Lyrics
0:00Composure(feat. Hit-Boy) (Explicit) - Nas/Hit-Boy
0:00Ayo Hit I like this IE weather
0:06Hey look
0:09Vote yes on Hit-Boy b***h I'm the city spokesman
0:12They see we got this s**t crackin' and now they spirit broken
0:15I'm standin' on the green like the British Open
0:18And stackin' ice on top of ice but I'm not building snowmen
0:21Doctors couldn't even detect my disorders
0:24One case six figures on six different lawyers
0:27I put my soul in every song with limited support
0:29Focused on the output not the outcome big God is my source
0:33Spirit of excellence in my genetics
0:36Complexities come with my complexion
0:39'Fore you shut me down let me reach my level first
0:42Y'all be too proud to do the devil's work
0:45All that actin' and fakin' I can't take part in it
0:48I'm washin' my hands with the soap opera s**t
0:51Set the cameras to speed co-directed KD
0:54We know the caged bird sings and screams when it's free
0:56Every second I spit on this I got it back in blessings
1:00You can't stop and run no errands on the way to legend
1:02Hit-Boy：
1:03They should've told 'em I'm raising up on the totem
1:05Yeah boilin' over pot full of yola
1:08Mix it with the cola son of a block controller
1:11Can't let 'em f**k me over gotta keep my composure look
1:14Nas：
1:14Had yellow jaundice when I was born
1:17Kept me in an incubator ten days long
1:19I made up songs I was like humming tunes ten years later
1:22Writin' in my room ten years after that on stage like it's too soon but
1:26For me see my parents met inside a nightclub
1:29Olu started to fight and then my moms broke it up
1:32She said "this boy he's in the Navy settle down before y'all need savin'"
1:35Pop went to war around the world came home we celebrated
1:38AWOL
1:39Fast forward to when I started to play ball
1:41From a place where we hate law
1:42See the Jakes and we take off
1:44Whoop whoop
1:45Hit the gate I get home and take my chain off
1:47Thankful I got through the day and all the evil I prayed off
1:50Everything is cause and effect
1:52Make the wrong moves in this business you lose all your respect
1:55My block is dark as it gets
1:57We all make mistakes only a few will recover from 'em
1:59Don't spend your whole life runnin' from 'em
2:01Run up the numbers
2:02Nas：
2:03Should've told 'em I'm raising up on the totem
2:05Yeah boilin' over pot full of yola
2:08Mix it up with the cola son of a queen and a soldier
2:11Can't let 'em f**k me over gotta keep my composure look
2:14Shaka Senghor：
2:16Keep your composure on city blocks and cell blocks
2:22Keep your composure
2:25Hold it down hold it tight
2:28Hold it close hold space for yourself
2:32It's the way of the ancestors
2:34Our elders our artists our OGs our dreamers our builders
2:41With each breath internalize their successes
2:44Their struggles their sense of self their sense of overcoming
2:49And take that power forward through your life
2:51Remind yourself of the magnitude of your good fortune
2:55And the mere chance one in billions that you survived
2:59That you will thrive
3:01And even the strongest kings and queens being yet remain unbroken
3:06Keep your composure
3:07And believe in the magic of who we are
3:10Because what you believe is everything
3:12And what someone believes about you is nothing
3:15Keep your composure I am Shaka Senghor
