Pusha T – Nosetalgia lyrics

[Verse 1: Pusha T]
Twenty plus years of selling Johnson & Johnson
I started out as a baby face monster
No one did his diaper ass, you’re my conscience
My teeter ring was nothing by that nonsense
Jim star razor and a dinner plate
Arm and Hammer and a mason jaw, that’s my dinner date
Then crack the window in the kitchen, let it ventilate
Cause I let it sizzle on the stove like a minute steak
Nigga, I was crack in the school zone
Two beepers on me, Starter jacket that was two toned
Four lockers, four different bitches got their mule on
Black Ferris Bueller, cutting school with his jewels on
Couldn’t do wrong with a chest full of chains and a arm full of watches
What I sell for pain in the hood, I’m a doctor
Zhivago tried to fight the urge like Ivan Drago
If he dies he dies, like doughboy the trey
If he rides he rides, throwing punches in his room
If he cries he cries, we don’t drink away the pain
When a nigga die we add a link to the chain
Inscribe a nigga name in your flesh
We playing on a higher game of chess
Once you deligate his bills who’s gone fuck his bitch the best?
A million megapixels of the Pyrex
Started on the scale digital, my only time x
Nigga, this is timeless, simply cause it’s honest
Pure as the fumes that be fucking with my sinus
Nigga this is Simon says, Simon red
Blood on your diamonds til you dying dead

[Hook]
You better change what comes out your speaker

[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar]
You wanna see a dead body?
Instrumentals from my mama’s Christmas party
Troubles on my mind, I still smell crime
My little brother cryin’
Smokers repeatedly buying my Sega Genesis
Either that or my auntie was stealing it
Hit the pipe and start feelin’ it
Oh wee, cut me some slack, weed never did that
This was different, geez, Louis please help me relax
Quantum physics could never show you the world I was in
When I was ten
Back when nine ounces have got you ten
And nine times out of ten niggas don’t pay attention
And when there’s tension in the air knives come with extensions
My daddy dumped a quarter piece to a foreigner half
Took a L, started selling soap fiends bubble bath
Broke his nails misusing his pinky to treat his nose
Shirt buttoned open, taco meat land on his gold
I said ”daddy, one day I’mma get you right with 36 zips
1000 grams of cocaine then your name will be Rich
Now you can rock it up or sell it soft as leather interior
Drop some ice cubes in it Debo harbor perimeter”
He said ”son, how come you didn’t be my connect?”
Said ”pops, your ass is washed up with all due respect”
He said ”well nigga, then show me how it all makes sense”
Go figure, motherfucker, every verse is a brick
Your son dope, nigga
Now reap what you sew’d, nigga
Please reap what you sew’d, nigga
I was born in ’87, my grand daddy a legend
Now the same shit that y’all was smoking is my profession
Let’s get it

[Hook]
