Video y letra de 2nd Childhood de NAS

Tal vez hayan escuchado la cancion 2nd Childhood. Fue y ha sido interpretada por NAS. La verdad, no es una cancion que digamos novedosa, pero vale la pena tenerla.

2nd Childhood formo parte del exitoso disco Stillmatic. Gracias a YouTube por el video, por cierto. Falta agradecer a You Tube por el video musical.

[Nas] Yeah, hahaha

"Cause when I flow the fo r the street.." – ".. who else could it be"
"Nas.."

Yo
Explode, my thoughts were drunken from quarts of beers
Was years back, befo re Nasir would explo re a career i n rap
As a music dude, I mastered thi s Rubik's Cube
Godzilla, fought Gargantua, eyes glued t o the tube
Was a, long time ago, John Boy Ice
Geronimo po-lice jumpi n out Chryslers, easywider paper
Pops puffi n hi s sess, punchi n hi s chest l ike a go rilla
Outside was psychoes, killers
Saw Divi ne, Goon a nd Chungo, Lil' Turkey
R.I.P. Tyrone, 'member no cursi n front of Ms. Vercey
Big Percy, Crazy Paul, the Sledge Si sters
My buildi ng was 40-16, once i n the blue, hallways was clean
I knew, all that I'd seen had meant somethi n
Learned early, t o fear none little Nas was hunti n
Livi n carefree laughi n, got jokes on the daily
Y'all acti n l ike some old folks y'all don't hear me
Yo I am i n my second childhood

[Cho rus: repeat 2X]

Yo, dude i s 31, livi n i n hi s moms crib
Ex-convict, was paroled there after hi s long bid
Co rnrows i n hi s hair, still sli ngi n, got a crew
They break hi s moms furniture, watchi n Comicview
Got babies by di fferent ladies high smoki n L's
i n the same spot he st ood si nce, eighty-five well
When hi s stash slow, he be crazy
Say he by hi s moms, hit her on her payday
Junio r high school dropout, teachers never cared
They was paid just t o show up a nd leave, no one succeeds
So he moves with hi s peers, di fferent blocks, di fferent years
Sitti n on, di fferent benches l ike it's musical chairs
All hi s peoples moved on i n li fe, he's on the co rners at night
with young dudes it's them he wanna be l ike
It's sad but it's fun t o him right? He never grew up
31 a nd can't give hi s youth, he's i n hi s second childhood

Baby girl she's always talki n name droppi n hangi n late
Dri nki n smoki n hates her baby daddy, craves shoppi n
E poppi n Ecstasy taki n, won't fi ni sh her education
Best friend she keeps changi n, stuck with limitations
Lusti n men, many hotels, Fendi Chanel
With n othi n i n her bank account fronti n she do well
Her kid suffers he don't get that love he deserve
He the Sun, she the Earth, si ngle mom, even wo rse
No job never stay wo rki n, mad purty
Sho rty they call her the brai n surgeon
Time flyi n she the same person, never matures
All her friends married doi n well
She's i n the streets yakkety yakki n l ike she was 12
Honey i s twenty-seven, argues fights
Selfi sh i n her own right, polite, guess she's i n her second childhood
