Nas – Just Another Moment lyrics

Album: Street's Disciple

[Spoken:]
This is just a moment,
Dedicated to my mother,
My grandmother,
My father,
All my niggas in the pen,
All my niggas that died in the struggle,
We love ya‘ll,

[Verse:]
Can we please have a moment of silence,
(echo)
That’s for my niggas doin’ years of confinement,
For my soldiers that passed over,
No longer livin’,
That couldn’t run,
Whenever the reaper came to get ‘um,
Can we please pour out some liquor,
(echo)
Symbolizing it’s takin’ time to consider that,
Though my thugs ain’t here to love this year,
We gunna rep until slugs kill us here,
This for my dogs,
Stuck in the struggle,
Tryin’ to gain,
Smokin’ trauma,
Sniffin’ rhyme,
While sellin’ cocaine,
Trapped in the game,
Not knowin’ how to stop and get by,
They livin’ the life,
So instead they live it to die,
Can we please have a moment of peace,
(echo)
For every G that fell for his flag in the streets,
Bloodin’ and thuggin’,
Folkin’ and lokin’,
Crippin’ and creepin’,
Lettin’ the king in,
Or just from poor righteous teachin’,

[Chorus:]
As day comes,
And night falls,
For the rest of our lives I’ll miss ya’ll,
And even though life must goes on,
We still mourn,
While wishin’ ya‘ll we‘re,
(echo: ya’ll we’re)
As day comes,
And night falls,
For the rest of our lives I’ll miss ya’ll,
And even though life must goes on,
We still mourn,
While wishin’ ya‘ll we‘re,
(echo: ya’ll we’re)

[Verse:]
Yea,
And can we have another moment of silence,
(echo)
For brothers who died from black on black violence,
From here to the dark continent,
Where rebels sell diamonds,
To clients all through out the world,
Got little black girls dyin’,
And can we please pour some more liquors,
(echo)
For Will, Mokey, Bomb, and Pappy my niggas,
Here’s another warriors song,
From Nasty and Kwon,
It’s to him I pass the baton,
To carry the song,
Streets Disciple,
Salute to those who gone,
With bullets,
And I promise to,
To Rhyme and Kwon,
I rep this life to the fullest,
Can we please have a moment of truth,
(echo)
For soldiers and troops,
Away with helmets and boots,
And families back home,
That pray they make it home safe,
Hopin’ they don’t get hit by stray,
Or missile,
This is just a moment,
To let ya’ all know that we miss you,
Mommy I’m still here,
Wishin’ I was there with you,

[Chorus:]
As day comes,
And night falls,
For the rest of our lives I’ll miss ya’ll,
And even though life must goes on,
We still mourn,
While wishin’ ya‘ll we‘re,
(echo: ya’ll we’re)
As day comes,
And night falls,
For the rest of our lives I’ll miss ya’ll,
And even though life must goes on,
We still mourn,
While wishin’ ya‘ll we‘re,
(echo: ya’ll we’re)

[Verse:]
And can we please have a moment of mourn,
(echo)
For Pac, Biggie, and Pun,
‘Cuz through us they live on,
Jam Master J,
Freaky, TI,
And Aliah,
Big L an‘ Left eye,
When we die we all hope to see ya‘,
Can we please have a moment for children,
(echo)
That got raped or murdered,
Or trapped in the system,
Who never knew their Father,
Never learned to dream,
But got by crack deal’as and dope feans,
For single Mothers who forced to play mom and dad,
Bustin’ their ass,
To give the kid shit she never had,
For my niggas in the pen who hopin’ rhymes will get ‘um signed,
So when released,
They can say bye to a life of crime,
For every Mother that ever held they son,
In the streets bleedin’,
Cryin’ a song of sorrow,
To dark and deep for speakin’,
Just a moment,
Out of the day-to-day struggle,
To let the ones we really care about know we love ‘um,

[Chorus:]
As day comes,
And night falls,
For the rest of our lives I’ll miss ya’ll,
And even though life must goes on,
We still mourn,
While wishin’ ya‘ll we‘re,
(echo: ya’ll we’re)
As day comes,
And night falls,
For the rest of our lives I’ll miss ya’ll,
And even though life must goes on,
We still mourn,
While wishin’ ya‘ll we‘re,
(echo: ya’ll we’re)

[Spoken:]
Yo,
To my baby brother Tec,
You know you was a little Dex nigga,
In the feds,
Big brother holdin’ it down for you boy,
Just come home,
I love you my nigga,
I do this for you and me,
When I shine you shine,
And most important to my sista Tia,
Out there in Iraq,
Just know that we got the babies,
My nephew,
He’s going to be fine,
I’ll put my life and my blood on that,
Love ya’ll,
One.
