Wave Gods
Nas Lyrics

Hold up, and analyze
Pause for a moment and examine what's going on

Come on, get on, get some
Join in and participate in what's happening

Listen close as I prove my point
Pay close attention as I demonstrate my argument

(We do our thing, son) yeah
We excel at what we do and have confidence in that

No comparison, we more solid than they are (uh)
We're superior to them and more fundamentally sound

Me and Hit-Boy, they say we like the new Gang Starr (uh)
People compare us to the legendary rap duo Gang Starr

Me and Flacko, they say we the new wave gods
People consider us trailblazers and icons in the new generation of hip-hop

Shout to Max B, he could be home any day, God (yeah)
A shoutout to Max B who may soon be released from prison

Wake up out the bed, scruffy, sparkin' my J
Starting the day with a joint while still looking rough

Shine my nickel-plated, then I'm startin' my day
Cleaning and polishing my gun before beginning my day

My old lady called me, "Baby," told her, "Pardon my age"
My significant other called me a endearing term but I apologized for my age

Twelve shells in the gauge like a carton of eggs
The shotgun has a capacity for 12 rounds, like a carton of eggs

We goin' home like Eric Cartman, chromosomes on my conscience
Leaving with confidence like the South Park character Eric Cartman, while still aware of my own morality

Hear some niggas talkin' nonsese, call up Nasty Nastradamus
When hearing foolish talk, I call on Nas, who is known for his insightful lyrics

Rock the pearls and diamonds, break the promise, break her wallets
Wearing expensive jewelry and making women spend their money

Break her heart and break her pockets, takin' notes like guidance counselors
Taking advantage of women emotionally and financially, like a guidance counselor would take notes

Aristocrat like a chancellor, the answer to the, uh, panhandlers
Refined and sophisticated, like a chancellor of a university, and a solution for those in need on the streets

The corners with the mans is up, the jig is up, the scams is up
The people on the street corners are aware of the situation, the deception is exposed, and the schemes are finished

Yeah, they hands is up, lookin' in the crowd, yeah
Their hands are raised and they're looking at the surrounding people

Tryin' to invest to all my Gs before we rest in peace
Trying to invest in all my friends before we pass away

Before we rest in peace, the rest is set
Once we pass away, everything is settled

The record's set as soon as I release
The success of my work is determined as soon as I release it

The room is streets, I roam the streets with no security
The streets are my domain and I move through them without any protection

They know a nigga overseas, uh
People are aware of me even in other countries

Kinda swag that's passed from your mom and dad
Having a sense of style that is inherited from your parents

Prada bags and we cheesin' on them Calvin ads (yeah, yeah)
Carrying expensive purses and smiling in Calvin Klein advertisements

Might've peeped the billboards fifty feet when out in traffic (yeah, yeah)
Noticing advertisements while driving by them at high speeds

Starin' at a nigga's pictures, shit, you bound to crash (uh, yeah, yeah)
Looking at another person's photos can be distracting and dangerous while driving

A$AP Mob got Mass Appeal
The A$AP Mob is admired and popular with the masses

Tell Hit we got a hit, ayy, ayy
Let Hit-Boy know we have a successful song

Call up Nasty Nas, niggas hit the lick like ah, ah, ah
Get Nas involved and watch us make a lot of money
