[Verse 1: Nas]
~#**************#~
The ghetto Othello, the Moor
~#**************#~
Oh my God, they speak venomous on the boy
~#**************#~
Oh my Lord, my enemy is fear and Im sure
~#**************#~
Oh my God, they want the end of me cause Im pure
~#**************#~
Oh my Lord, discipline for the win, I just go for it
~#**************#~
Its a trend for these men to die on their own sword
~#**************#~
Journey far, learn who you can be
~#**************#~
But you can learn who you are when you around family
~#**************#~
Chip off the shoulders of soldiers, on their grizzle
~#**************#~
My granddaddy Mack Little married Nannie Little
~#**************#~
They passed down wisdom, blessings were given
~#**************#~
Pray my sins dont get passed to my children, I made a killin
~#**************#~
Im alive like the morning star
~#**************#~
Court Jordans for the price on stock, so what the Hornets are?
~#**************#~
I need evaluations, Im savvy, yall
~#**************#~
Eatin foie gras and caviar, listen
~#**************#~
[Chorus: The-Dream]
~#**************#~
Adam and Eve dont fall too far from the apple tree
~#**************#~
Ayy
~#**************#~
Adam and Eve, Adam and Eve
~#**************#~
Dont fall too far from the apple tree, apple tree
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: Nas]
~#**************#~
The ghosts of gangsters dance
~#**************#~
Chinchillas shake on the hanger, the force of this banger
~#**************#~
Yeah, my language advanced, my cadence amazin
~#**************#~
The voice triggers somethin, what is this conundrum?
~#**************#~
The clouds scurry, your spirit rumble, a boyish smile
~#**************#~
Still puff the loud, its nothing less than a quarter pound
~#**************#~
Savage narrative, every verse that I write
~#**************#~
Bursts light, brings awareness to my personal life
~#**************#~
After my morning walk, Havana cigar, the ganja spark
~#**************#~
See my doctor more, sweat in the sauna or
~#**************#~
The spa, spendin fifty large at the Bellagio
~#**************#~
Spent twenty on a bad bitch I hardly know
~#**************#~
New girl every night, two girls was every other night
~#**************#~
Sexual addiction, gangster tradition
~#**************#~
They wanna fuck me, have me under their belt, slightly offended
~#**************#~
Yeah, thats how I felt, thats how it ended
~#**************#~
Im just good at existing, existin in my truth
~#**************#~
As long as I enjoy the fruit, yeah
~#**************#~
[Chorus: The-Dream]
~#**************#~
Adam and Eve dont fall too far from the apple tree
~#**************#~
Ayy
~#**************#~
Adam and Eve, Adam and Eve
~#**************#~
Dont fall too far from the apple tree, apple tree
~#**************#~
[Verse 3: Nas]
~#**************#~
What come first, peace or the paper?
~#**************#~
Before I had a piece of paper, peace was in my favor
~#**************#~
Before I sat to eat at the table, it had leeches and traitors
~#**************#~
Cut the fat from the meat, extract the weak, bon appetit, no bacon
~#**************#~
Brothers is swine
~#**************#~
Its so hard to trust em cause my hustle is mine
~#**************#~
Its evident they all the same, with gray hair and still mean muggin
~#**************#~
Gray hairs of wisdom, that means you seen somethin, say something
~#**************#~
You stay frontin but these clowns got false crowns, fictitional kings
~#**************#~
You broke my heart, Fredo
~#**************#~
You bring this thing of ours down to a fable
~#**************#~
Be advised my guys dyin, enterprisin at a bosss table
~#**************#~
Theres always room at my table
~#**************#~
Insecurities is keepin you disabled
~#**************#~
All this money to get, is there less time?
~#**************#~
They aint stopped printin money, cause they made mine
~#**************#~
I learned to stretch time, these are the best times
~#**************#~
Im in my neighborhood in stadiums, the Mets kind
~#**************#~
With restaurants and Carbone, spicy rigatoni go hard
~#**************#~
A red Bordeaux, oh God
~#**************#~
[Chorus: The-Dream]
~#**************#~
Adam and Eve dont fall too far from the apple tree
~#**************#~
Ayy
~#**************#~
Adam and Eve, Adam and Eve
~#**************#~
Dont fall too far from the apple tree, apple tree
