Self Conscience - Prodigy: Nas Lyrics

Prodigy & Nas---Self Conscience 

[Prodigy] 
Yo.. 
Is it ill, do it need to be fixed? 
(That shit is real Dunn; and stop talkin like your skills don't kill) 
Nah it's just that sometimes I feel like that 
I can write more fouler than the last 

[Prodigy's "Conscience"] 
Yo that shit is cash trust me Dunn; I'll never lead you astray 
Take my word niggaz wanna hear how you think 
It be that shit that you wouldn't expect to win 
that stay playin in they decks over and again 
Speak your thoughts, put your all in it 
Whatever's in your mind, spit it 
Place your anger on the page, release tension on the tape 
A stress verse, seem to be what they most thirst 
Makes fake niggaz disperse, they never challenge what works 

[Prodigy] 
Balancin the weakness, is what I specialize in 
Dunn you my nigga cause you keep me hype when I'm writin 
Kept me on point in the night when it might go down 
Keep me eyes wide in the daytime as well 
Kept me focused on what's real and nuttin else 
I find it healthy, to conversate with myself 
I kick it with my delf (I kept you alive, all these years) 
It's that inner voice you shoulda took head to and shit 
Coulda been home instead of bleedin 
Maybe next time you'll listen when it speaks 

[Prodigy's "Conscience"] 
Yo Dunn, I got a story to tell 
Remember last week's mission? I told you bring the gun 
(Yeah I remember) Nah listen, without me you'd be a memory 
I'm the one you could come to for guidance 
Bring you home alive when you wildin 
Kept you out of harm's way, told you when to spray 
Told you when it's time to put it away 
and when the cops came, you was safe 

[Prodigy] 
Without question, I stay aware Dunn I'm listenin 
Everytime we speak it's real, I know your intention's 
to make sure we both safe and livin, and breathin 
You gets all respect from me Dunn, believe it 

[Prodigy's "Conscience"] 
Yo we got kids to raise and bills to pay 
Enemies to lay down when they stand in our way, it's only us 
(What about the click?) Now if you die is they comin? 
When you shot do they feel the bullet? 
And when you broke can they fix it? Aight then, you keep writin 
and let me do the thinkin, I brought us this far without mistaken 

[Nas] 
Voices in my head from choices that I dreaded choosin 
Cautions I shoulda took head, lost in my weed, steady losin 
Thug stripes, badges of honor, forces to succeed 
Whores on they knees, fuckin with millionaires, killers and thieves 
I fuck until there's no feelin where, I bust and I pee 
I lusted cars but I suffered and my scars run deep 
I stay to myself, one deep, pray to my God cause he 
say when it's hard get on one knee, and ask Thy for forgiveness 
Fuck the cash, the ice, the Ferrari's 
with two-twenty on the dash when your life ain't right 
See niggaz smile up in your face and stick a knife in your back 
Snakes shake your hand and got his dick up in your wife back 
Why's it like that? It's life black, this is the game 
The way I see it both bitches and niggaz, is the same 
I trust myself, I can't fuck myself 
When hoes leave and no weed I still know me, just myself 
Fear is weakness learn from what experience teaches 
Beware of leaches, the vampires, my secret's 
never follow, cause most niggaz is straight up cowards 
Take care of my body's the temple my mind is the power
