Nas
Reading Road
[Part One]

[Verse 1]
They say leave the bank, I take the safe with me
I'm a fucking virus, it ain't safe to get me
Rolling bobby, still hitting Whitney
All my n***as still getting with me
I'm gone
Stop and drop and roll
Make a n***a pay a toll if he entering my zone
I'm home
ET my n***a
I'll feed my n***as or we all starve
I'm the biggest dog, i do more than bark
Feeling brave, come meet the sharks
They'll eat ya heart like a AllSpark
You alright, but we all dark
No West Coast, see the Xzibit
You want a taste, come and get with it
She give me brain like I'm dimwitted
But really am I dimwitted
Hieroglyphics in my brain, think I'm going insane
Ain't the same when I rain on these hoes
Got a bottle of rose
Well let me make a toast, other n***as ain't close
Let me boast on the track
Swear they ain't coming back
Man I hate this flow, but I do it so well
As you can tell, I'm a fucking beast
No really I'm a fucking beast
[Part Two]

[Verse 2]
I'm the man forever
They wanna take me outta style and I'm like man whatever
I know in time these haters gonna have to stand the weather
But I'm just me, I say it true like it has been a pleasure
You had a, feeling of feeling inferior
Cause ain't nobody feeling ya
Till ya girlfriend started defending ya
Man it's, fucking crazy how they treating me now
They eating me out
Like I'm a bitch
Pause...
Think I'm finna quit
I, wish they understood the way that I feel
Ain't kenen and kel
Ain't all that
Wait a minute, let me fall back
Back into the comfort zone
Been awhile since I been gone
Feeling safe when I'm at home
I like it when my mind is blown
Puff the vape cause I hate dealing with ashes
They say do you still rap, and I'm like why are you asking
This shit is a passion
As real as you laughing
Man when will this happen
I'm flashing back through memories to see if it's worth saving these
[Verse 3]
Hip hop has started going criss cross
When you got a Rick Ross always yelling out boss
But I ain't hating though
I'm somewhere waiting though
If they don't give me a chance, I swear that imma take it hoe
Gotta fall back again
I'm getting too tense
Reading Road, made Paris Morton for that Lexi chick
Then made a sequel so you know I had to mention it
And if I get to fame, a n***a know I hope I get it quick
Getting rich was never part of the dream
I just wanted big stages like the artist I'd seen
U S H E R
Don't know he sparked up a teen
To turn to music so one day he'd be the one on the screen
So far it seems, I gotta be a white girl to pop on the scene
It makes me fucking scream inside
I mean, what more do I need
I need a big black box
Just to gather my thoughts
So I can trap those mother fuckers and just plot out my takeover
Need a makeover
My bars could even shake HOVA
I told ya that
Change the H to J cause everybody knows a Joe that raps
But those guys are average
I'm feeling savage
I'm picking up a new habit
Think I'm becoming an addict
Just a product of my past
But cannot see the future so whenever time has passed
I'll be real enlightened to meet ya
Speaking to my present self
Feeling like a Roosevelt
Place my soul on an empty shelf
[Outro](x2)
Got a feeling this is third eye shit
In my mind I shit
You not
I'm telling you
There's always been a problem
But I been there to solve em
The hieroglyphics in my third eye shit
