Small World
Nas Ft Scarface Lyrics

See no evil, fear no evil, speak no evil, hear no evil,
If you don't want trouble, don't involve yourself with trouble.

If you don't bring that shit around you
Avoid attracting trouble by keeping away from illicit activities.

You ain't got nothing to worry about (uh-huh)
If you stay away from trouble, you don't have to worry about anything.

Carolyn, from Maryland, she Lady Heroin
Carolyn, the drug dealer lady from Maryland.

She elegant, her apparel in the M-Class caravan
She has expensive taste, with expensive clothing and an M-Class caravan.

Ki's of dope, loving cats to ski in her dope
She sold kilos of drugs and loved partying with drug addicts.

She fuck killers in her condo, her Benz and her boat
She sleeps with killers and enjoys her extravagant lifestyle.

Her iced throat, ass is curvy, 40 years old
She's forty and still has an expensive sense of fashion.

She passing for 30, Gucci framed glasses from Purvy's
Although she's forty years old, she still looks and dresses like a young adult.

Madison Ave., shopping when she not, copping bricks of that shit
She does her everyday shopping on Madison Ave and, in the meantime, also sells cocaine.

She hopping on dicks, riding Pony's who trick
She sleeps with wealthy men and enjoys their extravagant lifestyle.

At my man's wake, she said the eulogy
Carolyn spoke in honor of a deceased old friend at the wake.

After that I usually, bumped into her shopping for jewelry
After the funeral, Nas usually bumped into Carolyn while shopping.

Her bodyguard screwing me, I gave her my math
Carolyn's bodyguard flirted with Nas and received his contact information furtively.

Ain't nothing new to me, blowing backs out, six-pack Stout's
Having sex and drinking beer is a normal and common lifestyle for Nas.

Wide fat mouth, the evil look, with a bow-leg
Carolyn has a wide mouth and an evil demeanor.

Yo niggas said, "Shorty's a pro, she blow heads
People have rumored that Carolyn is an expert in giving oral sex.

She push the fo' red, she know Feds, Feds know her"
Carolyn drives and owns a Ford Mustang and is familiar with the FBI.

A code red, maybe she's out to slay me, this bitch is crazy
Nas is aware that Carolyn could be plotting something against him, and she might be crazy enough to do so.

She blew the celly up, meet me at the telly to fuck
She called Nas repeatedly, urging him to have sex with her.

She knew about, cats from way back, we smoke the haystack
Carolyn knew Nas and his friends from way back when smoking marijuana was their habit.

She never cough once, blunts was her hobby
Carolyn could smoke marijuana without coughing because she was an expert.

She said I knew her man probably, no doubt, not since he tried to rob me
Nas had met Carolyn's man in the past when he tried to rob him.

I jetted though, sometimes you never know
Nas eventually left the scene and realized that it's sometimes better to stay away from the past.

He snorted all her work, now she need me, to do her dirty work
Carolyn's man snorted all her drugs and now wants Nas to help her.

Someway, somehow
One way or another
