Adam and Eve lyrics

[Verse 1: Nas]

The ghetto Othello, the Moor

Oh my God, they speak venomous on the boy

Oh my Lord, my enemy is fear, and I'm sure

Oh my God, they want the end of me 'cause I'm pure

Oh my Lord, discipline for the win, I just go for it

It's a trend for these men to die on their own sword

Journey far, learn who you can be

But you can learn who you are when you around family

Chip off their shoulders and soldiers, on they grizzle

My granddaddy Mack Little married Nannie Little

They passed down wisdom, blessings were given

Pray my sins don't get passed to my children

I made a killin', I'm alive like the morning star

Court Jordan's for the price on stock, so what the Hornets are?

I need evaluations, I'm savvy, y'all

Eatin' foie gras and caviar, listen

[Chorus: The-Dream]

Adam and Eve

Don't fall too far from the apple tree, ayy

Adam and Eve, Adam and Eve

Don't fall too far from the apple tree, apple tree

[Verse 2: Nas]

The ghosts of gangsters dance

Chinchillas shake on the hanger, the force of this banger

Yeah, my language advanced, my cadence amazin'

The voice triggers somethin', what is this conundrum?

The clouds scurry, your spirit rumble, a boyish smile

Still puff the loud, it's nothin' less than a quarter pound

Savage narrative, every verse that I write bursts light

Brings awareness to my personal life

After my morning walk, Havana cigar, the ganja spark

See my doctor more, sweatin' the sauna or the spa

Spendin' fifty large at the Bellagio

Spent twenty on a bad bitch I hardly know

New girl every night, two girls was every other night

Sexual addiction, gangster tradition

They wanna fuck me, have me under they belt, slightly offended

Yeah, that's how I felt, that's how it ended

I'm just good at existin', existin' in my truth

As long as I enjoy the fruit, yeah

[Chorus: The-Dream]

Adam and Eve

Don't fall too far from the apple tree, ayy

Adam and Eve, Adam and Eve

Don't fall too far from the apple tree, apple tree

[Verse 3: Nas]

What come first, peace or the paper?

Before I had a piece of paper, peace was in my favor

Before I sat to eat at the table, it had leeches and traitors

Cut the fat from the meat, extract the weak, bon appetit

No bacon, brothers is swine

It's so hard to trust 'em 'cause my hustle is mine

It's evident they all the same, with gray hair and still mean muggin'

Gray hairs of wisdom, that means you seen somethin'

Say somethin', you stay frontin'

But these clowns got false crowns, fictitional kings

You broke my heart, Fredo

You bring this thing of ours down to a fable

Be advised my guys dyin', enterprisin' at a boss's table

There's always room at my table

Insecurities is keepin' you disabled

All this money to get, is it less time?

They ain't stopped printin' money, 'cause they made mine

I learned to stretch time, these are the best times

I'm in my neighborhood in stadiums, the Mets' kind

With restaurants and Carbone, spicy rigatoni

Go hard, a red Bordeaux, oh God

[Chorus: The-Dream]

Adam and Eve

Don't fall too far from the apple tree, ayy

Adam and Eve, Adam and Eve

Don't fall too far from the apple tree, apple tree
