Thun Songtext
von Nas

Thun (Queens in the house)
Queensbridge, baby (Queens in the house)
No doubt (Queens in the house), no doubt, no doubt

Not niggas I really met through music shit
It′d be some real thugs I grew up with
Phone calls from the feds, long stories told fast
Wishin' they′d get home in a hurry, 'cause we're the last
Of a dyin′ pack of lions, nightmares of the cast
Thoroughbred survivin′, you know (Queens in the house)

Welcome home Ronny Bumps, and love the Callie
That boss ordered us lobster tails late night in forty
We was out there tryna rig the strеss
Had a beat tape from Stretch, rеst
Black TEC, black vest to match the dark aura
We hit the city deep in the explorer
Lookin' at The Source, wish I was the cover story
That was comin′ shortly, cars back then had raw packed in
Rest in peace a few good men
The guards (Queens) stalk him (in the house)


I pop a bottle, we're not promised tomorrow
Showin′ love is the motto, flex a Cowboy hat
Strap like Desperados
They lit one out the chamber, no eye or fire
Then a vegetation state, when that man China died
Stomped out on 12th Street, memory fails me
Heard homie was a real G, that's what they tell me
I was the one to run through the functions, no funny actin′
And it was me in that introduced many
(Queens) to money bags (in the house)

Grandmaster Vic (Queens in the house)
The DJ's Disco Twins (Queens in the house)
From the towers to promènade (Queens in the house)
Host a party up at Starlets, they know Queens in the house
No beef or rivals, they playin' Ether on TIDAL
Brothers can do anythin′, when they decide to
In a Range Rover, dissectin′ bars from Takeover
Sometimes I text Hova, like nigga, they're saying
Hova laughing
I had to hold it down for Queens, ′cause I over-value friends


Shout to Brooklyn, all between, hoods be over lappin'
Subways be stacked and I ain′t been on a train in decades
And I can still hear the wheels on the tracks (Queens in the house)
Feel the beat brakes, serial defaced for Jinx
The license I carry still ain't safe in New York state
It′s still a lot of ways to manage the life expectancy average
The future of our next generation, they'd been established
Conflicted by some of the same patterns that had us
Money and social status, tell me what really matters
So who are you when they turn of all the cameras?

With me, you know the answers (Queens in the house)
Go ask Tony Bennett (Queens in the house)
Terrace on the porch, they gotta know (Queens in the house)
DJ Clue, Envy, and Camillo (Queens in the house)
Where are my most beautiful Queens in the house?
When you see me at awards or a popular place
I see chains shinin', I wanna stock it over my face
Coordinated, try to see me by some popular names

For a second, I′ma want some shit like it was back in the days
When dudes who′d really put that thing up to your rib cage
And pull a switch blade, do anythin', it′s the 'Bridge way
But I go stu′, roll through, just sold out the O2
Piece on my neck in a high-tech (Queens in the) Pollo suit (house)
Drove down Vanwick, Colosseum and Sam Smith's
Tan blick in the desert brick town where my man′s live

Not niggas I really met through music shit
It 'd be some real thugs I grew up with
Phone calls from the feds, long stories told fast
Wishin' they′d get home in a hurry, ′cause we're the last
Of a dyin′ pack of lions, nightmares of the cast
Thoroughbred survivin', you know (Queens in the house)

So no doubt, no doubt (cage in the) no (heart) doubt, no doubt
Queens in the house
No doubt, no doubt (cage in the) no (heart) doubt, no doubt

I′m on some shit, boy, make it a classic tonight
That money gettin' burrowed by that action, that′s right
Thunderous (What up Thunny-Thun-Thun?)
Mad thunderous (okay now)
Manhattan keeps on makin' it (yeah)
Brooklyn keeps on takin' it (yeah)

Bronx keeps creatin′ it (yeah)
And Queens keep on cakin′ it
Shouts to the West side
To the Six Burrow, far rocks
Southside and Northside (Queens in the house)
