Where Are They Now Songtext
von Nas

Hit me
Uh, two times
Oh, yeah, uh
Hit me

Red head kingpin, Tim Dogg? Have you seen ′em?
Kwame, King T, or King Son
Superlover C, Cassanova Run
Antwoinette, Rob Base never showin' up
You seen Black Sheep, Group Home, Busy B?
Ask Ill and Al Scratch "Where my Homies?"
Leave it to y′all, these niggas left for dead
Last week, my man swore he saw Special Ed


Rap is like a ghost town, real mystic
Like these folks never existed
They the reason that rap became addictive
Play they CD or wax and get lifted
I recommend when ya kid turn ten
Let him hear Spice one, made plenty noise
Positive K, Father MC, The Skinny Boys
Where are they now?

Hey! Where are one, we are out now
Where are they now?
Hey! Hit me, oh, we are out now
Hit me!

See, I remember them forever
The original Spinderella
Lakim Shabazz, 9 Double M, Fu-Schnickens
Buckshot, Finesse and Sequence
Who was a rappin' duke? Daha
Silk tie and leather was cute
Body and soul was Dee from Pump It Up's group

Oaktown 357, J.J. Fad too
Had pop hits and gold ropes
Where my man Young MC and Tone Loc?
Kris Kross, the boss, divine styler
Def Jef of course, let′s break it down ta
Mic Geronimo, Pharcyde and Coolio
I heard Craig Mack back in the studio


Have you seen these lost MC′s
Funky Four Plus One, Force M.D.'s
Miss Melody, I hope she packin′ a bankroll
As well as educated rap for ice and Kangol
Shante she from around my way yo
EPMD, K-Solo, where are they now?

Hey! Where are one, we are out now
Where are they now?
Hey! Hit me, oh, we are out now
QK
Hit me

First off this ain't no diss record
This for some of my homies that were misrepresented
Legends of the game
You know? What up to Moe Dee the legend
Rest in peace Cowboy

Yeah, all the rappers, male, female, DJ′s, everybody
Rest in peace Jam Master Jay, the whole crew, word up
Juice crew all-Stars, MC Shan, Tragedy, Craig G
(Two times) yeah, nigga, yeah, nigga
Shan what up, baby? Where are they now?
