Hey Nas

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Nas] The phone rings Another peaceful moment is lost Latifah's chest jingle in Set It Off I press pause, in the bed, as a king I let it ring 4 or 5 times, answer while I'm puffin' my green It's Tamika, saying "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's 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 Cazelles don't lean on my nose Drivin' by the clubs, gleamin' and go Heads turn, it's a freak show I need them to know, when will they learn? Nas need a queen, not a ho to – [Pre-Chorus: Nas] 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' ya energy [Chorus: Claudette Ortiz] Hey, Nas – how ya doin'? Take my name, and my number Meanwhile, we'll be groovin' But let's take–it–slow [Verse 2: Nas] One, for the honeys 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, they game is hot, I give it to you Double life wife, 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 [Pre-Chorus: Nas] '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 could be the one, 'cause I'm lovin' ya energy [Chorus: Kelis] Hey, Nas – how ya doin'? Take my name, and my number Meanwhile, we'll be groovin' But let's take–it–slow [Verse 3: Nas] Slow is the way, holdin' hands, tonguin' hickeys Hope and I pray, when I run, that you run away with me That's if my gun 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 exist, 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-out's 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 "Diamond's and Pearls" But to be my queen, you must... [Pre-Chorus: Nas] 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' ya energy [Chorus: Claudette Ortiz & Kelis] Hey, Nas – how ya doin'? Take my name, and my number Meanwhile, we'll be groovin' But let's take–it–slow [Outro: Claudette Ortiz] 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
