[Nas]
The phone rings
Another peaceful moment is lost
Latifah´s chest jingle in Set It Off
I press pause in the bed as a king

I let it ring 4 or 5 times
Answer while I´m puffin´ my green
It´s Tamika sayin´, "Hi Nas"
I caught a flashback of her askin´ me was I asthmatic ´fore I tapped that
She offered me dinner under the moon
I said, "Sorry I made plans at Ray´s Boom-Boom Room"
Nine push-ups, strength´s gone at the tenth one so why hook up
The pimp´s gone off the Patron Tequila
Put on my Lee´s and the original Filas
Sedated from L´s, 380 cocked, naked ladies laid up in tels
Like Whodini I chose, gazelles don´t lean on my nose
Drivin´ by the clubs gleamin´ and go
Heads turn it´s a freak show

I need them to know, when will they learn
Nas need a queen not a ho to
Point out my enemies, a girl who´s into me
But not a hype chick, someone with proper energy
Someone who´s into me but won´t fuck with my enemies
And you can sing along ´cause I´m feelin´ ya energy

[Claudette Ortiz]
Hey Nas, how ya doin´?
Take my name, and my number
Meanwhile, we´ll be groovin´
But let´s take, it, slow

[Nas]
One for the honies who roll blunts up but don´t smoke

Two for the few who see potential in you when you broke
Three for the G they got, they game is hot I give it to you
Double life wife, play with the man that´s livin´ with you
Here´s the issue, a woman gotta be stunnin´
Get to a man´s heart through his stomach
You gotta be skilled in the culinary arts
Know a brother stay mad hungry when he spark
Hit the museum, maybe Central Park, you mentally smart
Picture we in Tiffany, you becomin´ my counterpart
If I want Chinese then you buy me a wok
If you want barbecue I call Professor and Ak
´Cause you point out my enemies, someone who´s into me

But not a hyper chick- someone with the proper energy
A girl that´s into me who won´t fuck all my enemies
And you could be the one ´cause I´m lovin´ ya energy

[Kelis]
Hey Nas, how ya doin´?
Take my name, and my number
Meanwhile, we´ll be groovin´
But let´s take, it, slow

[Nas]
Slow is the way
Holdin´ hands, tongue and hickeys
Hope and I pray where I run at you run away with me

That´s if my gun get busy we gotta get outta there
Hear sirens jump in the stick drop a Sedan and hide for years
Like no one else in the world did this except for us two
You gotta trust me, I gotta trust you
If coppers bust me it´s me you rescue, this to the death boo
You rep me respectfully that´s how I rep for you
Retired from pimpin´, perspire is drenchin´
As we suck and fuck each other´s minds out commission
Time´s out forbidden
Until we pass out, that´s when we stop
We give it all we got, give it all we got- we hot
Give it all we got, give it all we got- we rock
Give it all we got, give it all we got

You ´bout the baddest thing
Since Michael had Billie Jean
And Prince gave you diamond´s and pearls
But to be my queen you must...
Point out my enemies, a girl who´s into me
But not a hype chick, someone with proper energy
Someone who´s into me who won´t fuck all my enemies
And you can be the one ´cause I´m feelin´ ya energy

[Claudette Ortiz & Kelis]
Hey Nas, how ya doin´?
Take my name, and my number
Meanwhile, we´ll be groovin´
But let´s take, it, slow

I can be, what you said
That you need, I can be, all that
I can be, I can have your back, baby
I can be, what you said
That you need, I can be, all that
I can be, I can have your back, baby
