No Bad Energy

NAS

4

I′m oblivious to you skeptics

What you hear you ain't ever hear ′til I repped it

Iridescent heroes essence, please clear the exitsI chase demons outdoors, force 'em to hear the message, air 'em out

Heard some people discussing my whereabouts

Yeah, it′s been a few sightings of me, a fair amount

Never seen much, but yet I′m never in the house

Move in style, wild, exciting when I do step out

Y'all been rhyming for years and Jungle made a hit

"Oochie Wally" ideas

Sold a million records

Had ′em embarrassed

Signed to Columbia

Blew a check, he was laughing

While y'all in the studio bragging about your past and

Thinking back on trips on Manhattan

Dad was rolling hotels like the plaza

Black bellhops holding

Rich people bags, tip their hats to old men coming out of cabs

Limousine holding doors for them

We all got a job to do, go for it

No bad energy please, no bad energy

(Just try to be the best you, man, that′s all I can say, man)

No bad energy please, no bad energy

(Don't light over here, man, put that away, man, put that away)

No bad energy please, no bad energy

(Tryna tell ′em, know what I'm saying? Big Apple my Hennessy, please)

No bad energy please, no bad energy (On the rocks, yeah)

To rappers who never sold crack, telling other people's lives

Never shot nobody but be shooting people in their rhymes

Never robbed nobody or re-upped with coke in they ride

I′m probably who they talking about

When they′re writing most of their lines

And I ain't notice it

Trapping was what was happening with bolder cliques

Around me I′m surrounded by the most devoted clique

We saw the smokers get rowdy for all the potentness

And still ain't know how sick it was in that ocean abyss

What doesn′t come out in the wash comes out in the rinse

You suckers ain't had no say so

Whoever put you in the position to

Have a say so should be questioned theyself

I′m silk shirt, summer time sunny, sun chaser

Pretty girl tongue taster, southern girl luster

City girl love maker

The matinee watcher

The good weather on a Saturday afternoon shopper

Good gift copper

Still miss Big Poppa

No bad energy please, no bad energy

No bad energy please, no bad energy

No bad energy please, no bad energy

No bad energy please, no bad energy
