Testo di 'Serious Interlude' di Nas

Uh-huh, yeah
Uh-huh, yeah
Talk to me
Talk to me, yeah

Ladies love cool nas with a tight fade
And I ain't make it past the ninth grade
And I ain't need to have one diamond to bag a dime
And I ain't need a dollar to holler, I made her mine
A rich dude' wife stayed on my block
Talking to me like she ain't scared to get knocked
And she wore all this jewelry, what she see in me?
She look like Sheila E
She looked like she could be, ten years older easily
Her name was, oh well, I don't kiss and tell
But she must'a ran her mouth 'cause every time me and her man cross paths
It's tension in the air, he probably doin' the math
Late night she ventin' to me say he doin' her bad
And I ain't feel a way about it
Told her pray about it
When I crush and she go back home, I hate the silence
Writin' in my notepad flippin' through soul samples
Not knowin' I could get caught in a whole scandal

A serious situation we all go through
We all go through (yeah, we all go through)
A serious situation we all go through
We all, we all

I ain't have to drive a rolls and I took off her clothes
I ain't have to have a house and I was strippin' her down
I was switchin' 'em out
Ig'nant amounts
I guess that's how I was movin', can't say I was proud
Since the days of public school when I was a scruffy dude
I ran with the troubled youth, had shorties and love, it's true
Many had got jealous before I was top sellin'
Before I had touched a million, few niggas caught feelins'
Few niggas bought pussy
Few of 'em bought gifts
And I ain't do none of that, she blew me a soft kiss
But now she want something more, or ready to call it quits
The one I'm with right now, who I'm gettin' lost in

A serious situation we all go through
We all go through (yeah, we all go through)
A serious situation we all go through
(When I risk it all for you)
A serious situation we all go through
We all go through (yeah, we all go through)
A serious situation we all go through

Anything can happen now that you're mine
I be gripping on you crazy

Haven't we all
I was havin' a ball
