[00:22.10][Verse 1: Nas]
[00:22.56]Any day could be your last in the jungle
[00:24.10]Get murdered on a humble, guns'll blast, ****** tumble
[00:26.84]The corners is the hot spot, full of criminals
[00:29.28]Who don't care, guzzling beers, we all stare
[00:31.88]At the out-of-towners, they better break North
[00:33.82]Before we get the four pounders and take their face off
[00:35.66]The streets is filled with undercovers
[00:38.10]Homicide chasing brothers
[00:39.34]The D's on the roof tryin' to watch us and lock us
[00:41.89]And killer coppers even come through in helicopters
[00:44.48]I drink a little vodka, spark a L and hold a Glock
[00:47.28]For the fronters, wannabe ill ****** and spot runners
[00:49.72]Thinking it can't happen 'til I trap 'em and clap 'em
[00:52.20]And leave 'em done, won't even run about
[00:54.39]I don't believe in none of that s**t, your facts are backwards
[00:57.38]Nas is a rebel of the street corner
[00:59.37]Pulling a TEC out the dresser; police got me under pressure
[01:02.28][Chorus: Nas]
[01:02.48]Represent, represent
[01:04.81]Represent, represent
[01:07.41]Represent, represent
[01:09.86]Represent, represent
[01:12.10]Yeah
[01:12.70][Verse 2: Nas]
[01:12.90]Yo, they call me Nas, I'm not your legal type of fella
[01:14.69]Mo?t drinking, m*******a smoking street dweller
[01:17.08]Who's always on the corner, rolling up blessed
[01:19.62]When I dress, it's never nothing less than Guess
[01:22.01]Cold be walking with a bop and my hat turned back
[01:24.40]Love committing sins and my friends sell crack
[01:27.04]This ***** raps with a razor, keep it under my tongue
[01:29.48]The school drop-out, never liked the s**t from day one
[01:31.92]‘Cause life ain't s**t but stress, fake ******, crab stunts
[01:34.65]So I guzzle my Hennessy while pulling on mad blunts
[01:37.24]The brutalizer, crew de-sizer, accelerator
[01:40.08]The type of brother who be pissing in your elevator
[01:42.53]Somehow the rap game reminds me of the crack game
[01:44.92]Used to sport Bally's and Cazals with black frames
[01:47.30]Now I'm into fat chains, *** and TECs
[01:49.59]Fly new chicks and new kicks, Heines and Beck's
[01:52.43][Chorus: Nas]
[01:52.63]I represent y'all
[01:54.67]I represent y'all
[01:57.12]I represent y'all
[02:02.14][Verse 3: Nas]
[02:02.34]This is what it's about
[02:02.74]Before the BDP conflict with MC Shan
[02:04.33]Around the time when Shante dissed the Real Roxxane
[02:06.98]I used to chill on the corner, on the block
[02:09.46]Every day's a different...that had us running from cops
[02:12.16]If it wasn't hanging out in front of c*****e spots
[02:14.60]We was at the candy factory, breaking the locks
[02:16.98]Nowadays, I need the cash in the hand just like the next man
[02:19.88]**** a yard, God, let me see a hundred grand
[02:22.47]Could use a gun, son, but **** being the wanted man
[02:24.86]But if I hit rock bottom then I'ma be the Son of Sam
[02:27.54]Then call the crew to get live too, with Swoop
[02:29.73]Bokeem, my brother Jungle, Big Bo cooks up the blow
[02:32.22]Mike'll chop it; Mayo, you count the profit
[02:34.72]My s**t is on the streets, this way the Jakes'll never stop it
[02:37.26]It's your brain on, to all fly b*****s and thugs
[02:39.70]'Nuff respect to the projects, I'm ghost, one love
[02:42.43][Chorus: Nas]
[02:42.63]I represent y'all
[02:45.07]I represent y'all
