You Owe Me
Bravehearts; Nas Lyrics

Uh, it's real, it's real, it's real
This is no joke, I am being serious

Uh, uh, owe me back, uh shorty
You owe me something, lady

Shorty, say what's your price
What are you charging?

Just to back it up
To prove to me you’re worth it

You can hold my ice
You can wear my jewelry

Now let's say you owe me something
You owe me a debt

Yeah, owe me back like you owe your tax
You owe me big time, like you owe the government

Owe me back like forty acres to Blacks
You owe me restitution, like reparations owed to black Americans

Pay me back when you shake it like that girl
Repay me when you perform for me the way I want

Yeah owe me back like you owe your rent
You owe me like you owe your landlord

Owe me back like its money I spent
Repay me as if you are paying me back for something I purchased for you

Pay me back when you shake it again
Pay up when you perform again

The don, all the time, with all the shine
I am the boss, always shining, always in charge

You small time, I ball with mine
You are insignificant, while I'm successful

Links, minks, Bentley, it's all with mine
I own all the top of the line products

My jams bump out to the borderline
My songs are popular everywhere, even near the boundary lines

UK hot with it, blew spots with it
My music is popular in the UK, and I have gotten a lot of attention with it

Every continent love when I spit it
People all around the world love my music

Corners to blocks, even the cops feel it
Everyone, including the police, enjoy listening to my music

Brothas on lockdown on their cots feel it
Even brothers locked up in prison enjoy my music

It's real in the field the Last Mohican
I am the last one surviving and representing my neighborhood with pride

Who survived in the streets and did something decent
I overcame the dangers of the streets and did something positive with my life

Now I got plans to buy the whole hood
My success allows me to give back to my community by buying out the entire area

Legit' now, I ain't gotta lie to no judge
I'm a law-abiding citizen now, and don't need to lie in court

I make hits now, money I flip now
I am making lots of money by producing successful music now

Hood fella every honey wanna kiss now
Every woman wants to be with me now that I am successful

I lit up my neck, pinkie, and wrist now
I am now flashing lots of jewelry on my body

So girls everywhere, this is how we get down
This is how my lifestyle is, and all the ladies should take notice

Play to win, girls in the club moving
I'm always playing to win, and making the ladies move in the club

I get ?em real hot, my songs seduce 'em
My music is so good, it makes the girls feel hot and seductive

I flow, I'm so mysterious
I am smooth and enigmatic as I flow on the mic

Nas, and Nasty's the alias
My stage name is Nas, but my rough style is known as Nasty

Everything platinum I glow
I have achieved platinum success, and now I sparkle and gleam

Cadillac trucks pulling up to the do'
I have luxurious mode of transportation, and it's parked right outside the club

On top out the car, lounge at the bar
I am riding on top of my car and relaxing at the bar

We spent a thou', we wild, look at how rowdy we are
We spent a lot of money, and look at how crazy and wild we are

Feel like a million dollars, feel me holler
I feel rich and successful, hear me shout

To the max with the Benz and chrome wheeled Impalas
I own high-end cars, and I’m living large

Thugs and renta's, to the playas and ballers
Everyone from thugs to successful businessmen are in my company

Sexy mamas, fly ladies lookin' proper
Beautiful and stylish women are around me

Look good enough to be taken shoppin'
These ladies look so good, I want to take them shopping

Earrings, bracelets, now you rocking
I gave you jewelry, and now you are looking great

Your body's so nice that I give you this option
You look amazing, so I am giving you the opportunity to wear my jewelry

Let you wear my big chain if we get it popping
If we get this party started, I will let you wear my expensive chain

I put the shackles on your feet (You owe me)
I have control over you (symbolized by the shackles), because you owe me a debt

I think you owe me some (You owe me)
You definitely owe me something, no doubt about it

The shackles on your feet (You owe Nas)
I have control over you, because you owe me a debt, specifically

I think you owe me some (You owe Ginuwine)
I also think Ginuwine is owed something by you

(You owe Timbaland, you owe me)
You also owe Timbaland a debt, as well as me

Lock you down baby, you know what you owe me
I am going to keep a tight reign over you until you repay your debt

Mack like Goldie, it's the same story
I'm swaggering like the character Goldie, and it's always the same: women owe me

Let you hold something, you spending it right
I'm letting you borrow something, and I trust you'll use it wisely

Know where you gon' be by the end of the night
I know exactly where you will end up by the end of the night

Make it bounce, shake it, move it around
Show off your body and dance for me

Wiggle it a little bit, throw it to the south
Shake your body, and dance Southern-style

Fantasizing me inside and you riding
We're both fantasizing about me being inside of you

Throw it like a stallion, you wearin' my medallion
Perform like a wild horse, while you're wearing my expensive chain

You owe me something, oh yeah
Don't forget, you definitely owe me something

You owe Nas
You owe me specifically

You owe Ginuwine
You also owe Ginuwine

You owe Timbaland
You even owe the famous producer Timbaland

You owe us something, baby
You owe all of us something, sweetie

Oh, oh, oh
Singing vocalization, indicating the end of the song
