Destroy & Rebuild

This is a journey into the world's most largest
And notorious projects, Queensbridge
Listen while Nas saves his hood from the most cowardest rappers

He had a mass appeal and a little boy smile
Depressed, has a complex, his mouth was foul
You need to stay around I feel like tellin' some stories
First there's this arrogant fuck, his name's Cory
Hang around my man's 'Like' and 'Big Trevor'
Trevors still locked up, Like's gettin' his cheddar
Cory changed his name to arr, whatever
Cornchip, Buckwheat lookalike, its Mega

Right, Mega was his name sorry about that
But its so hard to put a cowards name in my rap
Always actin' tough, a jokester be frontin'
He got snuffed, he got shot in the thigh, he did nothing
But that's Nas, always lookin' out for brethren
'Cause when 'brethren' don't return love it don't stress him
'Cause gangstas do gangsta shit, real recognize real
Still laughin' to the bank and shit

Back to Cor, got him a deal but his rhymes was whack
Def Jam mad that he signed the contract
Now he got jealous and mad at my shine
Making silly tapes, I'm always on his mind
Nonsense, not to be obnoxious kid
Mega, for the record you could suck my dick
Bitch, you're from around the way it's sad what this do to me
But Queensbridge, we gotta have unity

They say, "The bridge is over, the bridge is over"
Nah, this is a time we destroy and rebuild it
They say, "The bridge is over, the bridge is over"
Nah, we're the strongest hood but weak niggas kill it

So they say, "The bridge is over, the bridge is over"
Nah, this is the time we destroy and rebuild it
They say, "The bridge is over, the bridge is over"
Nah, we're the strongest hood but it's these cowards that kill it
So now they say

Since we're on the subject of traders and flunkies
Mega ain't the only faggot in my hood, dummies
There's plenty that wanna be me but cannot
Its like King Arthur and Knight Sir Lancelot
Lefty and Donnie Brasco, Gotti and Paul
Before I woulda told you Prodigy's my dog
Through the ups and downs, robberies and all
Though I always knew he wanted my downfall

He would say his little slick shit and act real funny
For what? Nigga you're butt and it got back to me
Askin' a Braveheart to get back your jewelry
You ain't from my hood, don't even rep QB
Nature moved to Marcy
Man dick ridin' Nature, nothing else to say
Man Nature moved to Marcy (what? Far)
Back with ass niggas in fear (far away)

Fuck them niggas, go ahead with the program man, proceed
Old lady pocketbook snatcher, car thief
'Of course' we ain't friends, you never stood on no blocks
Streets or corners with zombies, and ghouls and gangsters
Cops, drug dealers with pools of blood anger
Just fills me when niggas let out of town to set shot
And get filthy rich, it's just not
No more morals, no loyalty, no more community
Queensbridge, we gotta have unity

They say, "The bridge is over, the bridge is over"
Nah, this is a time we destroy and rebuild it
They say, "The bridge is over, the bridge is over"
Nah, we're the strongest hood but weak niggas kill it

So they say, "The bridge is over, the bridge is over"
Nah, this is the time we destroy and rebuild it
They say, "The bridge is over, the bridge is over"
Nah, we're the strongest hood but it's these cowards that kill it
So now they say

I put the name on the map after Marly and Shan
QB, before the ROC had one jam
Before the Death Row and Bad Boy beef
I had streets locked with raw talent, haha, I laugh at the weak
So this's about cleanin' up house, my own backyard
Famous home of rap stars well known be gettin' robbed
P how many times? Ain't you shamed that
Jungle was bustin' his gun to get your weak chain back?
They don't respect you a checks due for me for your fame

Mega, I hope you blow so I'm sayin' your name (Mega, Mega)
Hoes play your position 'cause you'll never be king
Even Jigga want the crown, oh that's sad, poor thing
I'm representin' Queensbridge, USA
Where two sk's go off every day, new flesh lay
All you little roaches and rats
Besides my man Ricky, Nas the true ruler is back
So haters say

"The bridge is over, the bridge is over"
Nah, this is a time we destroy and rebuild it
They say, "The bridge is over, the bridge is over"
Nah, we're the strongest hood but weak niggas kill it

So they say, "The bridge is over, the bridge is over"
Nah, this is the time we destroy and rebuild it
They say, "The bridge is over, the bridge is over"
Nah, we're the strongest hood but it's these cowards that kill it
So now they say

The bridge is over my dick, 'Bridge'll never be over
Long as I'm alive and breathin', Braveheart to the graveyard
I'm the William Wallace of this shit
Heyo P, Prodigy, I got love for you man, I love you man
You know what I'm sayin', just get them unloyal niggas
From out your circle, you can't save everybody
Niggas invited you to the hood, rep it right my nigga
Be untouchable my nigga, so we'd be Mobb for life for real

And thats real, 'eyo Nature, I can't hold your hand through this shit man
I'm not your father man, be your own man, stand on your own too
I believe in you, believe in yourself nigga or don't even rep this man
'Eyo Mega you wanna be a gangsta?
Y'all, there's real gangster shit goin' on in the streets man, yo' niggas is in the grind
Where you be at man? Niggas be buckin'
Wait, why you never buckin', where you been at, man?
All of a sudden you the motherfuckin' Neo Brown of the fucking hood

It's disgusting man, stay out the magazines
Keep my name outta your motherfuckin' mouth
There's no more room for jealousy, we destroying and rebuilding
That means the cowards get out and the real niggas stay
Niggas been hatin me since I been nine, shinin'
With suede motherfuckin' balles on in silks
I'ma always be this young don, don't be like the niggas on the other side
Hatin' me cause I'm beautiful, real niggas in Queensbridge

Y'all niggas, come up and get this money and move on baby
QB
