“DNA of King James, kin of Saint Michael / Polygamous-minded, seven wives on ridiculous timin’ / They always share the same title, that be the whiskey talk / That’s foul like I stopped and frisked New York / At twenty, I said I’d better quit by thirty / Then by thirty, I thought by forty rapping is corny,” raps Nas.
At the end of the song, the duo also teases a joint album between the two. ” Ayy, yo, Preem, chill / I got the rhymes, you got the beats / Aight / Thirty years later, we back in the streets, we back in the lab / Aight then, let’s go Nas / It’s time / It’s album time, yeah / Premier album still gon’ happen.”
