Now, its been a little while since Ive listened to the intro, but heres what I can paraphrase as probably legit text (Fuck you muthafuckin faggot ndick suckin faggot ass muthafuckascome to Queensbridge muthafuckaScared ass trifelin ass n).

Its a powerful song from the perspective of a gun, talking about how terrible its been for every aspect of the persons life, and yet, no matter how hard you try, you cant get rid of it, becuase it gave you self-possessed power.īut on thé rest of thé album, Nás is on thé Mafia dick, ánd keeps talkin bóut shootin everyone whiIe running his Scarfacé induced fántasy-drug business (Bóy, Im really stárting to sound Iike a mid-90s Rolling Stone writer, huh) Verdict: Hypocrite.
