Nah Mean Songtext
von Nas & Damian Marley

Tougher than concrete, eh bwoy
Go labbajuice, watch ya
Check it, boom

You nah mean, mi dip out a whole fourteen
Nah mean
And reload man extra magazine
Nah mean

A wounded them housing scheme
Nah mean
′Nuff a dem a move sideways and lean
Nah mean

Can't come ′bout when man deh in
Nah mean
We nuh like dem colonial regime
Nah mean

Ethiopian nuh like Mussoline
Nah mean
Mi queen hafi rock and come in
Nah mean


And jump pon mi big trampoline
Nah Mean
And boost up her self-esteem
Nah Mean

'Nuff a wonder how man kitchen so clean
Nah mean
And which recipe dat a steam
Nah mean

Nah mean
Mek you feel like you living in a dream
Nah mean

It come to the crop man a cream
Nah mean
It come to discipline man a Dean
Nah mean

Mi tougher than a Hummer Limousine
Nah mean
We stepping we fresh and we clean
Nah mean

I burn the stinkest of green
Nah mean
Better listen up careful and keen
Nah mean


A Puppa Nas a rock and come in
Nah mean

We celebrate like I finished probation
Boy, boy
Notty head with no chaser
Boy, boy

From the mouth I can spit out a razor
Boy, boy
Open up your facial like your boy Roy
In his prime

Eat food, dinner time
Jr. Gong pass the Guinness
Handle business, black velvet sippers
Females never bid us farewell, they with us

'Cause we arrive on the scene just like a high beam
Nah mean
Don′t let us have to make the 9 scream
Nah mean

At your racial, policing regime
Nah mean
Spiritual wear like a Elohim
Nah mean

In a casino or a yacht, wherever I′m seen
My brothers and sisters are never forgot
Nah mean

Don't wanna hear another soldier drop
Nah mean
Another dope addict get shot with the morphine
And feds are indicting my block
Nah mean

They′re wearing red from they shoes to they top
Nah mean
I'm wishing that all the violence would stop
Nah mean

We nuh like the sound of siren
Nah mean
And some bwoy soft like ice cream
Nah mean

From a bwoy mek the feds intervene
Nah mean
We send a bwoy go tek intravene
Nah mean

Parabellum dem a itch up inna spleen
Nah mean
Inna queens, gunman reign supreme
Nah mean

Kingstonians are real blood fiends
Nah mean
The world is a big crime scene
Nah mean

Yo, yo, Mr. President
What you doing for my residence?
Yo, Mr. Minister
Why you being sinister?

Yo, yo, Mr. President
What you doing for my residence?
Yo, Mr. Minister
Why you being sinister?

Se man a di real buffalo inna Rastafari Regime
Bush bungalow is where mi dwell with mi queen
Trash to the bone down inna camouflage green

′Nuff a dem that can't go the places we been
′Nuff a dem that can't see the sights whe we seen
That's why them face all a twist up and a lean

Nah mean
Dem better mine we kick it off clean
Nah mean

Man a Gangster just like Gambine
Dat mean
Dem can′t serve Congo Dread court supine
Nah mean
A who you want come in convene
Nah mean
Attorney have to rock and come in
Nah mean
Mi pocket dem green like spurlene
Nah mean
Mi regular fly out and fly in
Nah mean
The stadium pack like sardine
Nah mean
Can′t catch mi speed a fassy hole need caffeine
Nah mean
Run out a breath and antihistamine
Nah mean
Wash over gold dem come in like Listerine
Nah mean
You think a lie we badder than Al Pacine
Nah mean
It's genocide
It′s a genocide
It's genocide
It′s a genocide
5th Floor cooking raw
Had my own supply 'cause of capitalist ways
That was back in the days
So now I do rap and it pays
