CHORUS…
Now take your hands, and wave ‘em high
They told me I can’t, but I said “why?!”
Like, fuck it, I’ll try…
NOT fuck it and die..
See, this is real emotion we deal wit’
Often, and don’t reveal it..
Often we stuff it inside, but I’m like fuck it.. lets ride..
I— do what I do, because I do what I do what I feel
THEY– do what they do, in hopes of what they do.. they appeal
They got a image, and a personia that they gotta fill
That they better do, for revenue.. so labels will be thrilled
Kind-of-feel like a wanted man…
I can’t talk to folk, cause when I ask ‘em to trust me
All-they-wanna-do-is-judge-me
I’m feeling like they don’t understand
(I’m) feeling like ain’t too many people friendly
I feel like ain’t too many people are what they pretend to be
Cause I’m in that zone, when I feel alone
Like everybody is against me
I just feel like I’m worst enemy
And naw, its not a cry for no sympathy
I’m just thinkin’ outloud, to a crowd– I’m just tryna figure out some remedy
Almost like every lesson, almost like every jewel, every tool..
That’s ever been lent to me..
For the moment, is gone..
I’m like a new born..
I feel like a man wit’ no memory..
Slow it down for a second, make sure I’m not losing you..
Or confusing you, I’m delusional
Ever you never been there, then you have no idea what illusions do..
Through and through, I’m hoping none of these signs aren’t vital..
Or none of these rhymes.. inside the recital..
Why do it mean, I’m sucidial?
I’m ain’t that Houston dude…
But– I’m a MANIAC!
Don’t get over, drunk or sober..
This the same way I’d act..
And I’m strivin’ to pull together..
But atleast until these voices inside of me..
Go forever, be aloft- I’m liable to do whatever.. (c’mon!)

Nas spoke with MTV about his video and future plans, here are some excerpts:
New album is in the making right now,” Nas said Sunday night, sitting in his trailer outside the set of his new video for “Can’t Forget About You.” “07, new Nas album, I can’t wait. I’m not finished. I feel like something is starting right now. This is a momentum and a movement that’s happening out here. I gotta make sure I stay the captain of this ship and push it forward. I’m here at Def Jam, I’m renaming it the Black Oasis. You bring Nas into any situation like the situation that’s at Def Jam and you gonna get nothing but the top of the line.“I’m friends with [Def Jam A&R rep] J. Brown, and he said, ‘Nas wants you to be in the video.’ I said ‘OK,’ ” said Natalie Cole, wearing a black suit, Chuck Taylor sneakers and a pendant of a crown (to pay homage to her famous father). “I hadn’t heard [the song yet]. But I’ve heard of Nas, and I thought it was cool. I knew we had already given the license for the use of ‘Unforgettable.’ I think it’s great every time I see the hip-hop world reaching back and getting great vintage stuff. I think the title ['Can't Forget About You'], it’s appropriate. Then Nas got on the phone, we talked, and here I am.”
Video sounds hot, good look having Natalie Cole in it. New album in 07?, I hope he doesn’t rush it.
