The phone rings, another peaceful moment is lost
Latifah's chest jingle in Set It Off
I press pause, in the bed is a king, I let it ring
Four or five times, answer while I'm puffin' my green
It's Tamika sayin', "Hi Nas!" I caught a flashback
Of her askin' me was I asthmatic 'fore I tapped that
She offered me dinner, under the moon
I said "Sorry, I made plans at Ray's Boom-Boom Room"
Nine push-ups, strength gone at the tenth one
So why hook up? The pimp's gone off the Patron Tequila
Put on my Lee's and the original Filas
Sedated from L's,.380 cocked, naked ladies laid up in tels
Like Whodini I chose, gazelles to lean on my nose
Drivin' by the clubs gleamin' in gold
Heads turn, it's a freak show, I need them to know
When will they learn? Nas need a queen outta hoes to
Point out my enemies, a girl who's into me
But not a hype chick, someone with proper energy
Someone who's into me but won't fuck with my enemies
And you can sing along 'cause I'm feelin' your energy
Hey Nas, how ya doin'?
Take my name, and my number
Meanwhile, we'll be groovin'
But let's take it slow (slow. slow. slow.)
One for the honies who roll blunts up but don't smoke
Two for the few who see potential in you when you broke
Three for the G they got, the game is hot, I give it to you
Double life wife, you play with the man that's livin' with you
Here's the issue, a woman gotta be stunnin'
Get to a man's heart through his stomach
You gotta be skilled in the culinary arts
Know a brother stay mad hungry when he spark
Hit the museum, maybe Central Park, you mentally smart
Picture we in Tiffany, you becomin' my counterpart
If I want Chinese, then you buy me a wok
If you want barbecue, I call Professor and Ak
'Cause you point out my enemies, someone who's into me
But not a hyper chick, someone with the proper energy
A girl that's into me who won't fuck all my enemies
And you can be the one 'cause I'm lovin' your energy
Hey Nas, how ya doin'?
Take my name, and my number
Meanwhile, we'll be cruisin'
But let's take it slow (slow. slow. slow.)
Slow is the way, holdin' hands, tongue and hickies
Hopin' I pray when I run that you run away with me
That's if my shit get busy, we gotta get outta there
Hear sirens, jump in the stick, drop a sedan and hide for years
Like no one else in the world exists except for us two
You gotta trust me, I gotta trust you
If coppers bust me, it's me you rescue, this to the death, boo
You rep me respectfully, that's how I rep for you
Retired from pimpin', perspire is drenchin'
As we suck and fuck each other's minds out commission
Time's out forbidden, until we pass out, that's when we stop
We give it all we got, give it all we got, we hot
Give it all we got, give it all we got, we rock
Give it all we got, give it all we got
You 'bout the baddest thing, since Michael had Billie Jean
And Prince gave you diamonds and pearls but, to be my queen
You must point out my enemies, a girl who's into me
But not a hype chick, someone with proper energy
Someone who's into me who won't fuck all my enemies
And you can be the one 'cause I'm feelin' your energy
Hey Nas, how ya doin'?
Take my name, and my number
Meanwhile, we'll be cruisin'
But let's take it slow (slow. slow. slow.)
I can be what you said that you need
I can be all that
I can be, I can have your back, baby
I can be what you said that you need
I can be all that
I can be, I can have your back, baby
