Nas – Quiet Niggas Lyrics

Hip Hop/Rap

Where my real niggas at?
There's a lot of real niggas out there
There's a lot of real niggas everywhere
That's why you don't fuck with just anybody
A lot of niggas is just on the low
Chillin', not botherin' nobody
Until one motherfucker fuck with 'em
And then all hell break loose

Quiet niggas'll kill, loud niggas talk shit
That be the ones who get killed, it's wild where we walk, kid
Is you brave, nigga? Is you a slave, nigga?
Is you a made nigga or is you a paid nigga?
Quiet niggas'll kill, loud niggas talk shit
That be the ones who get killed, it's wild where we walk, kid
Is you brave, nigga? Is you a slave, nigga?
Is you a made nigga or is you a paid nigga?

Well known gangstas and trust
That we bust, your heart and soul lies with us, let's see
Boldly go where we once took a nigga before
Now the motherfucker beggin' for more
It's Thorazine, standin' here shakin', hatin' the haters
They watchin' my paper, realize, a .45'll open his eyes
Now what the fuck you think he saw before he dropped?
Nigga standin' there dressed like a cop
Braveheart, I'm screamin' up the block
Not a soldier, cadet, general effect
Don't let me get up and show y'all motherfuckers respect
Plans connect, the twinklin' diamonds upon my neck
More jazz than Hornacek, I blast, leave your corner wet
Straight on top of ya, spittin' like the Trench Coat Mafia
In the schoolyard, we make it hard, what's poppin', y'all?
We made our change, what's stoppin' y'all?
They spray our names, rest in peace on the project wall

Quiet niggas'll kill, loud niggas talk shit
That be the ones who get killed, it's wild where we walk, kid
Is you brave, nigga? Is you a slave, nigga?
Is you a made nigga or is you a paid nigga?
Quiet niggas'll kill, loud niggas talk shit
That be the ones who get killed, it's wild where we walk, kid
Is you brave, nigga? Is you a slave, nigga?
Is you a made nigga or is you a paid nigga?

I wave gang signs at the youth that's down for the cause
Fling them things to the very end, you better get yours
Time is runnin' out, your streets is gettin' smaller as we speak
Giuliani, turn these lights on so niggas can't creep
I miss the shit of the David Dinkins, please free John Gotti
They kept the black man eatin', not killin' everybody
Drug wars is real, you have no friends in the outfield
Foul balls is death, umpires keep ice grills
There's no tomorrow, it's the bottom of the '99
Can't die a broke man with a big chest, fine
My heart's full of braveness, so who the fuck gon' wanna save this
Fallen angel from fallin', startin' chaos on this nation
Don't play us on your station if you pussy or you hatin'
You can find us in the hood, thuggin' and regulatin'
Don't play us on your station if you pussy or you hatin'
You can find us in the hood, thuggin' and regulatin'

Quiet niggas'll kill, loud niggas talk shit
That be the ones who get killed, it's wild where we walk, kid
Is you brave, nigga? Is you a slave, nigga?
Is you a made nigga or is you a paid nigga?
Quiet niggas'll kill, loud niggas talk shit
That be the ones who get killed, it's wild where we walk, kid
Is you brave, nigga? Is you a slave, nigga?
Is you a made nigga or is you a paid nigga?

Yo, we here to eat food, my peoples be lethal
Shots in your body make you see-through
Quiet niggas become jail riot niggas
Twenty-five to life bid, never cry niggas
Floss when they up north, chest gettin' bigger
Celebs on the VI, respect that, nigga
Reggie on the regular, chops it up like a editor
Come through, one man gang like the Predator
If your wake got wetted up, Jungle set it up
The jackal, rock you to sleep but I'm comin' at you
Air out your area, Queensbridge forever, what?
Ill Will the label, Bravehearts, y'all scared of us

Yo, when those niggas ran, these niggas stayed
When those niggas switched up and bitched up afraid
These niggas clicked up and gripped up the gauge
Those niggas got jail and sick 'cause we paid
Don't even rep QB, you ain't got hood stripes
Let us come through, catch you frontin', and it's good night
Know how much force this is? Jungle, Horse and Wiz
Nothin' but bosses, kid, we go to war for this

Quiet niggas'll kill, loud niggas talk shit
That be the ones who get killed, it's wild where we walk, kid
Is you brave, nigga? Is you a slave, nigga?
Is you a made nigga or is you a paid nigga?
Quiet niggas'll kill, loud niggas talk shit
That be the ones who get killed, it's wild where we walk, kid
Is you brave, nigga? Is you a slave, nigga?
Is you a made nigga or is you a paid nigga?
Quiet niggas'll kill, loud niggas talk shit
That be the ones who get killed, it's wild where we walk, kid
Is you brave, nigga? Is you a slave, nigga?
Is you a made nigga or is you a paid nigga?
Quiet niggas'll kill, loud niggas talk shit
That be the ones who get killed, it's wild where we walk, kid
Is you brave, nigga? Is you a slave, nigga?
Is you a made nigga or is you a paid nigga?
