Текст (слова) песни: Nas - Some Of Us Have Angels

 
[Chorus: Nas (repeat 2X)] 
 
Some of us have angels -- the kingdom, the power 
Some of us have angels -- the power, the glory 
Some of us have demons -- greed, and lust 
Some of us have demons -- lust, temptation 
 
[Nas] 
Now this is you, dressed in all black, fatigue hat, ready for combat 
A good nigga, you don`t leave tracks 
A hood nigga wantin G-stacks, do what you gotta do to get that 
You feel you need that, where the jooks at? 
These are your niggaz, creepin they be leavin niggaz sleep witchu 
Loc` style, quiet no smile, it`s the official 
Sometime they grimy, speakin on they own people 
They snake you if they have to, raised tattoos 
Now these are your bitches, phonin lonely homey chickens 
All the homies stick em, you think you own em man listen 
She stab you in your sleep with a knife from out the kitchen 
Put a root on you, next week they find you missin 
Dead in your Expedition in the forest, fell off the cliff and 
tumbled til you blew up, Feds told her and she threw up 
Fake bitches, actresses, wicked witch practices 
Two sides of us, negative or positive 
 
[Chorus] 
 
[Nas] 
Now this is your mom, your good luck charm 
Pushin you to do no wrong, prayin for you that you live long 
Nobody kill my baby, but she know her baby crazy 
In and out of jail, mom`s screamin, "God take me!" 
This is your pop, chip off the old block that made him 
The man of the house, mom and pops seperatin 
Spittin image of a gangster the way pop walked 
the way pop talked, got older and you thanked him now 
This is your hood, poor folks drugs and robberies 
Turnin into the things moms wanted you not to be 
Crime followin the wrong dudes who have no values 
Life`s cheap as the dime in the minds of those around you 
This is the test, the stress, the conflict the ups and downs of 
niggaz around you make threats 
They tell you keep it gangster, no matter the predicament 
Even though your decision won`t help you benefit 
 
[Chorus] 
 
[Nas] 
Now once again this is you, entertainin your desires 
Bitches money and guns, aimin and you fire 
Everyday is grief, if it ain`t beef, it`s feedin your seed 
Tryin to eat? You form material needs 
The weed make your brain sizzle, a pistol make it cool off 
by stickin up niggaz, make them take they jewels off 
His reputation is, bigger than his whole life span 
He never planned to fail, he just failed to plan 
What does it take to realize, Satan`s alive, he whispers 
And any chance he get, he can take niggaz 
He comes in all shapes and sizes, his best disguise is 
when he stand beside us, but God is inside us, within me 
You are your worst enemy - my mom`s words echo in my head 
And if I let go I`m dead 
He stepped at my door, the ? motivate my spirit 
And now the body experience, so now I feel it 
Lookin at my blessings, the bullets - that missed me coulda hit me 
Them court cases coulda put me in the penitentiary 
I never hate, that`s just wasted energy 
The past is gone, the present`s a gift, so what`s the mystery? 
The future - and time only reveals, what fear is 
False expectations, appearin real 
We only human, love thy neighbor, so I was told 
and I will til permanently, my eyes are closed 
 
[Chorus]
