lirik lagu nas flowers – grizzy hendrix

[intro: grizzy hendrix & nas]
who’s world is this?

“queensbridge music, but we didn’t wanna keep it out here and just that like that, we wanna give it to everybody, we want everybody to ride with us, ’cause everybody going through the same thing. lyrically it may talk about different points of views since illmatic, since i’ve grown, know what i mean? and it’s talking about something that was always meant to be here, know what i mean?”

[verse 1: grizzy hendrix]
he was a queensbridge native, also one of your favorite’s
a top tier lyricist, not even worth debating
if he’s in your top 5, if not you probably a hater
when illmatic dropped, we got a taste of who’s the greatest
take a trip down memory lane, let’s all get faded
while we listen to his cadence, the way he worded his phrases
storytelling’s amazing, brought us through every stage in his
life, felt like his neighbour, gazing through all his phases
he painted on pages, embracing his anger
and pain he was engraved with, that weighed on his brain
in them project shoutouts, sh*ll cases blazing
and unfamiliar faces, you know the name so say it
queensbridge, where them k!llers shootup and spray sh*t
i say that to say this, god’s son is sacred
that other fake sh*t get shipped off and just skipped
here goes your flowers before it’s too late to smell it

[hook: grizzy hendrix]
yeah
my poetry’s deep i never fail
all the way from queensbridge to bk they’ll yell
god’s son, n*a*s that’s what they spell
nas is like… yeah, you know them lyrics well
now through some flowers up for the greatest and just kneel
my poetry’s deep i never fail
all the way from queensbridge to bk they’ll yell
god’s son, n*a*s that’s what they spell
[verse 2: grizzy hendrix]
see every song that nas said and gave us basically raised us
from one mic, but he wasn’t moon walking on stages
it’s ageless, anything less is just outrageous
i grew up on your tapes, studied this sh*t verbatim
and now i get to put your greatest hits on my playlist
thanks to my ipod, i got your top songs to ride around knock
when i hit rock bottom, dwayne’s special, f*ck it nevermind
listening to it was written got me thinking ’bout the times
when rap had substance and wasn’t ’bout your budget
and n*ggas wasn’t budging for these crackers tryna judge us
you spoke for the people and taught us to love each other
man i wish you and 2pac got to work with one another
’cause y’all was both legends, steady reppin’ and tellin’
black folks a message this new era’s not gettin’
nas aka god’s son, sent from heaven

[hook: grizzy hendrix]
yeah
my poetry’s deep i never fail
all the way from queensbridge to bk they’ll yell
god’s son, n*a*s that’s what they spell
nas is like… yeah, you know them lyrics well
now through some flowers up for the greatest and just kneel
my poetry’s deep i never fail
all the way from queensbridge to bk they’ll yell
god’s son, n*a*s that’s what they spell
[verse 3: grizzy hendrix]
i’m just glad i got to witness the illest and realest n*gga
to pick up a pad and pen, and spilling all of his feelings
poppa was a playa, playa was in poppa
it’s sh*t like that don demarco that you was dropping
that had all of queens bopping, and all the b*tches flocking
my big cousin always would dream that you were her husband
had every single album that you dropped, swear she loved ya
but back to one of the greatest, you was one of the innovators
when it came to making a statement on your latest, never changed up
or created some bullsh*t to try and keep up with these fakers
it’s ’cause of you we got rappers like kendrick or cole, that matters
it might be a new chapter of lyricists that come after
i just had to let you know you’re the reason i’m even rapping
your legacy is way too vast to even capture

[hook: grizzy hendrix]
yeah
my poetry’s deep i never fail
all the way from queensbridge to bk they’ll yell
god’s son, n*a*s that’s what they spell
nas is like… yeah, you know them lyrics well
now through some flowers up for the greatest and just kneel
my poetry’s deep i never fail
all the way from queensbridge to bk they’ll yell
god’s son, n*a*s that’s what they spell
[outro: grizzy hendrix and nas]
yeah, god’s son across the belly
ayo shoutout to greatest who ever did it man, nas!
i remember getting illmatic, my cousin had put me onto that sh*t
and when i first heard it, i was like “d*mn, this n*gga ain’t really talking about no k!lling, he ain’t k!lling n0body!” y’know because at that time there was a lot of gangster rappers and y’know they was k!lling each other in their records, and that was the sh*t that i grew up listening to like, y’know, lifestyles ov da poor & dangerous with big l, but then when my cousin put me onto nas, i was like “oh sh*t, this n*gga really is kicking some sh*t”
i had to get a little older and mature, because at that time y’know, i was just… i was a little knucklehead, getting into trouble, but i would say that nas is someone who really mentored me with my rap sk!lls like, because of him i feel like…
i don’t know man, i feel like music needs substance and it needs motherf*ckers just saying something to be honest, and that’s really… i don’t know, that’s really it y’all
shout out to nas, one of greatest to do it y’all
give him his flowers!

“it’s like every rapper is a prophet to me, and not to look at it so serious, but it’s like that with me, i take rap serious, like rakim said “i take this more serious than just a poem”, y’know what i mean? that right there, y’know is real.”
