She passed me the indigo, but the imbecile
Should have never tippy-toed, thought my eyes were closed
Opening the hotel room door to let her goons in Nas – Get Down

This story is based on a beautiful latino girl I met (but the story itself is made up)

My mans rlly just tried to explain nas' own lyrics to him . FOH son.

How in the hell are you gonna tell Nasir Jones what his own damn lyrics mean?

How the hell do you tell the person who wrote the song what THEIR lyrics mean? The fuck? Lol

AnnaMenace is quite possibly the best troll in this site. Hats off to you, when I first heard rappers were getting on this site to explain their own lyrics — the first thing I thought of was the concept of going back and forth with dude, telling HIM what HIS lines REALLY meant. I think about it and start cracking up.

Since I kinda got a knack for pulling shit like that, I would it took it further though…

Still, good shit with that troll.

Nas is deep. I expounded on what Nas said. How is that bad? I am so puzzled by the offense you all have taken. I helped every one see the deeper level of meaning in what Nas said.

I rolled with some Crips down to a Crenshaw funeral
Never saw so many men slaughtered and I knew the ho responsible
The nigga still alive in a hospital
Midnight they crept in his room and shot the doctor too Nas – Get Down

In 2001 I met a guy in LA who happened to be a Crip (he was a cousin of mine — family, not gang)

Later I learned that he was going a bit wild — that was the last I heard, and this story is based on him

Some of my friends in Tennessee were living so crazy, throwing a lot of parties, etc. I heard they ended up doing some federal time

[Verse 2: Nas] Nas – Get Down

The opening and first verse of this song are very focused on NY life, so I wanted to open it up and take it to LA in this verse

Triple-homicide, I sit in the back aisle
I wanna crack a smile when I see him
Throw up a fist for Black Power, cause all we want is his freedom
He grabbed a court officer's gun and started squeezin' Nas – Get Down

The story is based on the trial of two people I knew who got locked up — Free High and Worm. Worm is the one who threw up the fist, and Free High grabbed the court officer’s gun.

This made it in the song because I saw him and his mom on the news while I was in the studio recording this song. I recognized his mom from elementary school because I went to school with his sister and she used to be around
