Turn my headphones up
Nothin’ gon’ stop me now
Aha
Nothin’ baby
Nas, Brainpower…
I’m here now,
I’m here, it’s your world…
It’s yo world
Ya hear?
Dit is voor al m'n peeps en fans en hers en ders
die verder kijken dan de pers de kudde meningsvorming de herder dit vers
Hoe heftiger de stress des te verder de levensles
zich ontwikkelt des te verder ’t besef
wat moet je zonder liefde beginnen mis geliefden beminnend
in 't diepste van binnen met om in liefde voor zinnen
Vertaal m'n tranen in 't leven in lyrics zwevend woorden banen zich
snel wegen in de geest met lanen en stegen
Binnenin huilt m'n hart z'n weg naar m'n vingers kan 't niet echter verzinnen
Hand om m’n pen, en m'n text kan beginnen
Sirene wenend zwaar naar m’n Brain
van jarenlang een vreemde eend tot een maand op nummer één
Flashbacks van m'n jongenskamer jaren alleen
De dood van geliefden viel met tranen ineen
Je breekt, daar: Wat wou je nou? als je verder gaat
en denkt, na: Hou jij van jou? als je nergens staat
Weg met leeg gepraat ga niet voor geld of de pegels
Ben me bewust van deze verses dus benut elke regel
Je hoort de Brain omdat je 't pure wou
voor iedereen van Nederland tot Kaapverdië, Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao
Suriname Turkije beaam 't blije van Marokko tot Vlaanderen
Afrika tot Aziatische wijken Zuid-Amerika, Europa, USA, wereldwijd
m'n wil blijkt, één vibe, Nas &We know you've heard this beat many, many times
But we bet you've never heard it with such a vicious rhyme
A rhyme with class and plenty of clout
To show you sucher M.C.'s what it's about
We hear the same stories everywhere we go
Hey, it's Nynuk who stole the show
So for all you party people who are in a state of shock
We're The New Kids On The Block!
Chillin' on the corner, the first day we arrived
From the looks of the hoods, we didn't think we'd survive
Second day we were there, we were walking down the street
With a rhyme in mind and a funky beat
But when we turned into the alley, to our surprise
We saw a bunch of hoods right before our eyes
They looked us up and down once, twice and again
There must have been a hundred to a hundred and ten
So, I looked over my shoulder right at my friend
He said 'Nice knowing you' but this is the end
So we battened down the hatches and prepared to fight
Then all of a sudden I seen the light
The time was right, the time to rock
'Cause everybody knows, we're The New Kids On The Block.
We're also devistating when we're on stage
The fans start screaming and yelling with rage
With mic's in hand and rhymes with clout
So watch it sucker MCs or we're gonna turn you out
We never talk trash, our rhymes are clean
Our rhymes are never vague and we say nothing obscene
So any sucker MCs who wanna battle us
Can you go at least 20 lines without a cuss?
Cause once we start to jam, you'll be in a state of shock
Clear the way party people, we're The New Kids On The Block
Move it sucker MCs or you're gonna feel the wrath
So don't get caught up in the aftermath
Cause we're the funky MCs of the hip hop craze
Our rhymes are done by law and are sure to amaze
With a DJ cutting records, steady cross bass
We'll leave all you party people stuck in a daze
I say we're fresh, new a
