[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, sayig "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 –
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
'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...
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
