Nigga Please

(album: The Blueprint 2: The Gift & The Curse - 2002)

What, uh, c'mon uh
Keep the change, my nigga, it's too late
(Uh, uh, Young, Neptunes)
It's too late for that
(Young Chris)
Don't gotta to spit that game
Keep the change, my nigga, it's too late for that
(ROC in the building)
Keep the change, my nigga, it's too late for that
(Uh, pimp stroll, pop my collar, hug the block, get dollars)
Keep the change, my nigga, it's too late for that
(Pimp stroll, pop my collar, hug my nuts, bitch holler)

My nigga, please – you ain't signing no checks like these
My nigga, please – you pushing no wheels like these
My nigga, please – you ain't holding no TECs like these
My nigga, please – you don't pop open vests like these
(My nigga please, uh-huh, uh)
(This my world, pimp stroll, let's do this)

Nigga please, you ain't start out from your trunk
Then reach the roof, just to put your roof in your trunk
Nigga please, chumps don't tour like us
You on the road a million hours, I fly over your bus
Nigga please, you ain't got your neck all froze
With the same logo that you got sketched on your clothes
Nigga please, you don't be getting no hoes
With La Perla on their cheeks, can't be messing with cheap chicks
Nigga please, you seldom seen with chicks in 7 jeans
Manolo Blahnik, I'm going through their body like an ultrasonic
You ain't got 'em blowing no chronic
Divine intervention, y'all can't prevent me from shining
Nigga please, I been around the world
I damn near beat Jordan in around-the-world
Nigga please, you can't even hold my shoes
I got wannabes who wanna be me that sound better than you

My nigga, please – you ain't signing no checks like these
My nigga, please – you pushing no wheels like these
My nigga, please – you ain't holding no TECs like these
My nigga, please – you don't pop open vests like these

Ah! Pimp strolling on 'em
Black diamonds, rose golding on 'em, paper folding on 'em
Snuck pass the dog noses with the Folger's on 'em
Keys, Saran Wrap with petroleum on 'em
Snitch got pinched but he told it on him
Lawyers got it adjourned, 'til I squeeze 'em on him
There's no witnesses, it's no holding on him
Just George Jefferson strolling on 'em, uh
Nigga please, this is me, this is real as it be
My, videos is like Real TV
That chick, that's me, that 6, that's me
That boat, I had it on the Mediterranean sea
Nigga please

My nigga, please – you ain't signing no checks like these
My nigga, please – you pushing no wheels like these
My nigga, please – you ain't holding no TECs like these
My nigga, please – you don't pop open vests like these

Yo, yo
Nigga please, y'all ain't seeing no checks like these (no)
Y'all don't run up in record labels demanding respect like we
Y'all don't rock your Roc-A-Wear Nike checks like we
Y'all coach class, y'all never private jet like we
My nigga please, y'all don't smoke the sour diesel like us
You don't go to Pop and get ya flour cheaper than us
Knock it off in three hours and repeat it like us
And repeat it we must, y'all don't re-up like us
Ay, y'all ain't being like us, 'cause y'all don't see it like us
They move the Ds when they rush
My nigga please, they must be on Es and dust
Them niggas F'in with pills, y'all don't get Gs like us
My nigga please, y'all young'ns ain't got O.G.s like me
B. Sig, Young Hov', Dame Dash, Kareem
Nigga please, somebody must've gassed your team
Think a nigga outrun or outlast gangrene (GangGreen)
My nigga please

My nigga, please – you ain't signing no checks like these
My nigga, please – you pushing no wheels like these
My nigga, please – you ain't holding no TECs like these
My nigga, please – you don't pop open vests like these

Amazing man, got your Elvis soul
I made my money! I don't trouble the law
I keep the women's around
I drive the gremlins crazy
You wanna know the time?
Better have your shades, see
My nigga please

My nigga, please – you ain't signing no checks like these
My nigga, please – you pushing no wheels like these
My nigga, please – you ain't holding no TECs like these
My nigga, please – you don't pop open vests like these
