Kids In Da PJ's - Nas: Bravehearts': Millennium Thug Lyrics

Nas, Bravehearts & Millenium Thug---Kids In Da P.J.'s 

[chorus] 
To the kids in the p.j.'s 
ghetto children i know it ain't easy 
ya'll wanting millions 
sunshine turns to rain 
its ghetto pain 
when a one time raise 
sometimes the young is slain 

To the kids in the p.j.'s black babies 
brought up in this world where it's wild and crazy child of the Nile 
future lifestyle looks hazey 
dreams to drive a Mercedes 
with a pile of ladies 

[NAS] 
Third grade singing star spangled banner 
using proper manners 
learnt to handle anger animal behavior 
later on my block rocking with my jocks on 
eating Bon Ton chesse popcorn 
humming a KISS rock song 
socks long to my knees 
summer breeze running through the leaves playing freeze tag 
can I stay out please dad 
can I hang out with my little gang out 
hearing shots rang out 
heard my moms call my name out 
come upstairs run up stairs 
take a bath shit stained underwear 
wipe yourself with paper bad 
little ass in my bed at 8:30 wash my plate 
ate dinner up late 
gazing at the wall praying basketball 
was my future for this young one 
hooping in the sun 
proud to be where I come from 
later shooting guns fantasizing 
fascinated by gold rope chains 
looking back at my hood days 
but things aint changed 

[chorus] 

[Millenium Thug] 

In my hood niggaz smoke wood 
nothing is good 
look at my eys and see what I could 
living my life and feel what I felt 
the hand that I was dealt 
drama that my uncle Shabazz had 
I was a little lad 
niggaz shooting through my Grams window shattering glass 
had the chicken pox 
on that toy horse that rocks 
my moms grabbed me down to safety 
everybody in the crib was going crazy 
that was in the 80's 
and now im 17 
money cash dreams 
niggaz be slave 
I be brave spit like A.K.'s and S.K.'s 
close range niggaz see brains 
Millenium Thugs the name 
but now it's slash cocaine 
blast niggaz in vaine 
satch yo' chain 
cherrish the life 
my niggaz got a fetish for ice 
turn out the lights 
I bust so I could spar up the night 
uniting the pipes 
Queensbridge niggaz is sheist 
need no price body yall dudes on spite 
who knew I would of spazzed out 
little Nayshawn owner of the crack house 

get my papes on 
tired of 'friderators all the steaks gone 

[Wiz] 
Now picture this shit 
with six Aunts five Uncles 
thugging a double apartment out 
kids, cousins, and brothers 
there I go in the pamper by the radiator 
cursing eatin first 
little nigga with a appetite that got worst 
firs day of school ten man cliq 
all i'm learning is how to extort shit 
'cuz class i forefit 
graduated on another level 
selling birds busting birds 
fuck with the herbs 
never we fuck up the herbs 
make 'em pay like you 
stick 'em up get down 
since ten was taught to turn 'em around 
rip they pockets out 
bust two the way they run 
I ain't give a fuck that's how I was 
I was young 

[chorus] 

[Horse] 
Horse was born as a brave child 
big for my size 
a bully to little guys 
with chocolate miks and apple pies 
the playground was mine 
I stayed scarred up all the time 
from shopping carts flipping 
now we race to the finish line 
hated playing cooties 'cuz that shit 
wasn't fun all the honey's say i'm it 
then they little ass run 
I was sweared to put a hickey on the ones 
that I caught 
I was a nasty little nigga I learned to hump before I walk 
kept a sling shot on my side to shoot 
squirrles and cats 
wanted to be Captain America with the 
Shillinger hat I started getting older fell 
more in love with the streets 
infactuated by the ropes and the shiny 
gold teeth I was to big to break dance 
fuck spiining on my back 
my role models now run numbers and sell 
crack this project child blessed 
chasing ghetto success 
he needs a name for himself 
to ge the same respect
