[Nas]
See no evil.. fear no evil.. speak no evil.. hear no evil..
If you don't bring that **** around you
You ain't got nuttin to worry about (uh-huh)
Yeah (yeah, uh-huh)
Knah-sayin?
Yo, yo yo yo
Carolyn, from Maryland, she Lady Heroin
She elegant -- her apparel in the M-Class caravan
Ki's of dope, lovin cats to ski in her dope
She **** killers in her condo, her Benz and her boat
Her iced throat, ass is curvy, 40 years old
She passin for 30, Gucci framed glasses from Purvy's
Madison Ave., shoppin when she not, coppin bricks of that ****
She hoppin on dicks, ridin Pony's who trick
At my man's wake, she said the eulogy
After that I usually, bumped into her shoppin for jewerly
Her bodyguard screwin me, I gave her my math
Ain't nothin new to me, blowin backs out, six-pack Stout's
Wide fat mouth, the evil look, with a bow-leg
Yo *****z said, "Shorty's a pro, she blow heads
She push the fo' red, she know Feds, Feds know her"
A code red, maybe she's out to slay me, this ***** is crazy
She blew the celly up, meet me at the telly to ****
She knew about, cats from way back, we smoke the haystack
She never cough once, blunts was her hobby
She said I knew her man probably, no doubt, not since he tried to rob me
I jetted though, sometimes you never know
He snorted all her work, now she need me, to do her dirty work
It's a small world ("It's a.. small world..")
***** you reap what you sew
What goes around, comes around
If you sleep you don't know
A very small world ("It's a.. small world..")
where beef could never end
At the time you least expect it
I'ma see you again
It's a small world ("It's a.. small world..")
You get away with it now
Soon enough it catches up to you
Someway, somehow
Yo it's a small world
Watch what you do.. ("It's a.. small world..")
Snook from Redhook was grimy, did five years, glad to be home
from Attica known, for keepin chrome calibers
Smooth like a Wallaby shoe, he's out to get it
Five years plannin to blow, soon as he hit the bri-dicks
Had a girl in Woodside Queens, thought he was low
Played the crib for a month, and deaded his P.O.
Started robbin *****z til he caught a whole kilo
He had a bunch of starvin *****z he owe, he never paid though
Got large, sign on his door, "Don't knock hard"
Layin with his *****, *****z is rich, is what he told her
Played the block, holdin cracks inside the baby stroller
Here come his crazy soldier, six shots it's over
A year went past, Snook went flossin fast
His old man had crossed his ass, for the laws of this fast cash

It's a small world ("It's a.. small world..")
***** reap what you sew
What goes around, comes around
If you sleep you don't know
A very small world ("It's a.. small world..")
where beef could never end
At the time you least expect it
I'ma see you again *****
It's a small world, no doubt ("It's a.. small world..")
You get away with it now
Soon enough it catches up to you
Someway, somehow
It's a small world
Watch what you do.. ("It's a.. small world..")
I seen death, seen thugs cry, it's bugged why
we let the slugs fly, enter your brain, through your skull
Another thug died, pitchin your soul, into that infinite
black hole, where many souls go cause of a fo'-fo' blast
Snook was one of em, so many more
Even that Fendi whore, got *****z hit up yeah let that Henny pour
Carolyn, paid-up *****, made *****, stay rich
Heard her bodyguard took Snook to God
Carolyn when she needed him, he took the job
He was close to her, ever since she took him inside
When his moms died, dopefiend OD-ed, eighty-five
He went crazy, stuck up banks, to stay alive
He was live - do *****z even know the things that he tried
Robbed armored trucks - incidents where po-lice died
He stayed in lower Eastside, peace God (peace God)
He starin at me hard
Two of his mans with him, I got to hit em
I'm reachin for my Roscoe, cocked it back on, and get my blast on
At the gas station, bunch of Arabs racin
out the way, as my Torah spray, jump in the whip
Hit the highway, you know how I say, the game that I play
It's real tendencies, when you feel your enemies
but can't figure out whose who, keep it true
**** is cool now -- put the tools down? Never
Cause everyday is on, livin this life, out for this cheddar
It's a small world ("It's a.. small world..")
***** you reap what you sew
What goes around, comes around
If you sleep you won't know
A very small world ("It's a.. small world..")
where beef, never ends
At the time you least expect it
I'ma see you again
It's a small world ("It's a.. small world..")
You get away with it now
Soon enough it catches up to you
Someway, somehow
It's a small world
Watch what you do.. ("It's a.. small world..")
("I'm going to see you again..
Uh-huh.. I'm going to see you again.. *****..
Uh-huh.. going to see you again *****.. yeah..")
One of the many classic on I AM... Nas truly is the goat storyteller between this and Undying Love you can't deny the his talent.

He sounds like NORE cuz this was recorded in 98 when he was real tight with Nore durin the time Jungle was managin him. This was an original recording for the double album and surprisingly made it to the single lp version. Still sounds as evil when I first heard. The aura, vibe of this track is crazy. They really set the mood for the song.
Gotta say the imagery, details..... jus like IWW but he switched up the flow and pattern. Technically dont know what its called but that flow was poppin in 97, 98, 99.
Trackmasters with one of their most sinister beats ever next to I Shot Ya n Who Shot Ya. Ngga Poke is a beast on the drum machine. Tone was on some sh*t during that time with all the Italian strings n Spanish guitars. TM were makin cinematic scores for tracks. Lot of producers bit that sound from them especially Puff n Hitmen.
The fact that this song and Undying Love are on the same album is pretty scary. Two of the sickest scripts spit on the mic. Dont forget there was another sick story on Hardest Thing To Do is Stay Alive which was on the bootleg but didnt make the final cut. One of the hardest beats I ever heard and was easily my fav beat off the I AM bootleg. I use to knock that on repeat for days on end. Nggz would hear that beat n say that sh*t is hard.
Prays I AM double disc gets released one day.... Call Steve Stoute he got the catalog.
