Nas - Just A Moment (12" Mix) Lyrics
From the 12" "Just A Moment"
Verse 1 Quan
Can we please have a moment of silence?
That's for my niggaz doin' years in confinement
And for my soldiers that passed over, no longer living
That couldn't run whenever the reaper came to get 'em
Can we please pour out some liquor?
Symobolizin', let's take in time to consider that
Though our thugs ain't here, the love is here
And we gon' rep 'til slugs kill us here
This for my dawgs stuck in the struggle tryin' to gain
Smokin' trauma, sniffin' Ra while sellin' cocaine
Trapped in the game, not knowin' how to stop and get by
To live it alive, so instead they live it to die
Can we please have a moment of peace?
For every G that fell for his flag in the streets
Bloodin' and thuggin', folkin' and lokin'
Crypin' and creepin', Latin and kingin'
Or just for poor righteous teachin'
Chorus Quan sings
As days comes and night falls
For the rest of our life we'll miss y'all.
And even though life must go on, we still mourn.
While wishin' y'all were home
Verse 2 Nas
Yeah, and can we have another moment of silence?
For brothers who died from blackonblack violence
From here to the Dark Continent were rebels sell diamonds
To clients all through the world, got little Black girls dyin'
And can we please pour some more liquors?
For Will, Bokeem, Bar, Pappy my niggaz
Here's another Warrior Song from Nasty and Quan
It's to him I pass the baton to carry this on
Street's Disciple, salute to those who's gone with bullets
And I promise through rhymin' Quan gon' rep his life to the fullest
And can we please have a moment of truth?
For soldiers and troops away with helmets and boots
And families back home that pray they make it home safe
Hopin' that they don't get hit with a stray or missiles
This is just a moment to let you all know that we miss you
Mommy I'm still here, wishin' I was there with you
Let's take 'em home
Chorus
Verse 3 Quan
And can we please have a moment to mourn?
For Pac, Biggie and Pun 'cause through us they live on
Jam Master Jay, Freaky Ty and Alliyah
Big L and Left Eye, when we die we wish to see ya...
Nas
Photographs of lost memories,
On the block with blunts and Hennessey,
Pictures of niggas in mock neck shirts,
Valentine nail 'n brown bags
Brothers like to brag bout their cousins
That's locked in the system,
we all fall victim, we all call Christian
The Islamic faith,to restore all our faith
Barb wire, tall brick wall but we all can't escape
Chorus
Nas lyrics
