Nas — Cherry Wine

[Produced by Salaam Remi] [Chorus: Amy Winehouse] Where is he, the man who was just like me? I heard he was hidin' somewhere I can't see Where is he, the man who was just like me? Heard he was hidin' somewhere I can't see And I'm alone, and I realize that when I get home I wanna go through my red and my cherry Yes, I'm alone, and I realize when I get home I wanna go through my red and my cherry [Verse 1: Nas] I want someone who like the champagne I like, my a-alike Someone to talk me off the bridge any day or night She teach me how to live, she ain’t afraid of life Not easily impressed with the rich and famous life 'Cause she done been there and heard all the rumors before She loves art, she ride out with me on my music tour She like the herb's natural medicine, she cookin' good She tell me everything is cool when it ain't lookin' good For real, the world so ill, yo, I want a girl so real Who not after material wealth but get dough still Or maybe an educator, a lady with etiquette Who can be from out the hood or even work for the president As long as there’s no selfishness Yes, as long as her love for the people is deep-rooted and evident You can be easily recruited, you’re heaven-sent Your smile put me at ease You’re the woman I need, but where is she? [Chorus: Amy Winehouse] Where is he, the man who was just like me? I heard he was hidin' somewhere I can't see Where is he, the man who was just like me? Heard he was hidin' somewhere I can't see And I'm alone, and I realize that when I get home I wanna go through my red and my cherry Yes, I'm alone, and I realize when I get home I wanna go through my red and my cherry [Verse 2: Nas] I hate when people write me hostile texts On account of my lifestyle's perception Invade my personal life? Out of the question What are they expectin'? I be tryin' to reply and they never suppose I get my quiet time in? They think forever I’m rollin' in dough, swimmin' in a pool of cash God, wouldn’t they know or am I a fool to ask? I’m well known, got people comin' at me mad I had to tell homes, I don’t keep a cell phone, my bad I drag off the L and try to silence it The noise in my head, the curse of the talented Strong communicator, vagabond I'd gallivant around the Equator, if that would get me off the radar It's so intense, I'm on my Lilo & Stitch Pour my Pinot Grigio and Cris' with some lime, what is this? An immaculate version of "Me & My Bitch" by Biggie With all respect, 'cause you the only one that gets me [Chorus: Amy Winehouse] Where is he, the man who was just like me? I heard he was hidin' somewhere I can't see Where is he, the man who was just like me? Heard he was hidin' somewhere I can't see And I'm alone, and I realize that when I get home I wanna go through my red and my cherry Yes, I'm alone, and I realize when I get home I wanna go through my red and my cherry [Bridge: Nas] Yeah, yeah, let’s pour some cherry wine Everything’s good, everything’s fine Yeah, yeah, we bring it every time Yeah, pour a little cherry wine Yeah, hey yo, Salaam Yeah, I think they know the time Everything’s good, everything’s fine Yeah, pour a little cherry wine, yeah Life is good, life is good, yeah Life is good, no matter what, life is good Life is good, life is good, yeah No matter what, life is good [Chorus: Amy Winehouse] Where is he, the man who was just like me? I heard he was hidin' somewhere I can't see Where is he, the man who was just like me? Heard he was hidin' somewhere I can't see And I'm alone, and I realize that when I get home I wanna go through my red and my cherry Yes, I'm alone, and I realize when I get home I wanna go through my red and my cherry
