In Between Us lyrics

[Verse 1: Nas]
Circ*mstances are like my first fight I lost
It was swinging, my arms bugging, adrenaline pumping
Oh sh*t, this little n*gga's thugging
I mean, I was thirteen, I was nursing a knot on my face
But chose another time and a place
That I would avenge my last fight cuz the same sh*t
Ain't gonna happen that just happened last night
Knuckle game changed quicker than lightning
Hit 'em or slice 'em
Either stick 'em or blast pipes, it's the fastlife
I try to give another n*gga advice, shoot dice
Do plenty of sh*t cause this life, how many you get?
How many n*ggas do you know get two?
Besides a n*gga who snitch to skip a life-bid, be one a' your crew
I don't respect killers, I respect O.G. knowledge
Codes of the streets got new rules, but no guidance
Lessons, detrimental to a young disciple
Focus, take care of your brothers, n*ggas do as I do
Keep your enemies close, where they can see you
It's not your enemy who get you
It's always your own people

[Bridge: Nas]
It's always your own people
It's always your own people
It's always your own people
It's always your own people
[Hook: Tanya Herron]
Mass confusion, in my head
Killing me, driving me mad
Got me wondering, can I trust my friends?
Cuz they stick me in my back every chance they get
Am I paranoid? And if that's the case
Is it curable? Can you help me find my place?
I can't handle this, I'm losing it
With a loose grip I'm hanging on to emptiness
Help your brother, save him from the
Evil demons in between us, came between us

[Verse 2: Scarface]
I know you hate me, don't you?
I bet you sit and wish my time never came
You'd probably rather see me die in the game
You'd probably rather see me die in a plane
Than to see me up on top of my dough
I get my money, sh*t changed
And n*ggas start looking at me different than this
And downplay the real n*gga sh*t to get with a b*tch
But I'mma tell a motherf*cker like this
You only good as what you come up against
n*gga you get what you get
Sure the grass is greener on the other side of the fence
But any attempts and you gonna need the guy in the trench
I'm a starter while you riding the bench
You saying you a player, well I'm the one designing your prints
Something to go by, to let these n*ggas know I
Don't believe in letting sh*t slide, n*gga gonna die
Best friends since high school seniors
With a homeboys demeanor
But let the bullsh*t come between us
[Hook: Tanya Herron]
Mass confusion, in my head
Killing me, driving me mad
Got me wondering, can I trust my friends?
Cuz they stick me in my back every chance they get
Am I paranoid? And if that's the case
Is it curable? Can you help me find my place?
I can't handle this, I'm losing it
With a loose grip I'm hanging on to emptiness
Help your brother, save him from the
Evil demons in between us, came between us

[Outro: Scarface]
