Nas — Esco Lets Go

[Intro] Esco let's go Esco let's go, c'mon Esco let's go, let's go, let's go Esco let's go, yeah, c'mon [Verse 1] I used to drive in a circle before I pulled up Now I just go up, they know when I got it tucked Tip the door man, racist neighbors flinching They don't know if I'ma rob 'em or if I'm Russell Simmons They thought it was me, just like Mike Bivins They pray for my downfall like the mom of Robin Givens Watching how you living I just wanted to roll B-L-U-N-T, and watch B-E-T Picture Amerie eating Roxy I'm trying to write hood movies, like Posse and Five Heartbeats I'm all inside a dark room My incense smoke took the form of ghost and it spoke It said, "Nas, you the best on both coasts, you so big You should write the word slave On both sides of ya beards like Prince did So what's this? Fuck St. Nicholas You the only ghetto nigga in the hood giving gifts" [Chorus] WHAT IT IS! Esco let's go (bra tat ta tat tat tata tat bra tat) Esco let's go, c'mon WHAT IT IS! WHAT IT IS! Esco let's go (bra tat ta tat tat tata tat bra tat) Esco let's go, c'mon WHAT IT IS! WHAT IT IS! Esco let's go, let's go, let's go (bra tat ta tat tat tata tat bra tat) Esco let's go, let's go, let's go WHAT IT IS! WHAT IT IS, NIGGA! Esco let's go, yeah WHAT IT IS, NIGGA! WHAT IT IS! [Verse 2] I jump in the shower, it feel like rain Everybody wanna be king but can't handle the pain Used to rap now they all wanna sing Ask Elizabeth Taylor, when did ice turn to bling She said, "Nas, it 'cause y'all rock tiny diamonds in the biggest chains You the first nigga in the game that said fuck fame You the 5th nigga in The Beatles You the 10th nigga in the Wu-Tang, so nigga let yo' nuts hang" But they can't handle it, I'm scandalous, I'm trifling That's why I'm wifing 'em, quick to stick a knife in 'em Catch me thinking, drinking, hurting my health These women keep trying to unloosen my belt Trying to get my wealth I feel like Jesus with doubting Thomas', broken promises I wanna walk the golden streets like where my mama is But if I do what y'all want, I'll get a thousand years [Chorus] WHAT IT IS! Esco let's go (bra tat ta tat tat tata tat bra tat) Esco let's go, c'mon WHAT IT IS! WHAT IT IS! Esco let's go (bra tat ta tat tat tata tat bra tat) Esco let's go, c'mon WHAT IT IS! WHAT IT IS! Esco let's go, let's go, let's go (bra tat ta tat tat tata tat bra tat) Esco let's go, let's go, let's go WHAT IT IS! WHAT IT IS, NIGGA! Esco let's go, yeah WHAT IT IS, NIGGA! WHAT IT IS! [Verse 3] Staring at the face of my watch It's like a crystal ball with the ability to make the issue stall I told my man duck 'cause I know where the missile fall 'Cause the ice is a fortune teller for the rich and small Went to my man crib who dead and saw his picture fall I picked it up his voice whispered, "nigga ball" So I smoke the finest, 85 footer ocean liners I do it for the have nots of mad spots That resemble screensavers on your laptops And niggas can't believe it like seeing that nigga Zab drop I'll be in Cameroon, bandanas on silk Dior Sip cream liqueur, green and blue Fila velour suits Boss move, only thing that I endorse duke Stash houses, gamble, I don't sweat a loss duke All true and living, God, we was here first Parisian linen garb and Kashmir shirts [Chorus] WHAT IT IS! Esco let's go (bra tat ta tat tat tata tat bra tat) Esco let's go, c'mon WHAT IT IS! WHAT IT IS! Esco let's go (bra tat ta tat tat tata tat bra tat) Esco let's go, c'mon WHAT IT IS! WHAT IT IS! Esco let's go, let's go, let's go (bra tat ta tat tat tata tat bra tat) Esco let's go, let's go, let's go WHAT IT IS! WHAT IT IS, NIGGA! Esco let's go, yeah WHAT IT IS, NIGGA! WHAT IT IS!
