Nas - QueensBridge Politics Lyrics






Talkin' to this cutie on FaceTime
Tryna figure out if she gon' give me that face time
I don't wanna tour, I wanna chill with my son more
Teach him about Egypt and tranquility
Critically analyze Black Lives and respectability
While Prodigy' mural get vandalized, why Prodigy?
The project politics obviously, demagogue democracy
In the fog I see the Mobb representer enter the light
Back to the source where all energy comes
Your enemy Dunn was eternal, a disease that needs a vaccination
Plagues black seeds, and the industry ain't as friendly as it first seems
When you dream of driving your whip to your house on Florida Keys
On behalf of me and Queens and all of the G's, Bandana P will always stand as tall as the trees

First things first, this should be understood, QueensBridge just ain't any other hood
His music legacy is incredibly high pedigree
I don't mean this disrespectfully, alphabetically, if it's hard to swallow
In the credits of BeatStreet singin' is Bernard Fowler
He sang with the Rolling Stones, background for Bootsy Collins
Marley Marl, advanced rap sounds, perfect timing
The early eighties, we babies, Pebblee Poo dropped
The beat was crazy and Marley was changing Hip-Hop
Then Marley and Shante caught a body, UTFO
She cold, 'Roxanne's Revenge,' she was fourteen years old
Then came the Juice Crew and the who's whos
G-Rap, Rakim and Kane, beats made in the Q-U
I was probably playin' with .32's in the lobby
It's QueensBridge over everything and everybody

I wish the book never came out and everything got straightened out
Before you left, I saw you, it was all love except
We needed to build more and get things correct
Now I gotta accept it, 'cause there's honor in death
Wish you was here with us P

Shout to Havoc, shout to 'Pone, shout to Jungle, shout to Jeff, shout out to big Lord
The big dog, Lord! Free Bar (Bar) Spunk (Spunk) It's a lot going on
Free the kings
A lot going on, man, it's heavy
GoodFellas, man, Prodigy, man, it's heavy, man
We need to lighten it up, to all y'all
My bros

    See, Nas needs to keep this consistency in ALL of his songs on these albums. This has always been his problem. Beat selection and weird song choices. Just keep Premier and Pete Rock on ALL production like this and your problem is solved Nasir. Trust me, your fans want you to continue making music like this song.

  38. j.... s....

    This song hits me 😢

  39. A.... F....

    Can they add a “Love” button for this track?

  40. D.... L....

    1st from Africa

  41. G.... 7....

    it ain't hard to tell Nas' raps should be locked in a cell

  42. A.... D....

    I heard a ghost. This gave me the chills, I can't remember the last time I heard a beat like this.

  43. S.... O....

    The cadence on this sounds like the hunger of how Nas use to rap from 94 to 96.

  44. D.... R....

    Great Nas song!

  45. D.... K....

    OMG I saw this coming I always felt growing up in the 90s would shape who I am in the future & one day hiphop will save the world... What Im trying to say is that Hiphop defeated racism in the 90s now its back so that must mean real hiphop is coming back too to end save the world ALONG WITH JESUS !!!!!!!

  46. T.... A....

    Whoooooo! I remember hip-hop.... Stutter-Step style still alive! What a collab. Woke up to this 2:30. Pete Rock goodie!

  47. h.... k....

    No one can touch nas's level.

  48. M.... K....

    Rip Prodigy 🕯
    1of the illest #1

  49. M.... F....

    Said needs a vaccination for sickle cell wasnt it a weapon made to destroy black people through vaccination... come on nas still blinded...

  50. T.... B....

    I believe that Nas was crying when he made this song. I can hear brief pauses during his verse. You can tell that this song was cut alittle short, because of the pain of losing a loved one. R i p Prodigy, one of the greatest emcees.

  51. L.... G....

    R.ip prodigy keep it thoro

  52. J.... C....

    Soooooi nobody noticed what Nas did here!!! ?? I’m not gone say nothing!

  53. C.... T....

    Being that I read Prodigy's book I know exactly what Nas is referring too here. Credit to Nas for acknowledging his own flaws here....Would be great to see Nas create a tribute to AZ and Mega too

  54. C.... G....

    It’s very simple. Pete Rock and Nas Escobar = Hip Hop

  55. J.... B....

    The illest ever

  56. G.... L....

    Masterpiece.

  57. A.... -....

    Still my favorite MC but I dont like this album seem like it service corporate black Americans. This album for dudes who made it out the hood with a vision to reach back to his ppl which is dope but unfortunately it’s not hip hop it contemporary urban music. Nas would literally have to move back to queensbridge n write that album right in that staircase to make another album. No matter how old hip hop is it began in the streets n will end there. Nas outta tune with the inner city Still remain greatest of all time a weak album can never break Nas

  58. M.... J....

    What is wueensbrudge can anyone explain?

  59. H.... N....

    90s Jam in 2019

  60. N.... ....

    I hope Nas guides Santana Foxx *Prodigy's daughter* she's got potential

  61. b.... 2....

    smooth , once again nas makes a another classic, rih vip

  62. r.... n....

    On behalf of me and Queens and all of the Gs
    Bandana P will always stand as tall as the trees .... Nasty nas

  63. T.... M....

    I love you Nas

  64. M.... Z....

    nas went hard af on this beat

  65. J.... ....

    Unfortunately, people sleep on Nas, they slept on Life Is Good. They gonna sleep on this too...."It's heavy man". Rest in peace Prodigy.

  66. T.... S....
