Nas - Thugz Mirror lyrics

[Verse 1]

Yo, my man was regulatin on niggas he used to thug with

Older niggas in this murder game, drug czars

BM, Jaguars, they cash was large

Since he was wild, they let him in

He did a crazy number of things

To put himself deeper under they wing

It didn't take long for duke to get on

Studied they movements - who would kill, who was strong

Studied like a student, got it bloody, he was shootin

Drivin they cars, robbin connects

Drivin his Lex, keys was movin

Young don, now they know they weakness

They never seen it comin

Son was on some real take over the streets hit

Now he got his own crew of young guns clickin now

Richer now, now they run shit, see how it flips around?

[Verse 2]

Dudes be, comin from bids thinkin shit is different

Cause the streets move fast, you blink, you could miss it

I just sit back and, think of my last 20 years

6 pack, gunnin my years, jet black, blunt in my ear

Real relaxed, readin real loves stories like

Ceaser and Cleopatra, we need another actress to play her

Cause Liz Taylor's hot, but the Egyptian queen

On the movie screen needs to be portrayed in a proper flava

Hopped in the shower, threw on the boxers with the baby oil

Baby powder, night owl, movin to later hours, only

Fuckin with kings, niggas official

If you phony, come in the circle, niggas'll diss you

We converse on the state of hip hop

We share the same views and feelings

He sling cain, crib costin 2 million

He plan to leave the streets forever

But niggas that wanted him left him

Dead in the streets 'fore I can tell him
