[00:00:27] My *s thought they was words

[00:00:28] 我通常在墙上指出Nas的说唱和磁带

[00:00:28] But it was pictures I saw

[00:00:30] 我的兄弟们认为那是字迹

[00:00:30] And since I wanted to draw

[00:00:31] 但是我看到的却是鬼画桃符

[00:00:31] I used to read 'em in awe

[00:00:33] 当我想要画画的时候

[00:00:33] Then he dropped Stillmatic

[00:00:34] 我曾经带着敬意读过他的文字

[00:00:34] Rocked the cleanest Velour

[00:00:35] 然而他却陷入了本位主义

[00:00:35] Fast forward who thought

[00:00:37] 晃动着最纯洁的天鹅绒

[00:00:37] That I would meet him on tour?

[00:00:44] When he said he was a fan

[00:00:45] 让他明白，他是主角

[00:00:45] It was to hard to understand

[00:00:47] 当他说他是一个粉丝

[00:00:47] No time to soak up the moment though

[00:00:48] 实在是太令人费解了

[00:00:48] Cause I was in a jam

[00:00:49] 然而没有太多时间去回味那些时光

[00:00:49] Hov askin' where's the record

[00:00:51] 因为我在一个监狱里

[00:00:51] That the radio could play

[00:00:52] 他问道，唱片在哪里

[00:00:52] And I was strikin' out for months

[00:00:54] 那样就可以在收音机中播放了
