Stillmatic (the Intro) Lyrics - Stillmatic - Nas

Yo, I still run wit that, 

that blood of a slave, boiling in my veins 

that blood of a slave, heart of a king 

turn my voice up 

Ayo the brotha's Stillmatic 

I crawled up outta my grave, wipin' the dirt 

cleanin' my shirt, they thought I'd make another Illmatic/ 

But it's always foward I'm movin', never backwards stupid/ 

here's another classic, C-notes are fallin' from the sky/ 

by now the credits rollin' starrin' Nas executive poet/ 

produced-directed by the kid slash Escobar/ 

narration descibes the lives of lost tribes in the ghetto tryin' to suvive/ 

the feature opens wit this young black child/ 

fingers scratch, cigarette burns in the sofa/ 

turnin' the TV down while Mary Jane Girls 45's playin/ 

soft in the backround, food from C-Town, mornings was hashbrowns/ 

stepped over dope fiends, walkin' out the door 

all of us poor/ I learned the difference between the snitches 

the real ones and who's soft and the murderous/ 

hungriest crews, people jumpin' from roofs, shotguns pumpin' 

made it through my youth/ walk a very thin line 

ages seven to nine/ that's the age I was on my album cover/ 

this is the rebirth, I know the streets thirst/ 

water like Moses, walkin' through the hot desert 

searchin' to be free, this is my ending and my new beginning 

Nostalgia, alpha and omega places, it's like a glitch in the Matrix/ 

I seen it all and did it all, most of y'all pop for a minute, 

spit a sentence then the game will get rid of y'all, 

Y'all got there but y'all ain't get it all/ 

I want my style back, hate to cease ya plan, it's the rap repo man/ 

to them double up hustlas 

bitter niggas who real, professionals stick up kids dreamin' for mils/ 

let my words guide you, get inside you 

from Crypts to pyros this is survival/
