[00:00.000] 作曲 : Nasir Jones/Chauncey Hollis Jr
[00:01.080] [Intro]
[00:01.227] Yeah
[00:11.426] I don't work this hard to be around people I don't like
[00:15.126] Uh, yeah
[00:16.595]
[00:16.993] [Chorus]
[00:17.725] Gotta be a special type nigga to deal with my life
[00:20.568] Gotta be a special type nigga to feel what I write
[00:23.503] Special like my classics
[00:24.815] Special like my listeners who have attachments to my old style
[00:28.727] Won't let me pass it
[00:29.686]
[00:29.787] [Verse 1]
[00:29.911] I don't see the point with weak sayings like
[00:32.045] "All them niggas on top be blocking," or never help, man, stop it
[00:35.577] It's hard watching brothers who smart but think they not
[00:38.301] I need them to realize what they got is a fresh start
[00:41.171] That brother that you claim so powerful
[00:43.090] The one you said he has a whole lot of pull
[00:45.384] Probably already tried to pull his brothers up
[00:48.140] And got betrayed, got snaked, got played
[00:50.268] Meanwhile he balance his challenges, hard to keep himself paid
[00:53.424] It's so hard for him, even though his talent is God-given
[00:56.398] Pardon him, stop putting your faults on him
[00:58.977] What he did to you now?
[01:00.392] The man in him is bringing the kid in you out
[01:02.969] You kid him, he still playin' the victim, you weirdin' me out
[01:06.031] That's what my perspective is, maybe 'cause I'm a specialist
[01:08.765] Sippin' mixed liquor beverages
[01:10.396] Six figure checks are big, but eight figure checks and you rich
[01:12.844] The Nas enthusiasts thinkin' they know what's best for me
[01:15.618] More than I know what's best for me, no rest for me
[01:17.607]
[01:17.719] [Chorus]
[01:17.859] Gotta be a special type nigga to deal with my life (Yo, yo)
[01:20.412] Gotta be a special type nigga to feel what I write
[01:23.257] Special like my classics
[01:24.656] Special like my listeners who have attachments to my old style
[01:28.744] Won't let me pass it
[01:29.869]
[01:30.148] [Post-Chorus]
[01:30.274] Special (Yo, yo)
[01:32.818] Yeah, it's a privilege, VSOP shit (Yo)
[01:36.926] Special (Yo, yo)
[01:40.282] Very special (Yo)
[01:41.198]
[01:41.521] [Verse 2]
[01:42.023] Hit, turn up the sample, we makin' magic
[01:44.954] This thing is bigger than I could ever imagine
[01:47.750] Duckin' the flashes from the cameras, leave out the back
[01:50.703] Jump in a spacecraft, we can't tell where we at
[01:53.508] Chauffeur drivin' like a high-speed chase, truck full of smack
[01:56.719] Tallest buildin' in Manhattan, sippin' on Manhattan's
[01:59.150] Listen to The Manhattan's, Queens to Brooklyn, oh what a feelin'
[02:02.566] I shoulda had Grammy's when Ol' Dirty said "Wu for the children"
[02:05.582] Shoulda did that remix verse on Gimme the Loot for Biggie
[02:08.468] Me, Jay, and Frank White is like Cole, Drizzy, and Kenny
[02:11.737] One girl for the rest of your life, is that realistic?
[02:14.736] Some had told me they like when you call 'em all types of bitches
[02:17.770] Ran through a few of them, some gangsta, some Christian
[02:20.735] Some with a heart full of hate for me, even with a new nigga
[02:23.832] They label me a sinner because I left with they soul
[02:26.636] There's really no other feelin' havin' that type of control, nigga
[02:29.430]
[02:29.591] [Chorus]
[02:29.755] Gotta be special type woman to deal with my life
[02:32.498] Gotta be special type woman to feel what I write
[02:35.384] Special like my classics
[02:36.673] Special like my listeners who have attachments to my old style
[02:40.649] Won't let me pass it
[02:41.854] Gotta be a special type nigga to deal with my life
[02:44.420] Gotta be a special type nigga to feel what I write
[02:47.375] Special like my classics
[02:48.821] Special like my listeners who have attachments to my old style
[02:52.665] Won't let me pass it
[02:53.854]
[02:54.004] [Post-Chorus]

[02:56.459] Yeah, it's a privilege, VSOP shit
[03:00.728] Special, very special
[03:05.283]
[03:05.601] [Outro]
