Nas — Fever

Uh-huh Early on the wake up, cunning as the father of the 12 sons of Jacob Shake up the world, cake crumbs Cover my gold teeth, cufflinks, waiters Lobster sauce on aprons, pardon, that's the chef Burgundy on the breath, uncertainty when I step Dancin' to every song like it's a contest Singin' to Stevie Wonder Happy Birthday Celebratin' years of flows and crazy wordplay Seasoned, I'm leavin' my forties, I'm a griot Deep as Deepak Chopra, dress socks and loafers Family only, I'm holdin' hands with a cold piece Bow to the old me, I'm officially OG Might throw a Roast Me, wonder what will the jokеs be Watchin' 'em imitate my cool dеmeanor It's a new decade, I'm in a whole new arena Roll the dice in this life and I hit the Fever, get it! Wolf out of NYC, this is prophecy Know this was meant to be, evolve constantly Half a century Put your glasses up, represent for me (Represent, represent) Represent for me Represent, represent, represent for me Fly from infancy to half a century Ah-ha, represent Cryin' faces for the double agents watchin' my every move Go tell 'em I can't sit still, I never do Let them think of all the places I led them Go look at it through an all-age spectrum Still winnin', never a better move Who they claim to be today? Man, they can never choose We all got a set of tools we gotta use to push through Like I did and Esco is my nom de plume Party in the penthouse, live, fill all the rooms With beautiful vibes, that's the way to calm the goons Champagne flutes, my cigars pop balloons Bowties get untied when the clock hit 2 A '73 baby — I say a speech, maybe Besides the Littles and Joneses, Hip-Hop made me Born in New York, I hope the Most High keeps you I wish at least fifty on all my good people, fever Wolf out of NYC, this is prophecy Know this was meant to be, evolve constantly Half a century Put your glasses up, represent for me (Represent, represent) Represent for me Represent, represent, represent for me Fly from infancy to half a century Ah-ha, represent
