(Woke up this mornin’) Yeah
(You got yourself a gun) Yeah, yeah, yeah
(Got yourself a gun)
Yo’ I’m livin’ in this time behind enemy lines

So I got mine, I hope you (Got yourself a gun)
You from the hood, I hope you (Got yourself a gun)
You want beef, hope you (Got yourself a gun)
And when I see you I’mma take what I want
So you try to front, hope you (Got yourself a gun)
You ain’t real, hope you (Got yourself a gun)

My first album had no famous guest appearances
The outcome, I’m crowned the best lyricist
Many years on this professional level
Why would you question who’s better, the world is still mine
Tattoos real, with “God’s Son” across the belly
The boss of rap, you saw me in “Belly” with thoughts like that
To take it back to Africa, I did it with Biggie
Me and 2Pac were soldiers of the same struggle
You lame still huddle, your team’s shook, y’all feel the wrath of a killer
‘Cause this is my football field
Throwin’ passes from a barrel, shoulder pads, apparel
But the QB don’t stand for no quarterback
Every word is like a sawed-off blast
‘Cause y’all now soft and I’m the black hearse that came to haul y’all a** in
It’s for the hood by the corner store
Many try, many die, come at Nas if you want a war
Get it blunted

I got mine, I hope you (Got yourself a gun)
You from the hood, I hope you (Got yourself a gun)
You want beef, hope you (Got yourself a gun)
And when I see you I’mma take what I want
So you try to front, hope you (Got yourself a gun)
You ain’t real, hope you (Got yourself a gun)

Yo’, I’m the N, the A to the S-I-R
And If I wasn’t, I must’ve been Escobar
You know the kid got his chipped tooth fixed
Hair parted with a barber’s preciseness
Bravehearted for life, it’s return of the Golden Child, son of a blues player
So who are you player, y’all awaited the true savior
Puffin’ that tropical, cups of that Vodka too
Papi chu’s tore up, wake up in a hospital
Throw up, never, ‘member I do this through righteous steps
You Judas thought I was gone, so in light of my death
Y’all been all happy go lucky, bunch of samus
Call me God’s Son with my pants low
I don’t die slow, put them rags up like Petey Pablo
This is Nasdaq dough in my Nascar with this Nas flow
Flip the beat that not a soul reppin’
Hit the record store, never let me go, get my whole collection

I got mine, I hope you (Got yourself a gun)
You from the hood, I hope you (Got yourself a gun)
You want beef, hope you (Got yourself a gun)
And when I see you I’mma take what I want
So you try to front, hope you (Got yourself a gun)
You ain’t real, hope you (Got yourself a gun)

It’s the return of the Prince, the boss, this is real hardcore
Kid Rock and Limp Bizkit’s soft
Sip Cris’, get chips, wrist gliss, I floss
Stick shift, look sick up in that boxed up Porsche
With the top cut off, rich kids go and cop The Source
They don’t know about the blocks I’m on
And everybody wanna know where the kid go
Where he rest at, where he shop at and dress at
Know he got dough, where does he live
Is he still in The Bridge
Does he really know how ill that he is
Got all of y’all watchin’ my moves, my watch and my jewels
Hop in my Coupe, dodge interviews like that
It’s not only my jewels, ice anything, plenty chains
Look at my tennis shoes, I iced that
Who am I, the back twister, lingerie ripper
Automatic leg spreader, quicker brain getter
Keepin’ it gangsta wit’ ya

I got mine, I hope you (Got yourself a gun)
You from the hood, I hope you (Got yourself a gun)
You want beef, hope you (Got yourself a gun)
And when I see you I’mma take what I want
So you try to front, hope you (Got yourself a gun)
You ain’t real, hope you (Got yourself a gun)

(Got yourself a gun) Uh

I got mine, I hope you (Got yourself a gun)
You from the hood, I hope you (Got yourself a gun)
You want beef, hope you (Got yourself a gun)
And when I see you I’mma take what I want
So you try to front, hope you (Got yourself a gun)
