"Sitting With My Thoughts" lyrics - NAS

[Intro: Nas & Nipsey Hussle]
To OGs and young bosses
We bounce back when we take losses
Ayy Hit, how we gon' lose with shit like this, my nigga?

I once too was a young boy wildin' on tour
Runnin' with some of the wildest youngins out in New York
Met some more in Baton Rouge, used to wow how they talked
Nineteen, my girl was pregnant, had to sit with my thoughts
Sit with my thoughts
I had to sit with my thoughts
My family was my motivation
Focus on the elevation, I'm attractin', not chasin'
We ain't scared of niggas, we rarer than niggas
Rope chain hang, diamonds in the pendant
I am independent, she wrote a comment, they pinned it
It got to my attention, we could go viral in minutes
Aspire to win it, I'm spiralin' in it
Flip sides of the coin, that's life in the business
Flip publishin', it goes to the highest of bidders
I got 'em bitter, lows of a winner
That shit comes with bein' great, it's a lot on my plate
Never broke again, I'm blacker than the NBA
ESPN couldn't cover all of my highlights
Look at this money machine, I love what it sound like
And Nipsey would've love that I'm workin' with Hit
He might've took me to 6-0 and turned me a Crip
It's All Money In
XO in my cup, I'm sittin' with my thoughts again, yeah

[Chorus:]
To OGs and young bosses
We bounce back when we take losses
I pray we all get prayed for
I pray we all can make more

Whole time I'm writin' this, I'm typin' some people back
Who need me to get 'em in places, type of shit is that?
I'm a concierge for most people I know
I'm in the studio with Hit, CashAppin' my folks (I love it)
That shit come with bein' great, it's a lot on my plate
I would give it all away for a smile on they face
Shoutout to rappers who inspired me in my beginnings
Who I inspired right back when they pen was dwindlin'
Sittin' with my thoughts, thinkin' what it cost
For peace of mind, I'd go crazy if I couldn't rhyme
I finally took time to drop constant releases
I finally put me first, the intro on the sequence
Don't need a new assistant, I'm just too persistent
Officially efficient, I see it through to the finish
So complete, I'm not a control freak
Personal chef flow, I make sure that we all eat

[Chorus:]
To OGs and young bosses
We bounce back when we take losses
I pray we all get prayed for
I pray we all can make more
To OGs and young bosses
We bounce back when we take losses
I pray we all get prayed for
I pray we all can make more
