Essence Featuring Nas lyrics

[N] Aiyyo God, yo meet me at the Denice Williams concert tonight man
[N] E`rybody there, Stacy Lattisaw, Teena Marie, e`rybody man
[A] Yeah yeah no doubt
[N] I`ma bring one of my baddest stallions man
[A] {*laughing*}
[N] You do the same aight?
[A] You know how we play baby, listen
[A] I`m at a car wash right now
[A] but I`ma hit you as soon as I`m right over there
[A] Right in front right? (yeah) Okay, aight gotchu

[N] Son who laced you with the ill haircut?
[A] Lenny, he blessed me with the sharp blade, that nigga`s paid
[N] He make a pretty penny
[A] Fo`sho, you hurt `em with the new Prada`s (true)
[A] Check mines they royal blue
[N] My shits is baby blue
[A] They powder blue (yo` shits is hotter)
[A] You hotter with them frames on
[N] Nigga you James Bond, and you stay low
[A] Y`know my style babe bro (yeah, make dough)
[N] Manicure, facial, face glow
[A] Fuck it if you say so; I keep you P.I.!
[N] That`s how we break hoes
[N] We throwin ivory dice across the concrete
[A] And of course that don`t make him your man because y`all palm weed
[N] We had boxed bumpin La-Di-Da-Di (word?)
[N] Shotties was blastin, pellets jumpin into everybody
[A] They never got me
[A] Was cool with all the park shooters, sparkin bazookas
[A] Sharpen your tutors, cause we don`t pardon the snoozers
[N] Yo son I wouldn`t change my life for nuttin
[A] And that ain`t like you for frontin
[N] Who`s the nicest? (Nuff talkin, light somethin)

[Chorus: Nas + AZ]
Yo we hard hit, just like Comacho and Vargas
Who`s the target? Now watch how we close the market
We both hard hit, just like Hagler and Hearns
Add the math, be concerned, if it`s beef you burn
Yo it`s sorta like, Poitier and Bill Cosby
`Let`s Do It Again,` a beautiful blend, let`s do it to win
My nigga - my nigga - my niggaz - my niggaz
My niggaz - my niggaz - uhh..

[N] What`s today`s mathematics?
[A] We had it, we let `em hold it, we shoulda sold it
[N] We back it, we could grabbed it
[N] But fuck it, just let `em have it
[A] Al `Humdulillah
[N] Allahu Akbar
[A] God is the greatest
[N] Planet Mars, we carvin the faces
[A] You couldn`t catch us in a car without the bangers
[A] Believe, I touched a couple of movie stars and entertainers
[N] Indeed, one in particular, almost started to name her (ha ha)
[N] I was there when you first pushed up and started to game her
[A] Been a long journey, certain shit just don`t concern me
[N] They ain`t hurtin shit; we flip, they hire attorneys
[A] Yo I`ma stay custom, `til I`m old grey and rustin
[A] Reminiscin the number of chickens that claim we fucked `em
[N] Bet some badda hoes than them other funky rappers chose
[N] I`m tryin to wife a chick, light a spliff (okay)
[N] This might be like another part to "Life`s a Bitch"
[A] Write ya lips, who`s nice as this? We righteousness
[A] No mic assists, it`s murderous - granted the right to flip

[Chorus] - repeat 2X

[Nas]
Like, Spinks and Hearns..
Sorta.. Poitier and Bill Cosby
`Let`s Do it Again,` nigga..
