Nas - Black Girl Lost Lyrics

Hello?
What's up, girl?
Ain't nothing, this nigga in here stressing
Talking that old off the wall, back to Africa shit again
What? That God Body shit?
Yeah, that dumb shit
I'm tryna get up outta here
I hear that, but yo, you know the spot is pumping tonight
Word, for real, where?
You know, where the real niggas is popping the Cristal
Not that White Star
Haha, word, where the real niggas at?

Listen, to reason
Pretty baby, baby, listen

A young, wild, beautiful love child
You like 'em thug style, link rockin', then mink coppin'
Hit you on the sink, a hundred dollar drink poppin'
The head'll make you take him shoppin', a foul doctrine
Reminiscent of my first time up in a chick
You was innocent, but now you rent-a-dick, wear the tightest shit
Chanel, lookin' real, airbrushed nails
Hit the gym, hit the scales, heaven-sent but negligent (so fine)
To see a prophecy, your ebony tone is lockin' me
The way you moan, make me daydream of you on top of me
Wishin' I could be the one man
But you juggle way too many willies all in one hand
You wanna run up in clubs, gettin' rubbed on
Niggas pull your hair, shake your fat rear, get your fuck on
Followin' week, you back there, but what you stuck on?
Weed, clowns and cars
Puffin' with some lil' nigga, husband not knowin' she's out
Could you believe Eve, Mother Earth of the seas
Niggas thirst you, you just let 'em hurt you and leave
What up, ma? Frontin' like you naïve
Push your man's whip, calling police when you flip
Can't understand it, yo, it should be a throne for us
But for now that's a whole different zone from us, word

Diamonds all shinin', lookin all fine
Pretty little face, get a little high
Young girl stugglin', tryin' to survive
Mother of the Earth, she made you and I
Just tired of playin' the same ol' games
Messin' with my mind, emotional thangs
And there goes, a black girl, lost

Like Isis, she got you heart broke and felt lifeless
Grow up, girl, instead, you want revenge so now you act the nicest
To who'sever gettin' down and trifless
To get his mind, all you do is give him somethin' priceless
'Cause in time he'll realize the thighs is all he needs
More than weed, then you hit him off with lies and greed (deceit, yeah)
There you go again, startin' wars, makin' me more yours
Seem to get a kick out of keepin' me on all fours
Face glistenin', I'm addicted to you
Original, Wisdom Body got me picturing you
Igloos of ice trickin' on you, you never listen
To this nigga spendin' Franklins on tennis anklets
Must've had a bad deal in the past though
Can't even keep it real with a nigga with cash flow
Say men are all the same, what we need to do is break this chain
You got a job part-time and school's your night thing
With dreams to settle down, it ain't far from now
You gettin' interviewed, but your boss is into gettin' screwed
Typical day that the black girl sees
Comin' home wantin' more from a college degree

Diamonds all shinin', lookin' all fine
Pretty little face, get a little high
Young girl stugglin', tryin to survive
Mother of the Earth, she made you and I
Just tired of playin' the same ol' games
Messin' with my mind, emotional thangs
And there goes, a black girl, lost

Where are you focused, on legit niggas and where the coke is
Nice and Thug Life niggas, yo, you seem hopeless
Your value, too much to be measured, I wonder how you
Could ever be played, your pussy worth gold amountin' to
More than the world, but not knowin' nothin' about you
You leavin' the crib, takin' all your kids out to
Drop them off, lettin' some nigga knock you off
So hot and soft, that's the same thing that got you lost (you should be ashamed)
Growin' up seein' it, it should remind you, you bein' lied to
Everything that move be inside you
Sacred as you are, left with these wannabes to guide you
I watched you, hard to knock you, I tried not to
They spot you out dancin' topless in your drawers
Damn, look, there goes a black girl lost

You should be ashamed of yourself
The way you carry yourself
The way you hang out all night long
Doing silly things that is wrong
Black girl lost
