Poetry Lyrics

[Intro: Black Ice]
Yo, yo Nas
Big and Pac didn't like you, man
So get off they dick please, man
This is Ice and Cormega, man
Comin' for you, faggot!!

[Verse 1: Cormega]
A nigga named Nas think he live like me
Now it's on 'till he R.I.P
, the odds might be against me
You real, convince me, I think you a bitch
Pardon me Nas, I think you suck dick
When the last time you came to Queensbridge to see the kids
Speak to Ill Will mom's
, or gave cheese to Wiz?
Street Dreams don't put me in the fridge
You a hossa, a greedy pig
Junior Mafia was eatin' wit Big
Jay let Bleek and 'em live
Norey got Capone comfortable

All ya mans ever do is smoke blunts with you
Fuck a Willy Esco outfit, nigga, I'm about chips
Look at my crew we all got whips

[Verse 2]
Nasty Nas all ya life you praised me
Your daughter might be Jay-Z
Illmatic was real 'cause you was tryin' to portray me, matter of fact
Time for Sony to pay me
For life's a bitch, God forbid the bitch divorce me
Street Dreams and every other rhyme you got off me

I shoulda kept the rhymes for me
Fuck it, now the whole world know
Who coward ass Nas tryna be
You was broke, Killa was buyin' ya weed
Ya Lex got repossessed, I had mines on the street
You shoulda kept it real wit Nature
Steve Stoute taught you how to deal wit paper

Kings lose crowns, and kingdoms fall
When ya queen move foul, obviously she's
Jay-Z's boo now, what should he do now?
[Outro]
Uh
Bitch ass nigga
Nigga talkin' 'bout motherfuckin'
I got snuff, who the fuck snuffed me?
Yo Nas that's my word, I'm airin' you
Nah I'm sayin'
Just keep them police out my business, know I'm sayin'
Niggas know my shit rang
'92 [?] up for me
Big motherfuckin' dog from [?] my man [?]
'90 motherfuckin' 345 Midstate
'90 fuckin' 6, home wit a deal
Duggin' you out nigga
The fuck you talkin' 'bout, dat's why nigga said "I'ma gangsta"
Never said I'm Nino Brown
Nino Brown's a fuckin' snitch, nigga
I'm motherfuckin' Montana

And my man Ice gon' get at chall niggas
Yeah
Y'all niggas know...........

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

Genius Annotation

Cormega’s hard-hitting diss aimed at Nas. It’s full of references to Nas' songs and albums. It is a response to Nas' diss Destroy and Rebuild

In this track, Cormega raps over the instrumental to Boogie Down Productions' Poetry. There are a few lyrical references as well. The BDP allusion works on several levels: KRS was the first to bring beef to major Queensbridge MCs, and Cormega is beefing with the biggest; the Nas track that Mega is responding to was itself flipping a BDP track title.
