《Carry On Tradition》歌词

[00:00:00] Artist: Nas

[00:00:01] Album: Hip Hop is Dead

[00:00:04] Yea niggaz want to talk about this rap sh*t

[00:00:06] Niggaz want to talk about this money

[00:00:09] About these cars these homes these labels

[00:00:15] Clothes sneakers big money sh*t

[00:00:19] Now everybody tryin' to get rich

[00:00:21] Now get rich niggaz f**k it

[00:00:23] Some rap pioneers be them crackheads

[00:00:24] When they speak you see missin' teeth

[00:00:27] Silver chain with a silver piece

[00:00:29] Niggaz your grandfather's age

[00:00:30] They pants still hangin' down they legs talkin' about they ain't paid

[00:00:33] And they hate you 'cause they say you ain't pay dues

[00:00:38] And *edited* *edited* was stealin' and robbin' them

[00:00:40] I feel it's a problem we gotta resolve

[00:00:41] Hip-Hop been dead we the reason it died

[00:00:44] Wasn't Sylvia's fault or because MC's skills are lost

[00:00:47] It's because we can't see ourselves as the boss

[00:00:49] Deep-rooted through slavery self-hatred

[00:00:51] The Jewish stick together friends in high places

[00:00:54] We on some low level sh*t

[00:00:56] We don't want niggaz to ever win

[00:00:58] See everybody got a label

[00:01:00] Everybody's a rapper but few flow fatal

[00:01:02] It's f**ked up it all started from two turntables

[00:01:06] When they crown you - and you rise up to your position

[00:01:09] +Carry On Tradition+

[00:01:11] When they knight you - then you go to fight go to war don't petition

[00:01:15] +Carry On Tradition+ - +Carry On Tradition+

[00:01:18] Carry on ca-carry on +Carry On tradition+

[00:01:21] +Carry On Tradition+ when you rep what we rep

[00:01:25] Then +Carry On Tradition+

[00:01:27] Now some of these new rappers got their caps flipped backwards

[00:01:29] Wit their fingers intertwined in some gang-sign madness

[00:01:31] I got an exam let's see if y'all pass it

[00:01:34] Let's see who can quote a Daddy Kane line the fastest

[00:01:36] Some of you new rappers I don't understand your code

[00:01:39] You have your man shoot you like in that Sopranos episode

[00:01:41] Do anythin' to get in the game mixtapes you spit hate

[00:01:45] Against bosses; hungry f**ks are moraless

[00:01:47] You should be tossed in a pit full of unfortunate vocalists

[00:01:49] Niggaz I coulda wrote your sh*t; I had off-time was bored wit this

[00:01:54] I coulda made my double-LP just by samplin' different parts of Nautilus

[00:01:57] Still came five on the charts with zero audience

[00:02:00] The lane was open and y'all was droppin' that garbage sh*t

[00:02:03] Y'all got awards for your bricks - it got good to ya

[00:02:06] You started tellin' them bigger dogs to call it quits WHAT

[00:02:09] When they crown you - and you rise up to your position

[00:02:13] +Carry On Tradition+

[00:02:14] When they knight you - then you go to fight go to war don't petition

[00:02:17] +Carry On Tradition+ - +Carry On Tradition+

[00:02:20] Carry on ca-carry on +Carry On tradition+

[00:02:24] +Carry On Tradition+ when you rep what we rep

[00:02:27] Then +Carry On Tradition+

[00:02:28] Now niggaz got the studio poppin' it's mad clearer

[00:02:31] Engineers got his earplugs and still hear us

[00:02:33] The live-in-the-park sound versus the studio state of art sound

[00:02:38] We on the charts now; from British Walkers and Argyles

[00:02:41] Look at us rap stars now wit our black cars now

[00:02:44] Fortune 500 listed brunches sip Cipriani's

[00:02:47] Sippin' blunted with rich white guys around me

[00:02:50] Thick white girls around me Chinese lined up

[00:02:53] Because I'm what every dime lust

[00:02:55] We used to be a ghetto secret; can't make my mind up

[00:02:58] If I want that or the whole world to peep it

[00:03:01] Now +Carry On tradition+

[00:03:02] F**k a bum wack rapper makin' his career out of dissin'

[00:03:06] Peace to the strugglin' artists and dead one's gone we miss 'em

[00:03:09] I promise I +Carry On tradition+

[00:03:11] When they crown you - and you rise up to your position

[00:03:14] +Carry On Tradition+

[00:03:15] When they knight you - then you go to fight go to war don't petition

[00:03:19] +Carry On Tradition+ - +Carry On Tradition+

[00:03:23] Carry on ca-carry on +Carry On tradition+

[00:03:27] +Carry On Tradition+ when you rep what we rep

[00:03:30] Then +Carry On Tradition+
