Where's The Love

Nas

Letra

    [Verse 1]
    At times I window watch at the Wynn hotel
    Lots of thinking happens in life, will I win or fail?
    Mind of a shooter, CFO also
    Ethiopian food flown in, it's unlawful
    Money is attractive, honey dress strapless
    Agent Provocateur underwear: she's classic
    Stroll up in the party: titanium black car
    Romanian ladies like Casablanca, Casbah
    'Cept we in the VIP area, that's ours
    You know the real rap gods, typical trap star turned rap star
    These old heads got stories, the days they was kings
    I pray secret indictments don't take away their dreams
    You 16, you could do 20, come home young
    Catch 20 years when you 40? Holmes, you're done
    What have we become? Rap stars from trap stars
    Black gods to Ansars to Sunnis back to goonies
    A 360 in the streets real grizzly
    Shooters is cold, kid, the old shit was learning
    Student enrollment, the focus, yet hooligans roll with
    Toasters to pop your medullas off of your shoulders
    This ain't the Truman Show; it's the human show
    Ask the F.B.I. agent at his cubicle
    Chewing on his pencil eraser with intents to erase you
    It's U.S.A. against the gangsta, where's the love?

    [Cocaine 80s]
    Love, I'll trade you love
    I've traded fire with you long enough
    Is that all you brung? It's not love
    That's fucked up, but I saved your soul
    Roll that up

    [Nas]
    Sometimes I sit on the bench just to watch the game
    Feet on cement, there ain't a mobster living I could name
    Who made it out rich, in his absence I do not proclaim
    To not have a heart like wild animals not tamed
    Maybe just a typical thug nigga was my rank
    'Cept I had a vision above niggas, what I think
    It's crazy how many brothers come where I come from
    Some made it out big, some dead, some unsung
    Shots for soldiers on 23 hours lock-up
    Younger generation, they want to mimic and mock us
    Laughing, separating themselves like they not us, like
    "Cops'll look at you like they look at me? That's preposterous"
    Ain't it gangsta how your man made it? I'm humble
    One gun, one crazy ass nigga, that's Jungle
    Now we having babies, cause growing up it was just us
    No uncles or cousins to fight with us, we was fucked up
    But still it was beautiful, the love is mutual
    Even though me and Jung ain't show up to your funeral
    I hold your son hand, tell him he the man, we love you
    Your pops was king, you have a whole lot to live up to
    The G is in your genes, already you tuck
    Inherit your dad's swag, it's George Jefferson's strut
    Stay flyest, they gon' want to know what in your diet
    Don't be surprised if they want to check your shit and your vomit
    Tell them you let it marinate, they swear you made them a promise
    No matter what they do, you just stay a man of honor
    I'm a street corner nigga, New York Knicks loyalist
    Corona sipper, pass it out, might blow it with you
    It ain't the Truman show; it's the human show
    Ask the F.B.I. agent at his cubicle
    Chews on his pencil eraser with intents to erase you
    Young brother go and get your paper, I got love

    [Cocaine 80s]
    Love, I'll trade you love
    I've traded fire with you long enough
    Is that all you brung? It's not love
    That's fucked up, but I saved your soul
    Roll that up
