Song by Braveheart f/ Nature<br /><br>

[Intro]<br>

<br>

[Nas (speaking in Dr. Trevis-like voice)]<br>

Braveheart niggas (Jungle), IllWill niggas (Wizard)<br>

Made of steel niggas (Horse), robothugs (Nature)<br>

We can't be stopped by them bitch-ass cops (Braveheart)<br>

Made of steel, y'all bullets don't kill<br>

We break outta jail, fuck the system<br>

To all our black babies, boys and girls<br>

We school y'all wit knowledge of the world<br>

Only to God we hail, and this money we spend it<br>

We spend it, it's the root of e-vil<br>

But these black millionaires will live and survive<br>

We will stay alive<br>

<br>

[Nature]<br>

A quick reality check, salaries and sex<br>

Rodents spreadin disease, and man'll carry it next<br>

I been exposed to this game, so it's that I express<br>

Blood, sweat and tears, for my stress, cigarettes and beers<br>

Newports or Kools, cautious dudes movin in the Belly<br>

I stay aware of who I'm talkin to<br>

Police payin fiends off wit food<br>

For a Snicker bar, they knock on your door, come and get you god<br>

Hit you harder than a crack pipe, live the gat life<br>

Gettin drunk, full gallons down to half-pints<br>

X-O to act right, stay slurring my speech<br>

Hearin silent screams at night, disturbing my sleep<br>

Burnin my weed, the smallest thug caught a bug<br>

War stories on the bench till y'all caught a buzz<br>

I made y'all watch when the game's hot, the same park<br>

Niggas hustle and die without they Braveheart<br>

<br>

[Chorus - Nas]<br>

I wanna live, the way my brother lives<br>

I shall not die (never), why must we be so high?<br>

I pray to God, (please God) take me to your path<br>

And show me how, to live with all this cash<br>

<br>

[Wizard]<br>

A black robe for my queen, guns and crack for my team<br>

Wit a map of fifty states that's flooded wit fiends<br>

It says "Welcome to my town" but if you black you hang<br>

We don't tolerate no shit from pimps or gangs<br>

Fuck that, that's the rule for them fake ass cats<br>

Paradise is the place that you vacate at<br>

Very few get to make it back, or get knocked tryin<br>

Holdin they earning from the block, there's no returnin<br>

Trapped in the belly of the beast week to week<br>

He shackled from his head to his feet, life is deep<br>

New York City too small for everbody to eat<br>

Some explore the world and don't give a fuck about the penalty<br>

Who's the enemy, him or me?<br>

The war on drugs will never stop, you understand that<br>

You hear me, Guiliani? (Bravehearts, nigga Bravehearts nigga what)<br>

<br>

[Chorus]<br>

<br>

[Jungle]<br>

Yo it's bugged, how everybody that rhyme is thug<br>

Either they sold drugs or rolled wit Bloods<br>

Smoke weed or blow slugs<br>

Yeah that's gangsta, but when I see ya you show love<br>

Where them guns at?<br>

All y'all niggas some really fun cats<br>

Mothafucker, give me them shines, run that<br>

Word is bond, y'all niggas fronted like y'all knew me<br>

They rep the hood but they ain't from QB<br>

<br>

[Horse]<br>

Never stop this, overriding the cops, we got this<br>

Bravehearts spot em and drop hits<br>

Ever so harder than a mothafucker, you see it nigga<br>

Diamonds glitter, what you want to split ya<br>

Three-pound-sevens'll hit ya, focus on the picture<br>

Sparks, gun fire sent, where he went<br>

Did I miss? Perhaps, he collapsed on his back<br>

Ten to the head, either that or pins in his legs<br>

Niggas go under, the streets open up and suck you in<br>

Bad luck is when you throw dice and nuttin wins<br>

And everything you put your hands on be crumblin<br>

And when everything you plan on come to an end<br>

Some light candles, wit Jesus picture on the glass<br>

Hangin crosses on they walls or either practice witchcraft<br>

To bring em good luck, put they faith on a horse race<br>

Some niggas cook up, coke or cut up raw weight or dough<br>

We all share the same thoughts, not to be broke<br>

Some pray for fortune, but this life ain't no joke<br>

(It's no joke, it's no joke)<br>

<br>

[Chorus]<br>

<br>

[Outro]<br>

<br>

[Nas (Dr. Trevis-like voice)]<br>

Bravehearts, IllWill (all this cash)<br>

Belly (Bravehearts in the Belly)<br>

Horse (Belly) , Jungle, Wiz (survivin in the Belly), Nature<br>

We will survive (survivin in the Belly)<br>

And teach (we will survive), and reach (IllWill to survive)<br>

From heart to heart, my body and soul (Braveheart niggas)<br>

Braveheart till the death<br>

<br>
