Raekwon - Ason Jones Lyrics
[Intro: Raekwon]
Word, I miss you, I miss the God
Word... a powerful brother, man, he was live
[Raekwon:]
I think it was the year '89
He stayed the freshest, Polo boots, wallies with them colorful low gooses
Coming from Medina, we boost
We up in A&S, slipping and dipping to Bedstuy
Native, he used to beatbox, thousands'll listen
Yo, that's before, the Wu got on, him and Allah Just'
And RZA, came to the Island one morn'
A nigga could dance to slow music, outdrink any nigga
On the benches, while we hitting reefer, he sold loosies
Five foot seven, a legend was born, Russell 'Ason" Jones
A wise man with knowledge 120, kept a flag on his chest
A right hand, you quick, serving you Remy
Yo, let's toast to the fallen, lost forgotten
Aiyo, if niggas could hear me, then roll up some broccoli
Ason, the heart of a lion, a purified mind
The way he did it, with a mic and some wine
I would never forget the days we used to sit back
Days I be all up in the crib, listening, holding, align him and yo
I just miss this nigga
And now I understand the meaning of love, when I kissed the nigga
[Interlude: Ol' Dirty Bastard sample]
My name is Ol' Dirty Bastard, youknowhatimsayin?
I don't hide nothing back, I barely, I mean, I come from a family, man
Of poor welfare, youknowhatimsaying?
When I came out my mother's womb I was on welfare, youknowhatimsayin?
So so so it's like, you got to keep it real, nahwhatimean?
[Raekwon:]
He had a heart of gold, intelligent soul from day one
Loud as the ferry, best friend was momma Cherry
Sweet lady, BK baby, she taught Dirty
How to cook, clean, singing the songs, say the
Old school dances and O.E., Ballantine, the wine
We sip, while we sat with the O.G.'s
Knowledge of self, good health
The fortunes that came with the game, had my brother insane
It's like wealth ain't enough to live for
But if you got love in your heart, just believe in yourself
That was the black man rap, baby Jesus in the black Land'
Few jewelry pieces with his gold fangs, his fam
(Brooklyn Zu) you know my brother was I'll
The first dude to say, "Yo, keep it real"
Yeah, the lover, the father, the hustler, the rap professor
Now he with Allah, that's a blessing
[Interlude: Ol' Dirty Bastard sample]
See, it's like, ok, where I come from
In my neighborhood, my people know me
Youknowhatimsaying? See, if I try to come any different
They ain't gon' respect me no more
Youknowhatimsaying? Because they - you know people
Got their thing about themselves, you know
If you come from the neighborhood, youknowhatimsaying
You couldn't, you couldn't get out the neighborhood
But you could never take the neighborhood out of the people
Youknowhatimsaying, but if you try to like jump and crossover
To the other side, people understand that, and they don't like that
That's why they don't be buying people music
See, we keeps it real, and we always gon' keep it real
You can't knock what's real, youknowhatimsaying? We telling the truth, man

RIP DILLA & ODB

nice🔥
Perfect sample and perfect lyrics. I cried the first time I heard this cut. Smh. #RIPDirtDog
The Wu will never be the same without him. He’s the reason my whole family is down with the Wu. Without him... you can just tell that something is missing in the clan.
OBD R.I.P

Manneee This Is Lit💪🔥🔥🔥 Thank You For The Link 💜💜
This record is so dope and timeless
Heart of gold, intelligent soul from day one!
I want this instrumental played at my funeral. Jay Dilla can make any man cry.
Correct me if I'm wrong. This is the only song made about ODB.
Johnny Lucio Wu-Tang Clan affiliates have made songs about ODB. Maybe other official members of Wu-Tang Clan too not just Raekwon, could be wrong about that though.
But Wu-Tang affiliates have definetely made song(s) about ODB.
@꧁꧂ you can say that "maybe again. Thats why I was not really sure. Anyway. If they have. I guess it was not as good and emblematic as this.
@꧁꧂ could you forward some to me?
Rip ODB
Man I love this
Man smh rip ODB I don't usually get emotional but man Rae got me on this one. All I can think about is OSB was crying out for help and trying to tell everyone the "bush" Niggas was out to kill him
Today marks 14 years since ODB transitioned. I can still remember the breaking news on BET and them playing his videos all day with me being stunned.
This shit gives me the chills forreal, this was mad love they don't make them like this no more
incredible smh rip ODB AND J DILLA

I bought this cd when it dropped over that Jay-Z cd. I played this song no more than 10 times and had me reminiscing about family, friends, that touched my life, eyes swell up few tears flowed down my face. R.I.P. to all that lost that loved one(s) friends etc ASON UNIQUE you're missed in this rap game,
what was the point mentioning that you copped it over the Hov Cd? certain things dont need to be said.
I copped both!
If you dont appreciate Hov cool. Just keep it pushing, lol. sheesh
Supreme 12860 Bro: I swear I remember copping both of those on the same day!And sadly, I was more excited about “The Blueprint III” than “Only Built 4 Cuban Linx.” I didn’t even listen to the Cuban Linx album. I slept on Dilla. This track right here brings me to tears when I listen to it. I feel your pain Bro! 🤜🏽🤛🏽
