Doo Rags(Clean Version)-Nas[00:00:01]

Pushin' drop-tops Stacy Lattisaw tapes the 80's had us all apes Youngest gorillas up to bat at home plate[00:00:16]

That was a uncanny era in my pants[00:00:26]

Yeah X Clan hair with dreads at the top of my fade[00:00:28]

Homicide an' Feds on the blocks where I played b-ball[00:00:31]

That's when I wondered was I here for the cause or be-cause[00:00:33]

'Cause Ray Charles could see the ghetto[00:00:36]

Was told to stay strong an' I could beat the devil[00:00:38]

'Cause yo I used to play Apollo Balcony seats[00:00:40]

Watchin' swing razors in the front row then out in the streets[00:00:42]

The car show 560's chemical afros[00:00:47]

Acuras pumpin' Super Lover Cee an' Casanova[00:00:48]

Live chicks be bustin' out of they clothes[00:00:50]

Wearin' lip gloss big door knockers pealin' they earlobes[00:00:52]

So where them years go Where the old gold beers an' cheers go [00:00:56]

But now them shorties here doe so[00:01:00]

The doo rags are back fitted hats snorkels an' furs[00:01:02]

Riker's Island bustin' still packed what's the word [00:01:04]

The drinkers stay drinkin' or puffin' they[00:01:07]

An' I'm still enjoyin' life's ride one mo' time[00:01:09]

The doo rags are back fitted hats snorkels an' furs[00:01:12]

Riker's Island bustin' still packed what's the word [00:01:15]

The drinkers stay drinkin' or puffin' they[00:01:18]

An' I'm still enjoyin' life's ride right[00:01:20]

Political thugs in shark suits persuade us to pull[00:01:22]

In army boots yellin "Join the armed forces"[00:01:25]

We lost the Vietnam War intoxicated poisons[00:01:27]

Needles in arms of veterans instead of bigger fortunes[00:01:29]

There's still a lot of crawlin' in the carpet offices[00:01:32]

War in the ghetto we crabs in a barrel they torture us[00:01:35]

They won't be servin' the beast too long[00:01:37]

The murderers wearin' police uniforms confederate flags I burn[00:01:39]

Beat street breakers were dancin' to the music I chose[00:01:42]

An' Peachtree Atlantic heads was tootin' they nose[00:01:44]

In frozen corners of Chicago loaded up Llama's children[00:01:46]

With an' double[00:01:51]

We devil incarnates headed for jail[00:01:52]

Where Shell gas company in South Africa be havin' us killed[00:01:55]

Your paper money was the death of Christ[00:01:58]

An' all these shorties comin' up just resurrect your life[00:02:00]

It's like a cycle[00:02:02]

The doo rags are back fitted hats snorkels an' furs[00:02:03]

Riker's Island bustin' still packed what's the word [00:02:06]

The drinkers stay drinkin' or puffin' they[00:02:08]

An' I'm still enjoyin' life's ride one mo' time[00:02:11]

The doo rags are back fitted hats snorkels an' furs[00:02:14]

Riker's Island bustin' still packed what's the word [00:02:16]

The drinkers stay drinkin' or puffin' they[00:02:18]

An' I'm still enjoyin' life's ride right[00:02:20]

Used to wear rags on they hair when it was fried up[00:02:24]

That's when we were lied to buyin' hair products[00:02:26]

Back before my generation when our blackness started disintegratin'[00:02:29]

'Til awareness started penetratin'[00:02:32]

The styles come from prison they used potatoes makin' liquor[00:02:34]

Just to prove we some creative[00:02:37]

Turnin' nothin' into somethin' is God work[00:02:39]

An' you get nothin' without struggle an' hard work[00:02:41]

War is necessary to my in chains[00:02:44]

From Greene to Sing-Sing I'm wantin' y'all to know one thing[00:02:46]

The hardest thing is to forgive but God does[00:02:49]

Even if you murdered or robbed yeah it's wrong but God loves[00:02:52]

Take one step toward him he takes two towards you[00:02:54]

Even when all else fail God support you[00:02:57]

I done it got God sun on my stomach[00:03:00]

My heart an' my lungs was affected from an' gettin'[00:03:02]

Do your body right an' it loves you back[00:03:05]

You only get one life an' yo because of that[00:03:07]

I'm still blazin' goin' out for the cause[00:03:10]

Still rockin' stockin' not for the waves obeyin' no laws[00:03:12]

An' it's like that[00:03:15]

The doo rags are back fitted hats snorkels an' furs[00:03:16]

Riker's Island bustin' still packed what's the word [00:03:18]

The drinkers stay drinkin' or puffin' they[00:03:20]

An' I'm still enjoyin' life's ride one mo' time[00:03:23]

The doo rags are back fitted hats snorkels an' furs[00:03:25]

Riker's Island bustin' still packed what's the word [00:03:28]

The drinkers stay drinkin' or puffin' they[00:03:30]

An' I'm still enjoyin' life's ride right[00:03:33]
