Blunt Ashes



Nas - Blunt Ashes - Текст песни

[Intro (Nas):] 
Yo, I wonder if Langston Hughes and Alex Haley 
got blazed before they told stories 
I'm get blazed before I tell y'all stories 
I saw on TV today, this man lost his son, his son died 
So he had him cremated, took his ashes, and then made it to a Diamond ring 
Now he watches his son shine everyday 
I just thought about that, while I sit here ashing in this ash tray, yeah 

[Verse 1 (Nas):] 
The makin' of a mad band 
Intricate stories of DeVante Swing 
Ava Gardner, the crashin' of James Dean 
Bobby Brown influenced by Rick James and it goes.. 
Prince wanted Alexander O'Neal to be Morris Day or Jerome 
But Alex was puttin' coke in his nose, nigga whylin' 
Could be a myth but I swear that the source was close, Phyllis Hyman 
Killed herself, it was crazy, mommy was bad they say 
Donny Hathaway freefall from a balcony, he swings 

[Hook (Nas):] 
As the blunt ash falls into the ash tray 
I could see my whole life fly past me 
Did I... did I keep it gangsta or keep it classy? 
And will the money and fame out last me? 
The blunt's ash falls down in the ash tray 
Will I see my whole life fly past me? 
I'm askin' did I keep it gangsta or keep it classy? 
Did I?.. Anything else you wanna know, just wanna ask me? 

[Verse 2 (Nas):] 
Sam trusted Womack with his main lady 
He tossin' in the grave, like, "This is how you repay me?" 
A change gon' come, wish you didn't trust me so much 
Marvin said "No mountain's high enough, fly stuff" 
David Ruffin was punchin' Tammy Terrell, gave her concussions 
While the Funk Brothers was layin' down the percussion 
When Flo from the Surpremes died, Diana Ross cried 
Many people said that she was laughin' inside 

[Hook (Nas)] 

[Verse 3 (Nas):] 
John F. Kennedy's, enemies dealt with treachery 
It interests me, Judy Campbell in Gucci sandals 
She's what a temptress be 
The death of Ennis Cosby, what a mystery 
Or the Chicagoan Harold Washington 
Someone is sabotaging them 
Watch out for the traps 
Larry Troutman killed his brother Roger Troutman 
Then he killed himself, that's the end of Zapp 
And I wouldn't change a thing, mistakes of the greats 
This is what came from their pain 
From their hurt we gain, an unfair exchange 

[Hook (Nas)] 

[Outro (Nas, over the hook):] 
I could smell old bogey cigars 
Long record perfumes, smellin' just as sweet, ha-ha 
Me and my wife K, flyin' in a drop-top like Ruby and Ottis Davis baby 
Knaw'mean? Yo, man. I get smoked out, and start thinkin' about 
Patty McDaniels got a Oscar, for playin' Mami in 'Gone With The Wind' 
And she didn't get allowed, wasn't even allowed to go to the premier 
Could'ya'believe that? Couldn't go to premier to her joint 
Tssk. Man, you know they were strong back then man 
Blunt from my ash tray, nothin' gon' to live past me, yeah, yeah, yeah
