[Puff] Escobar season has returned...

[Nas]

It's been a long time, been a long time comin

Looks like the death of me now

But you know, there's no turning back now

This is what makes me - this is what I am

[Puff] Feel me? Let's go

[Base Chorus: Puff Daddy]

You can hate me now.. but I won't stop now..

Cause I can't stop now.. you can hate me now..

But I won't stop now.. cause I can't stop now..

You can hate me now.. you can hate me NOWWWW..

[1st Chorus: add Nas after each pause]

Q.B., real niggas, Bravehearts, c'mon

[1st Chorus: after Nas add Puff Daddy ad lib]

Well you hate me I'm gon' hate you too

It's as simple as that

Die motherf**ker die motherf**ker die

You don't give a f**k I don't give a f**k

Go down any way you want it to go down (do it now)

Weak, jealous motherf**kers (do it now, do it now)

f**k y'all!

[Verse 1]

Don't hate me, hate the money I see, clothes that I buy

Ice that I wear, clothes that I try, close your eyes

Picture me rollin, sixes, money foldin

Bitches honies that swollen to riches, Nas get in ya

Most critically acclaimed Pulitzer, prize winner

Best storyteller thug narrator my style's greater

Model dater, big threat to a lot of you haters

Commentators ringside try watchin my paper

Almost a decade, quite impressive

Most of the best is in the essence

for this rap shit that I stand for

Expandin more to the big screen, Bill Gates dreams

But it seems you'd rather see me in jail with state greens

Want me off the scene fast, but good things last

like your favorite MC still makin some mean cash

First rapper to bring a platinum plaque, back to the projects

but you still wanna hate,
