Nah Mean Lyrics

[Verse 2: Nas]
We celebrate like I finished probation, boy-boy
Knotty Head with no chaser, boy-boy
From the mouth, I can spit out a razor, boy-boy
Open up your facial like your boy Roy in his prime
Eat food, dinnertime, Jr. Gong, pass the Guinness
Handle business, black Velvet sippers
Females never bid us farewell, they with us
'Cause we arrive on the scene just like a high beam, nah mean?
Don't let us have to make the 9 scream, nah mean?
At your racial policin' regime, nah mean?
Spiritual like a Elohim, nah mean?
In a casino or a yacht, wherever I'm seen
My brothers and sisters are never forgot, nah mean?
Don't wanna hear another soldier drop, nah mean?
Another dope addict get shot with the morphine
And Feds are indictin' my block, nah mean?
They're wearin' red from they shoes to they top, nah mean?
I'm wishin' that all the violence would stop, nah mean?!

[Verse 3: Damian Marley]
We nuh like the sound of siren, nah mean?
And some bwoy soft like ice cream, nah mean?
From a bwoy mek the Feds intervene, nah mean?
We send a bwoy go tek intravene, nah mean?
Parabellum dem a itch up inna spleen, nah mean?
Inna Queens, gunman reign Supreme, nah mean?
Kingstonians are real blood fiends, nah mean?
The world is a big crime scene, nah mean?

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

Samples an African song by Sara Chaves named Kurikute. This is as close as Distant Relatives gets to a gangsta rap song. From clashes with authorities to living large off illegal dollars over a old school sounding beat of tamborines and a snare.
