Just an absolute perfect song. Rhythm, lyrics, substance, meaning, harmonization, and beautiful rap poetry. Had the privilege of watching Marley and Nas perform this live in 2010 at Williamsburg waterfront park, my home neighborhood born and bred. Beautiful experience backed by beautiful music...and women. Nas is majestic on this and Junior Gong lays it down. Life is good.
I agree with you. Slept on is right. No respect for real quality work such as this album. Only respect for garbage on the radio. Still bumping in 2020.

My biggest problem is my feet stumble on these shoulders of Giants I stand on. How can I, crumble even knowing what was hidden from them.. While they were able to endure the unimaginable. I gotta strengthen my faith
the real meaning in this song is that, Africans were divided and in the process they (Africans) developed hatred for their fellow Africans. just imagine if South African were to travel to Nigeria free and work there, or a Ghanaian were to travel to Ethiopia and live there as an African not as a Ghanian. we would be so united as Africans

Cool
A real slept on album. Still bumping 2018.
Brian Sykes me too I'm the biggest nas fan but I never took the time to listen to this joint I'm sorry lol
In 2019!😃
I never slept, you wouldn't have if you really heard it. Welcome to the fam
I agree with you. Slept on is right. No respect for real quality work such as this album. Only respect for garbage on the radio. Still bumping in 2020.
2021. Such a beautiful album.
Imagine listening to this album and still not being convinced Nas is the greatest rapper ever! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Like Wtf is wrong with you?
and people say Nas isn't better than Jay Z 😂
compared to nas jay z is a child. meaning he sounds like achild or a young teen. while nas sounds mature n more intelligence
People confuse rapping ability and impact. Jay Z had more impact on hip hop than anyone. But on lyricism Nas is superior
Jay Z is an all rounder. He is good in all aspects of the game.
agree no homo but Nas is a great lyricist and has the looks and let's just be honest Jay z looks like Mr potato Head with good business skills
Jesse Rivera Haaaa! True enough, Jay's aint no face to wake up to
how hard is this song..Big up Africa

O Gosh
Ye the Promise Land
Yeaha the Promise Land
Ooo
[VERSE 2 NAS]
Promised Land I picture Porsches
Basquiat Portraits
Pinky Rings realistic princesses
Heiresses bunch a Kings and Queens
Plus I picture fortunes for kids out in Port-Au-Prince
Powerless they not allowed to fit
But not about to slip
Vision Promised Land with fashion like
Madison Ave Manhattan
Saks 5th Ave and
Rodeo
Relaxing popping labels
Promise Land no fables
This where the truth's told
Use them two holes
Above your nose
To see the proof yo!
Imagine a contraption that could take us back when
The world was run by black men
Back to the future
Anything can happen
If these are the last days
And 100-foot waves come crashing down
I get some hash and pounds
Pass around the bud then watch the flood
Can't stop apocalypse
My synopsis is catastrophic
If satellites is causing earthquakes
Will we survive it
Honestly man it's the sign of the times
And the times at hand
[Hook 3 SAMPLE]
There's alot of work to be done, O gosh
In the Promised Land
In the Promised Land
O Gosh
Take me to The Promise Land
Ye the Promise Land
O Gosh now

Hey

There's plenty of land for you and I

The masses ask if the most high is on his way here
I'm trying to stay clear, my mind is my modern day spear
Hey I say, dispear, huh!
Now it's back to what comes natural
Must survive any how you have to
Dispear, desperation but I have no fear when I hold this spear
So, rise up to my defense
Hollow pointed is my preference
Should have been deterred don't know what you heard
Get referred by the wrong reference
When this spear start dispense
It a fly and a tear through fence
Dismember your members and all of your limbs body bust inna nuff segments
Well, man a run drugs man a run risk
Man all a run out a time and ends
Man a run up and down and a run fi dem life and a run down this month rent
Nothin' nah gwan a yard and food deh a road then man hafi go touch pavement
Dispear was a tool that was used to enslave man and mek manservant
Escape from despair and desperation becomes more urgent
Mankind needs to cleanse and wash out dem soul with spiritual detergent
A distant army a distant relative controlling the circumference
And any man move with no permission they're feeling the circumstance of
Dispear, hey
Senegal🇸🇳2021💪🏿🙏🏾💯
