I heard he was hiding somewhere I can't see

I want someone who like the champagne I like My a-alike, someone to talk me off the bridge any day or night

She teach me how to live, she ain't afraid of life Not easily impressed with the rich and famous life

Cause she done been there and heard all the rumors before She love or she ride out with me on my music tour
Nas wants a woman who has experienced life and knows how to handle rumors. He wants someone who can accompany him on his music tours.

For real, the world so ill, yo I want a girl so real Who not after material wealth, but get dough still
Nas wants someone who's genuine and down-to-earth. He wants a woman who's not after material wealth but has money to take care of herself.

As long as there's no selfishness Yes, as long as her love for the people is deep rooted and evident
Nas wants someone who's neither selfish nor materialistic, but has love for people rooted deep in their soul.

Your smile put me at ease You're the woman I need, but where is she

I hate when people write me hostile texts On account of my lifestyle's perception

Invade my personal life? Out of the question, what are they expecting I be trying to reply and they never suppose I get my quiet time in

They think forever I'm rolling in dough, swimming in a pool of cash God, wouldn't they know, or am I a fool or ass

It's so intense, I'm on my Lilo and Stitch Pour my Pino Grigio and Cris with some lime what is this?

An immaculate version of Me and My Bitch by Biggie With all respect cause you the only one that gets me

Yeah, yeah, let's pour some cherry wine Everything's good, everything's fine Yeah, yeah we bring it every time Yeah, pour a little cherry wine

Life is good, life is good, yeah Life is good, no matter what Life is good, life is good Life is good, yeah Life is good No matter what
