Poppa Was A Playa (Explicit Version) - Nas (奈斯)[00:00:00]
To My Ni**a who brought me in this world[00:00:04]
Taught us right Ni**a[00:00:09]
My old dad imported to the family structure[00:00:12]
Provide her God[00:00:14]
My moms a queen at university civaliza[00:00:15]
My pops maybe was late but always came home[00:00:18]
My moms would put us to bed and she would wait on[00:00:21]
Soon as he walk in the door she barking[00:00:24]
I turned out the Jonny Carson[00:00:26]
Jumped out the bed[00:00:28]
We grabbed both his legs[00:00:29]
Me and my brother[00:00:30]
Not knowing the pain he gave my mother[00:00:32]
Night after night fighting yelling at each other[00:00:34]
My papa played the street all day[00:00:37]
Mama was either home at work [00:00:38]
While we played inside the hall way[00:00:41]
She sacrifices all she got to feed us[00:00:43]
When she was alone she cried[00:00:45]
By the phone pepping out the window heeding[00:00:47]
But still I didn't see it[00:00:49]
Mama hid it from us[00:00:51]
We was kids younger[00:00:53]
Till we got bigger on to[00:00:54]
Bigger things that we[00:00:55]
Knew what the time was[00:00:57]
That daddy was leaving the[00:00:59]
Crib and moms love[00:01:00]
Papa was player player wasn't papa[00:01:02]
Papa loved the ladies[00:01:05]
Never got enough of[00:01:06]
Pretty brown round[00:01:08]
Running round town (Shhhhh)[00:01:09]
Don't tell your mother what's going down[00:01:12]
Papa was player player wasn't papa[00:01:14]
Papa loved the ladies[00:01:17]
Never got enough of[00:01:19]
Pretty brown round[00:01:20]
Running round town (Shhhhh)[00:01:22]
Don't tell your mother what's going down[00:01:24]
So many kids I knew [00:01:26]
Never knew what Pap was[00:01:27]
That's why I show my pop love[00:01:29]
He was still around when I f**ked up[00:01:30]
He could have left[00:01:32]
My moms pregnant shock to death but stayed[00:01:34]
Watch me crawl till I took my first step [00:01:35]
To the first grade[00:01:37]
To my first fist fight[00:01:39]
Right behind me he would stand[00:01:40]
No matter how big or tall he[00:01:42]
Made me fight you like a man[00:01:43]
Throw dirt in your eye swing[00:01:45]
My right scoop your a** and slam[00:01:46]
He watched me so[00:01:48]
I wouldn't get jumped by shorty's fam[00:01:49]
Roaches and w**d all over my[00:01:51]
Crib him and moms relaxing[00:01:53]
Next thing you know he packing[00:01:54]
So then I asked him[00:01:56]
What's this white sh*t[00:01:57]
On that plate and your facing [00:01:58]
Papa why you butt a** from the waist[00:02:00]
And who's this lady I'm facing[00:02:02]
Dark skin you're not my mommy[00:02:03]
He grabbed me up to run[00:02:05]
Some smooth words by me[00:02:07]
Promise things that he would buy me[00:02:08]
If I kept my mouth[00:02:10]
Close and don't tell mommy[00:02:11]
He said one day I'll understand little me[00:02:12]
Was in you to side me[00:02:14]
Papa was player player wasn't papa[00:02:16]
Papa loved the ladies[00:02:19]
Never got enough of[00:02:21]
Pretty brown round[00:02:22]
Running round town (Shhhhh)[00:02:24]
Don't tell your mother what's going down[00:02:26]
Papa was player player wasn't papa[00:02:29]
Papa loved the ladies[00:02:32]
Never got enough of[00:02:33]
Pretty brown round[00:02:35]
Running round town (Shhhhh)[00:02:36]
Don't tell your mother what's going down[00:02:38]
Pop's told me hold my own[00:02:41]
Pop's told me value home[00:02:42]
Could I help it papa was a rolling stone[00:02:44]
Who loved the pretty brown round[00:02:46]
Out of town bound[00:02:48]
Jumping in his jazz Benz he touring[00:02:49]
At home I play his latest recordings[00:02:51]
And it's strange now how I do my thing now[00:02:53]
I'm in the game now[00:02:55]
And heard of it his brain pow[00:02:56]
To pull strings and gain power[00:02:58]
From w**d habits are same now[00:03:00]
No white lines to trumpets to tight rhymes[00:03:01]
And beats that be pumping[00:03:03]
Before he left he taught me something[00:03:04]
A child's young years the[00:03:06]
Most important time to be there[00:03:07]
That's why he stayed till we grew up [00:03:09]
Respect is still here[00:03:11]
I'm older now see what[00:03:12]
Having a father's about[00:03:13]
One day they can be in[00:03:15]
Your life next day they be out[00:03:17]
It's not because of you [00:03:18]
You know the deal[00:03:19]
Him and your moms feel[00:03:20]
If they stay together then[00:03:21]
Someone will get killed[00:03:23]
I love you still[00:03:24]
Always will[00:03:25]
Cause that's my ni**a[00:03:26]
Although you felt you was wrong[00:03:27]
I still feel you kid[00:03:29]
Life gose on[00:03:30]
