One city, one country, one state
Some place to be nobody
Some place to be
Some place you wouldn't know probably
One city, one country, one state
Some place to be nobody
Some place to be
Some place you wouldn't know probably
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 1: Nas]
If Chappelle moved to Ghana to find his peace then I'm rollin
Where the service always roamin', I'm packin' my bags and goin'
It's a challenge in that, it's a balancing act
Visit beautiful places that's more out here than the trap
Houses in Long Island they always found 'em
House in the South a nigga barely got out
Sunny L.A., Remember calls with Dr. Dre
He told me, "Don't let the palm trees fool you, nigga, be safe"
Me and my higher self, we often would speak
Somehow we lost the connection, might meet at Joshua Tree
And it's been bothering me
Too many wavy women, gotta log outta IG
Can't be my age DM'ing, no kidding, it's hard to move like a civilian
I write the truth 'cuz I live it, not like you musical niggas
We did it big and they bigots, they'd rather shoot than write tickets
What it feel like to go get it? What it feel like to go missing?
[Chorus: Nas]
In one city, one country, one state
Some place to be nobody
Some place to be
Some place you wouldn't know problems
Some place to be nobody
[Verse 2: Nas]
My dog bought a plane, said "Let's go to Paris"
That's where baguettes are from, French bread that's long and narrow
I like the other definition, rectangular carats
The concept of this song is rather esoteric
This girl said in Grenada we should go get married
Broke the meaning down of the Virgin Mary
And you got your own place, my favorite part of the night
When you text me that you made it home safe (I'm home)
I'm contemplatin' at the homebase
How I'm used to breakfast in the ghetto sippin' OJ
That's a picture right there, a moment in time
Before anybody wanted a photo of mine
Before the internet energy and social decline
Destroyed the vibe foolin' us with the headlines
(Keepin' us blind) Vultures eat you alive
(The key to the signs) Wishin' I'd find
[Chorus: Nas]
One city, one country, one state
Some place to be nobody
Some place to be
Some place you wouldn't know probably
Some place to be nobody (Life)
[Verse 3: Lauryn Hill]
All my time has been focused on my freedom now
Why would I join 'em when I know that I can beat 'em now?
They put their words on me, and they can eat 'em now
That's probably why they keep on tellin' me I'm needed now
They tried to box me out while takin' what they want from me
I spent too many years living too uncomfortably
Making room for people who didn't like the labor
Or wanted the spoils, greedy, selfish behavior
Now let me give it to you balanced and with clarity
I don't need to turn myself into a parody
I don't- I don't do the shit you do for popularity
They clearly didn't understand when I said "I Get Out" apparently
My awareness like Keanu in The Matrix
I'm savin' souls and y'all complainin' 'bout my lateness
Now it's illegal for someone to walk in greatness
They want the same shh, but they don't take risks
Now the world will get to see it's own reflection
And the anointed can pursue their own direction
And if you're wrong and you're too proud to hear correction
Walk into the hole you dug yourself, fuck a projection
See me in my freedom taking all my land back
They sent a lot against me thinking I'd just stand back
I got my legs beneath me, I got my hands back
A lot of people sabotaged, they couldn't stand that
I turned the other cheek, I took blow after blow
There's so much crisis in the world 'cause you reap what you sow
When you keep what you know is meant for someone else
The ditch you dig for them, you might just end up in yourself
I'm in the secret place, I keep a sacred space
They keep showin' their hands, but keep hidin' their face
If I'm a messenger, you block me then you block the message
So aggressive, the world you made is what you're left with
Pride and ego over love and truth is fucking reckless
Y'all niggas got a death wish, the stupid leaves me breathless
[Outro: Nas]
Some place to be
Yeah
Ain't duckin' nothin'
Just might have to build my own city where y'all need a real nigga passport to enter
Ms. Hill, we ain't goin' nowhere
They gon' have to deal with us
Make 'em uncomfortable, haha
Yeah
一个城市，一个国家，一个州
一些地方是没有人的
一些地方
你可能不知道的一些地方
是啊
[第1节：NAS]
如果Chappelle搬到加纳找到他的和平，那么我就罗林
服务总是漫游的地方，我包装了“我的行李和goin”
这是一个挑战，这是一个平衡的行为
参观比陷阱更多的美丽地方
长岛的房子总是找到了他们
南部的房子一只黑鬼几乎没出来
Sunny L.A.，请记住与DRE博士的电话
他告诉我，“不要让棕榈树欺骗你，黑鬼，安全”
我和我的更高的自我，我们经常会说话
不知何故，我们失去了连接，可能会在约书亚树见面
这一直困扰着我
太多的波浪女人，必须log outta ig
不能成为我的年龄dm，不开玩笑，这很难像平民一样移动
我写了真相'因为我活着，不像你音乐黑鬼
我们做了很大，他们的偏执狂，他们宁愿射击而不是写门票
它觉得去找它吗？丢失的是什么感觉？
[合唱：NAS]
在一个城市，一个国家，一个州
一些地方是没有人的
一些地方
有些地方你不知道问题
一些地方是没有人的
[第2节：NAS]
我的狗买了一架飞机，说“让我们去巴黎”
这就是长方形面包的地方，法国面包长而狭窄
我喜欢其他定义，矩形克拉
这首歌的概念是相当深奥的
这个女孩在格林纳达说，我们应该去结婚
打破了处女玛利亚的含义
你有自己的地方，我最喜欢的一夜
当你给我发短信时，你让它成为家里的安全（我回家）
我正在审判在家庭场
我如何在贫民区Sippin'OJ中习惯早餐
那是一张照片，在时间暂时
在任何人想要我的照片之前
在互联网能量和社会衰退之前
用头条新闻摧毁了愚蠢的傻瓜
（让我们盲目的）秃鹫吃你活着
（标志的关键）愿意'我找到了
[合唱：NAS]
一个城市，一个国家，一个州
一些地方是没有人的
一些地方
你可能不知道的一些地方
一些没有人（生活）的地方
[第3节：Lauryn Hill]
我所有的时间都专注于我的自由
当我知道我现在可以击败他们时，为什么加入他们？
他们把他们的话说在我身上，他们现在可以吃掉他们
这可能是为什么他们继续告诉我我现在需要
他们试图在羚牛的时候向我答案
我花了太多岁月的生活太令人不安
为不喜欢劳动的人制作空间
或者想要破坏，贪婪，自私行为
现在让我把它放在你的平衡和清晰度
我不需要把自己变成模仿
我不 - 我不做你的流行狗屎
当我说“我出去”时，他们显然不明白
我对矩阵中的keanu等意识
我是Savin'Souls和Y'all Complain''shout我的迟到
现在，人们走进伟大是非法的
他们想要同样的嘘，但他们不承担风险
现在世界将看到它是自己的反思
而膏药可以追求自己的方向
如果你错了，而且你太自豪地听到了修正
走进你自己挖的洞，他妈的一个投影
在我的自由中看到我拿回我所有的土地
他们觉得我想到了很多，想我只是站回来
我拿到了我的腿，我拿回了我的手
很多人破坏了，他们无法忍受
我转过身来，我打击后打了
世界上有这么多的危机，因为你收获你播种的东西
当你保留你所知道的东西是对别人来说意味着什么
你为他们挖掘的沟渠，你可能只是在自己身上
我在秘密的地方，我保留了一个神圣的空间
他们留下了他们的手，而是保持赫凡的脸
如果我是一个使者，你阻止了我，然后你阻止了消息
如此咄咄逼人，你所做的世界就是你剩下的
爱和真相的自豪和自我是他妈的鲁莽
你们黑鬼的愿望下来，愚蠢的让我气喘吁吁
[Outro：NAS]
一些地方
是的
不是躲避'nothin'
可能必须建立自己的城市，y'all需要一个真正的黑鬼护照进入
山女士，我们不可能
他们要和我们一起处理
让他们感到不舒服，哈哈
是的
