Lyrics Stillmatic (The Intro) - Live at Webster Hall, NYC - Dec. 17, 2002 - Nas

It's the gangster shit up in here (all love)
This is for my real niggas up in this motherfucker
Throw a fist up like this y'all
All my real ghetto kings like this y'all

Yo, blood of a slave, heart of a king (it's like this y'all, it's like this y'all)
Blood of a slave, heart of a king
Now check my story

They say a brother's stillmatic
I crawled up out of that grave, wipin' my dirt, cleanin' my shirt
They thought I'd make another ill- (matic)
But it's always forward I'm moving
Never backwards, here's another classic y'all
