Nas - 40 Side Lyrics

Uh (Hit-Boy)

OG Talk
Project halls
40 Side where a nigga seen it all (for real, for real)
I can send niggas a slide
I'd rather show them the ropes
Integrity matters the most
I gave the hood hope

Damn, I gave the hood classics
Something to open your mind
Instead of going out crashin'
How was you real when you hate the real?
My nigga I'm simply askin'
Can't just talk about the plan you gotta put it in action

Ain't no pity party for yourself
You gotta get up rise for your wealth
Can't spend all that time in your feelings
Tryin' to sympathize with yourself (for real, for real)
Don't nobody owe you
Ain't nobody holding you back (woo)
You stuck in illusions
Attached to something that ain't even that
South Beach, Nassau, Amalfi, Maldives, same beach
Unless you are after somethin' most men just can't see
Shorty off the block, shorty off the runway, same freak (for real, for real)
We all got the access to open doors like we share the same key
OG Talk

A lot of things down like
Incarceration, you know, crimes, drugs, violence
Out of all of this you gotta look for the positive
OG Talk

OG Talk (OG talk)
Project halls (project halls)
40 Side where a nigga seen it all (seen it all)
(For real, for real)
I can send niggas a slide (slide)
I'd rather show them the ropes (ropes)
Integrity matters the most (most)
I gave the hood hope (hope)

Damn, niggas really got it jumpin'
They finally gave Nas a Grammy
Just front me the gold, that wasn't the goal
First clip was a warning shot
Nigga we spinnin' back up the road
Through the boroughs, pull up a Rolls
Empty this bitch and reload (for real, for real)
When you been in it this long, it's gon' look like it's magic
Only island that my niggas knew was Rikers or Staten
You get your first V12, tap the pedal then stab it
Get your first ten milli' watch that shit like a habit (for real, for real)

OG Talk
Shoutout 41st Side
Jackson Heights, Flushing, Elmhurst right
Keep your blickie you know how the streets work (for real, for real)
Seen too many of us die over the turf

OG Talk (OG talk)
Project halls (project halls)
40 Side where a nigga seen it all (seen it all)
(For real, for real)
I can send niggas a slide (slide)
I'd rather show them the ropes (ropes)
Integrity matters the most (most)
I gave the hood hope (hope)

'Til then
We gon' be thuggin' behind the project buildin' (for real, for real)
Plottin' on a way that we can make a million
A billion, until then, we gon' be thuggin'
