Lyrics of 'Thun' by Nas

Thun (queens in the house)
Queensbridge baby (queens in the house)
No doubt
No doubt, no doubt, no doubt (queens in the house)

Not niggas I really met through music shit
It be some real thuns I grew up with
Phone calls from the feds, long stories told fast
Wishin' they get home in a hurry 'cause we the last
Of a dyin' pack of lions, nightmares of the cast
Thoroughbreds survivin', you know?
(Queens in the house)

Welcome home, ronnie bumps
And love to corley, that boss ordered us lobster tails late night in 40
We was out there tryin' to rid the stress
Had a beat tape from stretch
Rest, black tec, black vest, to match the dark aura
We hit the city deep in the explorer
Lookin' at the source, wish I was the cover story, that was comin' shortly
Cars back then had raw packed in
Rest in peace a few good men, the God starkim
(Queens in the house)
I pop a bottle, we're not promised tomorrow
Showin' love is the motto
Flex a cowboy hat, strapped like desperados
They ain't lit one out the chamber
No iron fired, in a vegetative state
When that man china died
Stomped out on 12th street
Memory fails me
Heard homey was a real g, that's what they tell me
I was the one to run through the functions, no funny actin'
And it was me that introduced many to money bags and
(Queens in the house)

Grandmaster vic
(Queens in the house)
The DJ's disco twins
(Queens in the house)
From the towers to promenade
(Queens in the house)
Post a party up at starlets, they know queens in the house

No beef or rivals, they playin' ether on tidal
Brothas can do anything when they decide to
In a range rover dissecting bars from takeover
Sometimes I text hova, like nigga, this ain't over, laughin'
I had to hold it down for queens 'cause I overvalue fiends
Shout to brooklyn, all between hoods be overlappin'
Subways be stacked, and I ain't been on a train in decades
And I can still hear the wheels on the tracks
(Queens in the house)
Feel the beat breaks, serial defaced for jakes
A license to carry still ain't safe in New York state
It's still a lot of ways to manage the life expectancy average
The future of our next generation ain't been established
Conflicted by some of the same patterns that had us
Money and social status, tell me what really matters
So who are you when they turn off all the cameras?
With me, you know the answers
(Queens in the house)
Go ask tony bennett
(Queens in the house)
Terrace on the park, they gotta know
(Queens in the house)
DJ clue, envy, and camilo
(Queens in the house)
Where all my most beautiful queens in the house

When you see me at awards or a popular place
I see chains shinin', I wanna stockin' over my face
Coordinator tried to see me about some popular names
For a second I'm on some shit like it was back in the days
When dudes would really put that thing up to your rib cage
Or pull a switchblade, do anything, it's the bridge way
But I goes stu, roll through, just sold out the 02
Piece on my neck in a hi tech polo suit
(Queens in the house)
Drove down van wyck
Coliseum & stan smiths
Tan blick in the desert, bricktown where my mans live

Not niggas I really met through music shit
It be some real thuns I grew up with
Phone calls from the feds, long stories told fast
Wishin' they get home in a hurry 'cause we the last
Of a dyin' pack of lions, nightmares of the cast
Thoroughbreds survivin', you know?
(Queens in the house)

No doubt
(Queens in the house)
No doubt, no doubt, no doubt
(Queens in the house)
No doubt
(Queens in the house)
No doubt, no doubt, no doubt

I'm on some shit, boy
Makin' a classic tonight
That money getting borough 'bout that action, that's right

Thunderous
What up thunny thun thun
Mad thunderous
Okay, now
Manhattan keeps on makin' it
Brooklyn keeps on takin' it
Bronx keeps creatin' it
And queens keep on cakin' it
Shouts to the west side
To the 6 borough, far rock
South side and north side
(Queens in the house)
