Who U Rep With
50 Cent Lyrics

Had talked to the rich ones who flash and floss
Nas converses with wealthy individuals who flaunt their riches

pour some liquors out to my dogs trapped up north

reminisce on the deceased who no longer exist

only wishin we could bring em back with songls like this

old flicks of us chillin with the old time cliques
Nas remembers the old times and hanging out with his old crew

hold the nine start some death not our lives we risk
Nas remembers the risk they took during their dangerous activities

how it used to be, early morn pumpin in shifts
Nas reminisces about his past activities with his crew

jakes with pale faces and the night is the scariest
Nas recalls the fear they had of the police

they handcuffed me, they knew my government and alias
Nas remembers being arrested by the police who knew his real name and his street name

various calls were made up for awarin us
Nas and his crew received prior warning of police raids

the deeds in the marked vans and cabs in our land
Nas remembers police busts that he and his crew had to avoid
