Last Words
Millenium Thug Nas Nashawn Lyrics

These are last words of a hanging slave
I am reflecting on the struggles faced by my ancestors who were hung for their skin color

How could I forget this
I cannot forget the injustices and inequality that still exist in society today

I rob you put you on my hit list
I am admitting to my past criminal behavior and the harm it caused others

Under my nails are dirty look at the grime
As a result of my past actions, I carry with me the physical and emotional dirt of my past

My burnt lips from the roach clips
I have engaged in drug use and the consequences of that are visible on my body

How can I shine
I struggle to find success and prosperity in life because of my past choices and societal barriers

Being broke and bag a dope b****
I am struggling financially and have resorted to illegal means to make money

Powerful mind we brave men
Despite the challenges and hardships, I and others like me have a resilient and determined mindset

I blow smoke and I'ma keep sayin
I use smoking as a way to cope with my struggles and I will continue to speak out and express myself

I want to be more than that bullet that go through ya zone
I want to have a positive impact on the world instead of being a source of harm

want to be the lead that tear through ya skin and crack bones
I want to be a powerful force for change and justice, not violence and destruction

want to be the heat you feel makin ya moan
I want to bring warmth, joy, and happiness to others through my music and personality

want to be the hospital bed that you lay on
I want to be a source of comfort and healing for those who are struggling or suffering

want to be the god you feel when you pray-on
I want to inspire and uplift others through my music and message, like a spiritual guide or mentor

It's Nashawn the type that get the hyper-con
I am a skilled and talented rapper who can reach and connect with a wide audience

I'm gonna kill something
I am not promoting violence or harm, but instead expressing my hunger and drive for success

Rap cats be real frontin
Many rappers put on a facade or false front for the sake of their image or career

F*** shootin legs
I reject violence and harm as solutions to problems

C*** back put his brains on the pave
I am not promoting violence or harm, but expressing my anger and frustration towards those who cause harm or injustice

N**** how bout that
This is a challenging and confrontational message directed towards those who perpetuate harm or injustice

Close range with the gadge get payed
Again, I am not promoting violence or harm, but emphasizing the seriousness and urgency of my message and struggle

First rapper to shoot off stage
I am confident in my skills as a rapper, and willing to take risks to stand out and make an impact

Turn the front page the next day my life is like a book
My life is full of ups and downs, successes and struggles, and I am willing to be open and honest about it for the sake of my music and message

A twenty four hour song without no hook
My life and the struggles that I and others like me face is an ongoing and continuous story, with no easy solutions or quick fixes

Millennium Thug computer chips up in my slug
I am acknowledging the harsh realities of modern society, and the intersection between technology and violence

Turn quarters when you turn quarters know who to plug
I am familiar with the world of drugs and illegal activities, and I know how to navigate it effectively

Thugs around me outside its grimmy outside
I am surrounded by others who are also struggling and trying to survive in a harsh world full of poverty and violence

Better slide before you get bodied outside
I am warning others of the dangers and risks of being involved in illegal activities and associating with violent or harmful people

I'm a prison cell six by nine
I am describing the dehumanizing and oppressive nature of the American prison system, and how it negatively impacts the lives and mental health of those affected by it

Livin' hell stone wall metal bars for the gods in jail
The prison system is designed to strip individuals of their humanity and God-given rights, and keep them in a constant state of suffering and oppression

My nickname the can, the slammer, the big house
I am acknowledging the harsh realities of prison life, and the slang terms used to describe it

I'm the place many fear cause there's no way out
Prison is a place of fear and despair for many, and the harsh conditions and systemic injustices make it nearly impossible to escape or rehabilitate

I take the sun away put misery instead
Prison is a place of darkness and despair, where hope and happiness are scarce

When you wit me most folks consider you dead
The stigma and isolation of prison make it difficult to maintain relationships and communication with those outside of it

I saw too many inmates fallin apart
The psychological and emotional toll of prison can have devastating effects on individuals who are subjected to it

Call for the gods and let them out when it's dark
Many inmates turn to religion or other sources of spiritual guidance to find hope, comfort, and peace in a dark and oppressive environment

Convicts think they alone but if they listen close
While prison can be a lonely and isolating experience, there is often a sense of solidarity and community among those who share in the struggles and suffering

They can hear me groan touch the wall feel my pulse
The walls and bars of prison are not just physical barriers, but also represent the oppressive and suffocating nature of the system

All the pictures you put up is stuck to my skin
Memories and reminders of a life outside of prison can be both a comfort and a source of pain for those who are incarcerated

I hear ya prayers (even when ya whisperin)
Prisoners often find solace and strength in prayer and faith, and it can be a way to maintain hope and connection to the outside world

I make it hotter in the summer colder in the winter
The conditions of prison are often inhumane, with inadequate heating or cooling and insufficient provisions for basic needs

If the court paroal ya then another con enters
The obstacles and challenges of re-entering society after release from prison are immense, with many returning to criminal activity or being unable to secure useful employment and support

No remorse for your tears I seen em too often
The guards and those who oversee the prison system often lose sight of the humanity and suffering of those they are responsible for, contributing to the culture of violence and oppression that characterizes many prisons

When you cry I make you feel alive inside a coffin
The prison system is designed to strip individuals of their dignity, freedom, and humanity, and to make them feel as if they are already dead or trapped in a living coffin

Watch you when you eat play with you mind when you sleep
Prison life is a constant state of surveillance and control, with little opportunity for privacy, rest, or relaxation

Make you dream that you free then make you wake up to me
The hopelessness and despair of prison is compounded by moments of fleeting hope or happiness, which are inevitably crushed by the oppressive nature of the system

Face to face with a cage no matter your age
Prison is a place of confinement and control, with few opportunities for true freedom or autonomy

I can shatter you turn you into a savage in rage
The psychological and emotional toll of prison can bring out the worst in individuals, turning them into violent or angry people who are difficult to control or rehabilitate

Change ya life that's if you get a chance to get out
The odds of success and rehabilitation after release from prison are slim, but there is always hope and opportunity for growth and change

'Cause only you and I know what sufferings about
Those who have experienced the hardships and traumas of prison life have a unique understanding and perspective that is difficult for others to comprehend or relate to

Yo it's stunning when bed sheets become your woman
The dehumanizing nature of prison life leaves many inmates feeling lonely, isolated, and craving comfort and intimacy

And I'm the one that gotcha weapons when the beef is coming
The oppressive and violent nature of many prisons breeds an atmosphere of distrust and competition, with individuals being forced to rely on their own strength and cunning to survive

Maybe one day I'll open up my arms to release you
Despite the challenges and obstacles of the prison system, there is always hope and possibility for redemption and forgiveness

You'll always be my property n**** stay legal
Even after release from prison, there are still many societal barriers and obstacles that formerly incarcerated individuals must overcome to truly achieve freedom and equality

[Chorus]
This is the chorus of the song, which repeats multiple times throughout and emphasizes the overall message and theme of the song
