Big Things Lyrics by Nas

I Am...

1999

[Verse 1]
Get yours, nigga, 'cause I'ma get mine in due time
Everybody'll shine, get yours, I spray nines
I say this one time, the last time, I swear to y'all
I'm from where the dope fiends is at
And killers crawl and snitches call police
On these niggas, and street corners everybody's like
Smokin' marijuana and snuffin' niggas in faces and startin' drama
And shootin' niggas, cold blood, just kill 'em, so what?
With the fo' pound, go nuts
Better slow up before you get your ass sewn up
Nigga never gon' grow up
Drinkin' the Henny but he know he gon' throw up
Tryin' to make crack sales, what it look like, future for a black male?
Don't want to make my momma cry, on a front page for a homicide
Fly whips, all I wanted to drive, where chicks get blunted and ride
Do 105 in the fast lane and a fast pace
Chasin' the papes, spendin' chips on big chains
And the dimes that give brains, that was a 80's and 90's thing
Now I'm into big things

[Chorus]
Nah, I ain't fuckin' with you
Now I'm into big things
Gotta get my life together, man
'Cause now I'm into big things
Nah, I ain't gon' ride with you
'Cause now I'm into big things
Nah, I can't do that shit no more
Now I'm into big things
Nah, I can't fuck with you
I'm into big things
Nah, I ain't gon' stand on no corners
I'm into big things
Tired of talkin' small talk
I'm into big things
I'm into big things
The big things
The big things

[Verse 2]
When I started this, all I wanted was cars and cribs
Like other rap artists is but do I know where I'm goin' to?
Can I forget where I come from?
I be showin' you another style I'ma flow for you
Can I make somethin' wild I can throw for you, flow for you
Make it bi-coastal, take it to heights that some of y'all can't come close to?
Some of y'all want to talk like hoes, worse than bitches
And when y'all niggas see me blow, bet it hurt like stitches
No competition, I stop and twist 'em
Hit 'em like a mafia proposition
I rap, y'all stop and listen
Thinkin' back to when I had no pot to piss in
Look up at a nigga now, rocks that glisten
Can't stop my mission, make another LP drop
I'm hittin' with the new shit, exclusive
No time to get caught up in a crime I ain't have shit to do with
Used to chase the hoes, now I chase the dough
Is y'all bitches gonna help me get paper?
No!

[Chorus]
Nah, I ain't fuckin' with you
Now I'm into big things (ill)
Gotta get my life together, man (uh huh)
'Cause now I'm into big things (big things)
Nah, I ain't gon' ride with you (nah not no more)
'Cause now I'm into big things (fuck y'all)
You know I can't do that shit no more (why?)
Now I'm into big things
Nah, I can't fuck with you (why?)
I'm into big things
Nah, I ain't gon' stand on no corners (why's that?)
I'm into big things (uh)
Tired of talkin' small talk
I'm into big things
I'm into big things
The big things
The big things

[Verse 3]
I go past y'all (uh-huh), y'all got the glass jaw (uh-huh)
And when I hit it, admit it, y'all on your ass, y'all (uh-huh)
We on the same team, you don't wanna pass the ball
Chuck and gunnin' for dough
You want to score but you really don't know how to ball
I put you on, it was me that introduced you to wealth
Crossin' me is like shootin' yourself, wanna blow so fast, now do it yourself
You ain't shit now
You was so ill, why you never came out?
Where ya clique now?
Where you sit now? In the back seat
Mad 'cause I flip styles and I pack heat
Make you run laps like a pro athlete
And I done that
From my experiences, I appear relentless
Take more time just to hear my sentence
I'ma tell you what's real and what could stop you from makin' a mil'
You could prevent this
When niggas don't see eye to eye to you
Lie to you, wanna get high with you
Want to eat food off of your labor
And take food off your table
'Cause they don't see your vision, don't understand your mission
Is to make history while you here
How long you plan on livin'?
Not forever, at least to 140
Pray for me, I'm tryin' to eat
Like the niggas who bought Motown off Berry Gordy
Good God

[Chorus]
Nigga, I'm tired of games
I'm into big things
Gotta get my life together, man
'Cause now I'm into big things
Tired of talkin' small talk
'Cause now I'm into big things
I'm into big things
The big things
The big things
Man, we already did that
Now I'm into big things
No time to get sidetracked
Now I'm into big things
Get money now besides that
Some more big things
I'm into big things
The big things
The big things
