מילים לשיר Just A Moment – Nas

Can we please have a moment of silence?
That's for my niggaz doin' years in confinement
That couldn't run whenever the reaper came to get 'em
And for my soldiers who passed over, no longer living
Can we please pour out some liquor?
And we gon' rep 'til slugs kill us here
Symobolizin', let's take in time to consider that
Though our thugs ain't here, the love is here
This for my dawgs stuck in the struggle tryin' to gain
Trapped in the game, not knowin' how to stop and get by
Smokin' trauma, sniffin' Ra while sellin' cocaine
Can we please have a moment of peace?
To live it alive, so instead they live it to die
Bloodin' and thuggin', folkin' and lokin'
For every G that fell for his flag in the streets
Crypin' and creepin', Latin and kingin'
Or just for poor righteous teachin' (As days goes and nights fall
For the rest of our life we'll miss y'all
And even though life must go on, we'll still mourn While wishin' y'all were home
(Verse 2: Nas)
Yeah, and can we have another moment of silence?
For brothers who died from blackFrom here to the Dark Continent were rebels sell diamonds
To clients allover the world, got little Black girls dyin'
And can we please pour some more liquors?
For Will, Bokeem, Bar, Pappy It's to him I pass the baton to carry this on
Here's another Warrior Song from Nasty and Quan
Street's Disciple, salute to those who's gone with bullets
And can we please have a moment of truth?
And I promise through rhymin' Quan gon' rep his life to the fullest
For soldiers and troops away with helmets and boots
And families back home who pray they make it home safe
Hopin' that they don't get hit with a stray or missiles
This is just a moment to let you all know that we miss you
Mommy I'm still here, wishin' I was there with you
Let's take 'em home (Verse 3: Quan) And can we please have a moment to mourn?
For Pac, Biggie and Pun 'cause through us they live on
Jam Master Jay, Freaky Ty and Alliyah
Big L and Left Eye, when we die we wish to see ya
Can we please have a moment for children?
Who got raped or murdered, or trapped in the system
But was guided by drug dealers, killers and crack fiends
Who never knew their father, never learned to dream
For single mothers that's forced to play mom and dad
So when released, they can say bye to a life of crime
Bustin' her ass to give her kids shit she never had
For my niggaz in the pen hopin' rhymes'll get 'em signed
For very mother that held a son in the street bleedin'
Cryin' a song of sorow to dark and deep for speakin'
To let the ones we really care about know that we love 'em
Just a moment outside the day to day struggle.
