Once a Man, Twice a Child (Clean) - Nas
Composed by：Nasir Jones/Chauncey Hollis Jr
If you lucky you get old
Oldtimer told me
Yeah
You ain't gon' be able to **** the same
Drink the same
Hang out the same
I'm like
Once a man twice a child
Yeah
Once a man twice a child
It's like a baby again
Strong ************ when you're young
I ducked a razor ducked some punches even ducked a gun Nintendo Duck Hunt
I ducked police I had to run
Meanwhile when you get old you might become futile
My old style is a rough of my new style
My old girl d**e but I love my new girl
So when I'ma slow down this merry go round
Called life
I was a youngster with a fever Moms brought cold ice
And I was young scared
She ain't care she made me fight
Fifty-two sweep you haymaker right
When I get old I hope that I can stay this fly
Once a man twice a child
From mama's boy to preschool to college to now employed
Now you on got your first crib she's having your firstborn
Went from buying the finer toys with your boys
To buying toys for your boy
It's crazy how fast he's growing for sure
Grandpops he told me 'bout his days of old
One day I'll be him on the porch sippin' on something cold
And it stuck with my soul
I been divided at the road
Hot-headed as a youngster confronted I might unload
Now listen knowledge I received as a seed as a G
That would feed my personal frequency
Transcends through all travel through walls
My ministry we ain't know we was livin' hazardous
Savages first n***as in New York with Bentleys Tyson Kedar Puff Stoute and then me
Before Many Men was out we went on tour to 50
Live while you got the strength to
Health you should tend to
Look all of ain't gon' get old I hope this message hit you
For real
Strong ************ when you're young
I ducked a razor ducked some punches even ducked a gun Nintendo Duck Hunt
I ducked police I had to run
Meanwhile when you get old you might become futile
My old style is a rough of my new style
My old girl d**e but I love my new girl
So when I'ma slow down this merry go round
Called life
I was a youngster with a fever Moms brought cold ice
I'm tryin' to expand the pineal gland
The world ain't our home just temporary please understand
You die tomorrow then you born again so life is deathless
Respect and balance human dignity that's the perspective
Aimé Leon Dore New Balance when I'm steppin'
Time is precious
One day I might need my diaper changed inside a convalescent
The soul is different than the flesh is
Life is teachin' me more wisdom and ignorance is kin
To have peace you need war
By the time you see the stars in the skies they already burnt out
Same way these dudes be shinin' but been burnt out
But we don't change as we get stuck in our ways
We just act like we agree so we can end the exchange
What's meant for you is sent to you
But you could be the problem it's not always them my dude
Was she crazy before you met her or you made her crazy
Possibly she gonna be a nurse when you back to a baby
Once a man twice a child
Strong ************ when you're young
Uh
I ducked a razor ducked some punches even ducked a gun Nintendo Duck Hunt
I ducked police I had to run
Meanwhile when you get old you might become futile
My old style is a rough of my new style
My old girl d**e but I love my new girl
So when I'ma slow down this merry go round
Called life
I was a youngster with a fever Moms brought cold ice
And in the streets I had agility was quick to strike
My fear's not seeing it coming got too rich for that sight
So take advantage of your youth before you elderly
'Cause today is the youngest that you will ever be
