Poppa Was A Playa(Clean Version) - Nas[00:00:00]

To My Nigga who brought me in this world[00:00:04]

Taught us right Nigga[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[00:00:16]

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[00:00:25]

I turned out the Jonny Carson[00:00:27]

Jumped out the bed[00:00:28]

We grabbed both his legs[00:00:30]

Me and my brother[00:00:31]

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 while we played inside the hall way[00:00:39]

She sacrifices all she got to feed us[00:00:43]

When she was alone she cried by the phone pepping out the window heeding[00:00:45]

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 knew what the time was[00:00:56]

That daddy was leaving the crib and moms love[00:00:59]

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[00:01:23]

So many kids I knew never knew what Pap was[00:01:26]

That's why I show my pop love[00:01:29]

He was still around when I f**ked up[00:01:31]

He could have left[00:01:33]

My moms pregnant shock to death but stayed[00:01:34]

Watch me crawl till I took my first step to the first grade[00:01:36]

To my first fist fight[00:01:39]

Right behind me he would stand[00:01:40]

No matter how big or tall he made me fight you like a man[00:01:42]

Throw dirt in your eye swing my right scoop your ass and slam[00:01:45]

He watched me so I wouldn't get jumped by shorty's fam[00:01:48]

Roaches and weed all over my crib him and moms relaxing[00:01:51]

Next thing you know he packing[00:01:55]

So then I asked him[00:01:57]

What's this white shit on that plate and your facing [00:01:59]

Papa why you butt ass from the waist[00:02:01]

And who's this lady I'm facing[00:02:02]

Dark skin you're not my mommy[00:02:04]

He grabbed me up to run some smooth words by me[00:02:05]

Promise things that he would buy me[00:02:08]

If I kept my mouth close and don't tell mommy[00:02:10]

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)[00:02:37]

Don't tell your mother what's going down[00:02:39]

Pop's told me hold my own[00:02:41]

Pop's told me value home[00:02:43]

Could I help it papa was a rolling stone[00:02:45]

Who loved the pretty brown round[00:02:47]

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[00:02:56]

And heard of it his brain pow[00:02:57]

To pull strings and gain power[00:02:58]

From weed 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 most important time to be there[00:03:06]

That's why he stayed till we grew up respect is still here[00:03:09]

I'm older now see what having a father's about[00:03:12]

One day they can be in your life next day they be out[00:03:15]

It's not because of you you know the deal[00:03:18]

Him and your moms feel[00:03:20]

If they stay together then someone will get killed[00:03:21]

I love you still[00:03:24]

Always will[00:03:25]

Cause that's my nigga[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]
