Nas- I Can (God's Son)

I heard this song while listening to HitzRadio a few days ago and I felt compelled enough to google it. Yeah I know this song is old, but I stopped listening to Nas several years ago.

I've always felt that Jaheim's song "Fabulous" is the most hypocritical Hip-Hop/R&B track that has been labeled as "inspirational/uplifting" that I've ever come across. I'm not going to compare the two tracks, but telling people that they're "Fabulous" while they're doing things that negatively impact their life isn't something that I respect.

Karl Marx and 2Pac have a few names for people like that...dry.gif

I Can is REAL....the lyrics are REAL...

act your age, don't pretend to be
older than you are, give yourself time to grow
you thinking he can give you wealth, but so
young boys, you can use a lot of help, you know
you thinking life's all about smoking weed and ice
you don't wanna be my age and can't read and write
beggin different women for a place to sleep at night

I'm definitely planning on buying this album. I've always had my head on straight, but I rather listen to positive songs like this than hear the usual "Bling" this "Bling" that songs which seem to dominate the Hip Hop/R&B industry.
