's always room at my table 

Insecurities is keepin' you disabled 

All this money to get, is it less time? 

They ain't stopped printin' money, 'cause they made mine 

I learned to stretch time, these are the best times 

I'm in my neighborhood in stadiums, the Mets' kind 

With restaurants and Carbone, spicy rigatoni 

Go hard, a red Bordeaux, oh God! 

[Outro] 

Adam and Eve 

Don't fall too far from the apple tree, ayy 

Adam and Eve, Adam and Eve 

Don't fall too far from the apple tree, apple tree
