Don't Shoot (Clean) - Nas
Composed by：Nasir Jones/Chauncey Hollis Jr
Give me some give me some
Uh
Give me some
Uh
Give me some give me some give me some
Don't shoot
Give me some give me some give me some give me some
Don't shoot gangsters
Don't shoot gangsters
Don't shoot gangsters
Don't shoot gangsters
Don't shoot
Give me some
Don't shoot gangster
Don't shoot gangsters
You are him
You are him
And he is you
And he is you
Give me some
Don't kill the messenger
Am I snitching when the police commissioner my friend
Am I a player when me and the mayor hang and tap in
Just a grown man tryna see how to change the community
'Cause all I see if mama's crying reading eulogies
Thinking 'bout everything her baby could've grew to be
Speaking unity for years but face scrutiny
He weird one day Esco be rapping 'bout shootin' me
Next day he say And I can he been confusin' me
Don't wet that
I advise you to mind I don't just rap
Look around every town like a deathtrap
Out his mind put a nine to his neck tat
And it went plat-plat now we set back
And I'm scratchin' my head under my Mets cap
With the new Klan but wearin' jet black
I don't know how much I can stress that where the checks at
Don't shoot gangsters
Don't shoot gangsters
Don't shoot
Give me some
Don't shoot gangster
You are him and he is you
Don't kill the messenger
Give me some
Pop pop a bottle in my Nautica
Bill Russell jersey solid and sturdy Stevie's harmonica
In my head
With a Wilhelmina model tucked
The Benz is red blue one that's Javi's ****
It's obvious these
Emotional rollercoaster a*s n***as please
And most of these guys are supposed to have male tendencies
I endlessly speak vengeance on MP3's
Percocet addiction that could be your E-N-D
Your mindset is your vaccine for every disease
Illness affliction sneeze
The pollen has got in your body's diaphragm
Chest eye exam
The disease king's get we see it like a MRI scan
I show you how to move when these dudes be lyin' in coupes
Flyin' the suits fire the crew full of riders loophole finders
Don't kill the messenger
Shorty don't shoot
The messenger
Look in the mirror
You got a big life ahead of you
You are your own cure for your King's Disease
You gotta look inside to cure that
You got all the answers
Imagine no man shot for the next ten years
No man killed for the next thirty years
Think about how much we will attain
And no I do not really know the police commissioner
But **** I'll talk to anybody about saving lives
