But I'm a righteous son, despite I'm in the mist of
Dudes who switch up and change
They want to carry me like I'm some kind of lame
I never let them know, I just forgive them though
Either that or the pistol blow
The craziest things already happened to me
So either you'll be laughing at me or you're laughing with me, ha
^^Basically. Nas is like... reflecting on his entire life on this album and he's not selling himself short... he's saying he has lived a wild life and he's just looking to make peace on some level.
