~#**************#~
We aint gon never die
~#**************#~
We aint gon never die, Ima—, um
~#**************#~

~#**************#~
[Verse 1: Nas]
~#**************#~
We aint gon never die, icons in real time
~#**************#~
Why did I wait this long to let yall in my ill mind?
~#**************#~
I think the hate was strong, so I went to a chill vibe
~#**************#~
Could never say goodbye, I let my skill cry
~#**************#~
Let my soul bleed, inside a Rolls, wearing rosaries
~#**************#~
Homie, I lovе the new NY cause Im thе new NY
~#**************#~
And the old NY at the same time (Same time)
~#**************#~
I always hit the last shot when its game time (Game time)
~#**************#~
The Jordan, Kobe, ‘Bron talk, take a long walk
~#**************#~
You might start to understand what Im puttin on for (On for)
~#**************#~
I left more flows in Pro Tools sessions
~#**************#~
Than you ever thought of with old school methods
~#**************#~
But what youre hearin is the present day
~#**************#~
Over breaks and samples of New York, NWA
~#**************#~
The brand new Brand Nubians, N-A-S and Wayne
~#**************#~
Dont threaten me with a good time, we here to stay
~#**************#~
Nasty, they dont make em like me
~#**************#~
Mask up, all black like Im Pooh Shiesty, truth too
~#**************#~
Im like Detroit Red in a zoot suit, loose screws
~#**************#~
Any great challenges, I find a loop through
~#**************#~
Loopholes, why they treat me so bad, Club Nouveau, damn
~#**************#~
The times we livin in is crucial
~#**************#~
This my Tom Cruise flow, top gun, they too slow
~#**************#~
Computers aint fast enough to keep up with Nasty cause
~#**************#~
[Bridge: Nas]
~#**************#~
We aint gon never die
~#**************#~
Ha-ha-ha
~#**************#~
Ah
~#**************#~
We aint gon never die, we aint gon—
~#**************#~
We aint gon never die
~#**************#~
We aint gon never die, icons in real time
~#**************#~
Icons in real time, we aint gon never die
~#**************#~
[Verse 2: Lil Wayne]
~#**************#~
Uh, icons, steppin on pythons
~#**************#~
Spittin that cayenne, eat ya like Zion, peakin at the skyline
~#**************#~
Reachin for the stars like Im reachin for the pylon
~#**************#~
I seent ya on the sideline, we need to walk a fine line
~#**************#~
We need to read the guidelines, instead of readin the timelines
~#**************#~
Where everybody like lyin, nobody flow like mine
~#**************#~
Im sonnin these niggas, got me coachin niggas like Prime
~#**************#~
Tongue, I never bite mine, got dough like Taekwon
~#**************#~
To spend all this money, Ima have to spend a lifetime
~#**************#~
You broke, cant even buy time, should throw niggas a lifeline
~#**************#~
You know money on my mind, and I be on your wife mind
~#**************#~
I hit her with the pipe bomb, then pass her down the pipeline
~#**************#~
But actually, we quite fine
~#**************#~
Diamonds on me sparklin and splashin like some white wine
~#**************#~
They love me in the night time, they hate me when the light shine
~#**************#~
Shots, I got a hundred, and problems, I got ninety-nine
~#**************#~
Bugatti Veyron, take off with no flight time
~#**************#~
Bad bitch on the passenger side, she dont even like flyin
~#**************#~
Booty soft as nylon, you niggas small as micron
~#**************#~
I got a Black nina that get nasty as a white blonde
~#**************#~
Low credit, high crime, open mind, tight rhymes
~#**************#~
When they hear my lines, these rappers gotta catch up like Heinz
~#**************#~
Weezy and my slime Nas, aint nobody like ours
~#**************#~
Like bygones, gotta let icons be icons, hi moms (Hi moms)
