Banned From TV
N.O.R.E. Lyrics

Banned from tv
A song that has been deemed inappropriate for television

Moving
Progressing forward

Coming soon
Will be released in the near future

Shut the fuck up
Please be quiet

Tryna watch this movie
Attempting to focus on the film

Yo, Jungle
Hey, Jungle

'98, it's ours
In 1998, we have ownership or control

Ay yo, ay yo
Listen up, listen up

Regardless of rain or snow, sleet or hail
No matter the harsh conditions

I kick street tales choking niggas like I'm Sprewell
I deliver gritty stories that captivate listeners with the intensity of Latrell Sprewell's basketball moves

Golden state, holding your fate in the palm of my hand
I have control over your destiny, like a powerful figure in the golden state

Blow you away like it's part of the plan
I will defeat or destroy you effortlessly, as if it was premeditated

I gotta call it like I see it talk it like I be it
I speak the truth and live up to my words

Walkin' my walk, Thugged Out, orthopedic
I confidently live my life according to my principles as a member of the Thugged Out crew

'Cause I'm soon to be up, give me room watch me heat up
I am on the rise and gaining success, so make way for my inevitable rise to the top

Niggas try to stick me like Abner Louima, follow the leader
Individuals attempt to harm me like Abner Louima, but they are simply followers

Make me go extra hard, yo N.O.R.E, should I hold back or show the repertoire?
Should I restrain myself or unleash my full range of skills and abilities?

Quit at 16 or throw in extra bars just for the non-believers
Should I stop at a basic level or exceed expectations to prove doubters wrong?

I show them why it's so hard to reach us
I demonstrate the level of difficulty in attaining our level of success

I get pussy with my fathers features
I attract sexual partners due to my resemblance to my father

Puff heavenly, see me at 6"1, weigh a buck 70
I smoke marijuana excessively, observe me - tall at 6'1" and weighing 170 pounds

Catch me in spots y'all niggas never be
Find me in exclusive locations you could never reach

Packed in like Green Bay
Crowded together tightly, like a stadium in Green Bay

Harlem Week to Queens Day
From the festivities in Harlem to the celebrations in Queens

Performing acapella, no dj
Delivering a live performance without a DJ

'98 live, no replays
Live and in the moment, no second chances

Make it seem easy, so tell a friend to tell a friend
I make it appear effortless, so spread the word to others

That its them again, Nature, Noreaga, wild gremlins (yo, yo, yo)
Let everyone know that we, Nature and Noreaga, are back - untamed and mischievous

Champagne on the rocks
Enjoying champagne served over ice

Sporting a Fort Knox Lazarus
Wearing a piece of jewelry with the value and strength of Fort Knox, a place known for its gold reserves

Shark salad with cabbage
Indulging in a meal that includes shark meat and cabbage

Pork chops and applesauce
Eating a dish consisting of pork chops accompanied by applesauce

Twin connection, disrespect watch your body cave in
The bond between twins is strong, and if you disrespect us, you will face severe consequences

Pump the shotty gaugin', hit the shorty while he potty training
Utilizing a shotgun, I shoot a young individual who is still learning to use the toilet

I ain't playing, I'm truly the worst
I am not joking, I am genuinely the most dangerous

Simply the first to get his whole body fully reversed
I will cause extreme harm resulting in a complete physical transformation

Uzi it hurts, leave you double dead
Using an Uzi submachine gun, I inflict great pain and leave you dead twice

I'm a bubble-head, I never listen to nothing my mother said
I have a reckless nature and never heed my mother's advice

Ay yo, I hold niggas ransom for money like Johnny Handsome
I demand large sums of money from individuals, just like Johnny Handsome, a fictional character known for his criminal activities

Been sonnin' niggas for so long I think I got a grandson
I have dominated and outperformed others for such a long time that it feels like I have a grandson, a generational gap

My passion is money, a stash and a honey
I am driven by wealth and the pursuit of a hidden stash of money, as well as attractive romantic partners

That won't ask questions but will blast anybody
I seek relationships with individuals who won't inquire but are willing to use force against anyone if necessary

That's my kind of girl, kinda of world I want to live in
I desire a partner who aligns with my values and a world where my preferences are the norm

Not a cell or a prison or in hell's Armageddon
I envision a life free from confinement, both physically and spiritually

Just a little ghetto
A small community plagued by poverty and crime

Where my niggas control the middle
A place where my comrades have power and influence over their surroundings

We know the riddles of life where others know only a little (yo, yo)
We possess deep knowledge and understanding of life's complexities, unlike others who have limited awareness

Been in rich places, sick places
I have experienced luxurious and unhealthy environments

Seen my story on six thousand six hundred and sixty six pages
My life story has been documented extensively, spanning over 6,666 pages - a number often associated with evil or the devil

Wages, I wrote six aces
I earned significant sums of money, symbolized by six aces in a deck of cards

And at the same dice games, I caught six cases, all over big faces
While participating in gambling activities, I got involved in six legal cases, all related to large sums of money

Now it's tipped lasers, ready to dig faces
Currently, I possess firearms with laser sights, prepared to harm others

But the Bing it ain't a bit spacious
However, the Bing (a reference to a location) is cramped and lacks sufficient room

Niggas building up they rib cages, cats like to rip places
Individuals are becoming more physically strong, while simultaneously causing destruction in certain areas

Bloody lip tasters, but Cam is a big racist
There are individuals who engage in violent altercations, causing injuries to the lips, while simultaneously criticizing Cam for his discriminatory beliefs

But I stay in important, big places
Despite the challenges, I continue to exist in influential and prestigious locations

But the world know the girl though I fuck her off a furlough
Although the world is familiar with her, I maintain a sexual relationship with her during her temporary release from prison

She'll be up, hook me up, all your sales could be luck
When she is released, she will provide me with connections that could result in financial success

Only question for these ducks is baby girl could we fuck ?
The only thing these clueless people want to know is if they can have a sexual encounter with the woman

You the type that need a wife
You are the kind of person who desires a committed relationship

Thought L-O-X told y'all the key to life
The L-O-X (a rap group) previously communicated the essential principles for a successful life

Asshole, yo I don't play around, I lay it down
I am straightforward and assertive, not one to engage in games or delays

Fuck around, I spray around
If people mess with me, I will retaliate and cause chaos

Flick a biscuit, nigga risk it
I pull out a firearm and discharge it, risking the consequences

My ass, you can kick or kiss it (yo)
You can either disrespect me or show your admiration

Ain't no niggas in the world more thorough than this
There is no one more diligent and complete than us

(Bust off) and sit the hot barrel dead on your lips
Shoot and place a hot gun barrel directly on your mouth

Like 2 thirds of a brick (Penaro and Kiss)
Similar to dividing a brick of drugs, I am partnering with Penaro and Kiss

The crystal white fluffy part in the back of a whip
Referring to a car, the white cocaine hidden in the rear

See the plan is to stash all, and cash y'all
The strategy is to secure and accumulate wealth, making you all irrelevant

The weed so strong, they gotta put it glass jars
The marijuana is of such high quality that it is stored in glass jars

Niggas try to smoke me out, mope me out
People attempt to undermine me and bring me down emotionally

'Cause the rims on my new joint be poking out
The rims on my recently acquired vehicle are noticeably protruding

I'm about to have no feelings
I am reaching a point where I am emotionally detached

Shit is deep, do they dance with the devil when they sleep
Life is profound, do individuals engage in morally questionable actions while they are unconscious

I wake up gripping the air, wishing the hit
Upon waking, I find myself clenching my fists, yearning for success

Shit that they kick in ya ear, when your soul be drift in the air
The information and ideas they present to you when you are lost in thought or daydreaming

My gift is half-rotten when I spit it tears
When I share my talent, it is a bittersweet experience, often causing emotional reactions

That shit'll drop down my eye, I'm too tired to cry
Tears may well up in my eyes, but I am too exhausted to shed them

And I ain't never seen a nigga that's too live to die
I have never encountered someone who is invincible and cannot be killed

They say you get what you ask for, so get it 'cause you asked for it
It is believed that you receive what you desire, so go ahead and obtain it since you requested it

If a nigga ain't a thief, then he better have the cash for it
If an individual is not involved in criminal activities, they must possess enough money to compensate for it

And we gonna be around 'til ya body rot
We will remain present until your physical body decays

And if the feds bring us in we get the same time Gotti got
If law enforcement apprehends us, we will face a similar sentence to what Gotti, a notable figure in organized crime, received

There's two ways into the hood, one plane
There are two methods of entering the neighborhood - an airplane or by consuming drugs

The other smoke chronic like straight to the brain
The alternative is to smoke marijuana, which has an immediate effect on the mind

Ay yo lets get loose, Hennessey straight, with tomato juice
Let's relax and enjoy ourselves, drinking straight Hennessey mixed with tomato juice

Queens stallion, my guns from the Italian
I am a strong figure from Queens, and my firearms are of Italian origin

Now y'all niggas recognize medallions
Now you all understand and appreciate the value of our medallions

I play the best hood, O.T with Tim Westwood
I dominate the most respected neighborhood, venturing outside to collaborate with Tim Westwood

Used to be on Section 8, now my section is good
I was once dependent on government assistance, but now I have improved my living conditions

Thugged Out niggas, we eat as much as we could
Members of the Thugged Out crew indulge in everything available to us

And I don't give a fuck (what!) Yo I save my shit
I do not care about others' opinions, fiercely protecting my own interests

You can save your shit
You can keep your opinions to yourself

Y'all niggas like extra skin on my dick
You are insignificant and insignificant, similar to the excess skin on my penis

Listen to Bob Marley, you funny niggas like Steve Harvey
You are amusing individuals, comparable to Steve Harvey, while I prefer listening to Bob Marley

Frontin' live with a weak army
Pretending to be superior but actually having a feeble group of supporters

I play the nice guy too, I'll smoke with you
I can also behave like a kind and agreeable person, even sharing a smoke with you

But the realness, I ain't got no love for you
However, when it comes to sincerity, I have no affection or regard for you

That's why I'll never do a song with you
This is the reason I will never collaborate on a song with you

Not even if your baby moms fucked the crew
Even if the mother of your child had sexual relations with my crew

And promised to give us head and swallow too
And even offered to perform oral sex and swallow semen

I still say no, no is no, no can do
Nevertheless, I decline the offer, as the answer is still no, and it cannot be done

Ya niggas drinking Haterade, drinkin' my flow
You are consumed by jealousy and hate, while I am the source of inspiration

Yo, Thugged Out, thug shit, right here mothafucker (real mothafuckin' shit right here)
This is Thugged Out, authentic and hardcore material right here

Thug shit, what? (mothafuckin' thug shit right here)
Hardcore and gritty content, understand?

What the fuck is the deal? What the fuck is the deal?
What is happening? What is going on?

What the fuck is the deal? What? What? What?
What is happening? What? What? What?

Fuckin', Thugged Out Entertainment (Thugged Out Entertainment)
Thugged Out Entertainment, pure and simple

Untertainment (Untertainment)
Anarchy and chaos

Fuckin', L-O-X, Ruff Ryders (L-O-X, Ruff Ryders)
The L-O-X and Ruff Ryders, the epitome of toughness and strength

What? (What? What? What?)
I am emphasizing the gravity of the situation

Terror Squad (Terror Squad)
The Terror Squad, a force to be reckoned with

This shit is fucking official right here
This is completely and unquestionably authentic
