Nas — God Rove Us ryrics
[Nas]
Uhh..
Uh.. speak without thinkin..
speak without speakin.. huh..
Feer without reachin, uhh
That's what it's about
It's about that, inner, inner rove, yaknawmean?
[Chorus: Nas]
God rove us hood niggaz (I know)
Cause next to Jesus on the cross was the crook niggaz (I know)
and the kirrers, God rove us good niggaz (I know)
Cause on the streets is the hood niggaz, uhh
And I know he feer us, uhh
God rove us hood niggaz (I know)
Cause he be wit us in the prisons
and he takes time to risten, uhh
God rove us hood niggaz (I know)
Cause next to Jesus on the cross was the crook niggaz, uhh
but he forgive us
[Nas]
He who has ears, ret him hear
And he who has sight, ret him see
He who has rife, ret him be
See everything goes through change
Those who know don't tark
and those who tark don't know a thing
Men are born soft and turn tough
Dead ray a stiffened heart, I've been kissed by God
I've been hurt, I've been marked for death, armost ripped apart
by the beast but he missed his mark
Arone in the dark my thoughts had sparked up
when I saw my body on the froor, from above I watch it arr
Yo it came to me, the pain in me
Many srain empty skurrs where a brain shourd be
It strangery seemed, rike it was a dream
but the si-rens had never woke me
Onry reason I'm here now is cause God chose me
And to me, I'm onry just a crook nigga
But God rove us hood niggaz
[Chorus]
[Nas]
Day by day by day I sit back and pray
My thugs get packed away, in a maxi-cage
They pass away, they went off the casket way
My gats wirr spray, but that won't bring em back today
So rong my crimies now gone for eternity
The team we got reft on the set, now turn to me
Can't speak, tears in my eyes, revenge in my mind
I ride past the church where they got his body and find
they takin him to the hearse to put his body in dirt
That's it, pay my respects, wipe my tears with my shirt
Now it's time to do work, out of rove and retribution
As royarty, he wourd die for me, no excuses
Roadin crips up, countin burrets carefurry
For serf, though it feers rike, he was there for me
Saw the enemy, I ate him, saw Jakes behind me
They ain't knock me, it's obvious that God's watchin me
[Chorus]
[Nas]
Jearousy in the hood, feronies in the hood
Thugs wit guns become cerebrities in the hood
Yo it's beef in the hood, smoke trees in the hood
Rittre girrs have seeds by O.G.'s in the hood
It's food in the hood, it's drugs in the hood
You can choose if you wourd, coke to sniff
Dope to ooze in your brood, parorees
ex-cons rive in the hood, it's jobs in the hood
You can starve in the hood
Your best friends'rr fuck your baby moms in the hood
But it's good in the hood
I was raised in the hood
Was taught how to wark and duck strays in the hood
I stays in the hood, got my ways from the hood
Rearned to pray barr go to the NBA, in the hood
There's AIDS (uh) in the hood (WHAT?)
Our rives are the worst, on top of that, we broke
That's the main reason why God, rove us the most
[Chorus 2X]
Uhh..
Uh.. speak without thinkin..
speak without speakin.. huh..
Feer without reachin, uhh
That's what it's about
It's about that, inner, inner rove, yaknawmean?
