"Life Is Good",l'undicesimo album del rapper Nas,è stato ben accolto da pubblico e critica con il primo posto negli States e l'ottavo in Uk.Dal disco del 38enne di Brooklyn non ascoltiamo come al solito un singolo,ma una canzone "nascosta" nella tracklist,incisa con Amy Winehouse,una delle ultime registrate dalla diva pop-soul tragicamente scomparsa.Il binomio su una classica e scarna base urban-R&B funziona davvero bene.

TESTO
[Amy Winehouse]
Where is he
The man who’s just like me
Heard he is hiding somewhere I can’t see
Where is he
The man who’s just like me
Heard he is hiding somewhere I can’t see
And I’m alone
And I realize that when I get home
I wanna go through my red and my cherry
Yes I’m alone
And I realize that when I get home
I wanna go through my red and my cherry
[Nas]
I want some who like the champagne I like
My a alike, someone to talk me off the bridge
Any day or night
She teach me how to live, she ain’t afraid of life
Not easily impressed with the rich and famous life
Cause she done been there and heard all the rumors before
She love when she ride out with me on my music tour
She like the herbs natural medicine, she cooking good
She tell me everything is cool and looking good
For real, the world so ill
And I want a girl so real,
Who not after material wealth, but get dough still
Or maybe an educator, a lady with …
Who can be out the hood, or even work for the president
As long as there’s no selfishness
Yes, as long as I’m love with the people
It’s deep moving than evident
You can be easily recruited, you’re heaven scent
Your smile, put me on ease
You’re the woman I need, but where is she
[Amy Winehouse]
Where is he
The man who’s just like me

Where is he
The man who’s just like me
Heard he is hiding somewhere I can’t see
And I’m alone
And I realize that when I get home
I wanna go through my red and my cherry
Yes I’m alone
And I realize that when I get home
I wanna go through my red and my cherry
[Nas]
I hate when people write me hostile texts on the counter
My lifestyle’s perception
Invade my personal life…rather be expected
I be tryna reply them, they never suppose I get my quiet timing
They think forever I’m rolling in dough
Swimming in a pool of cash
God, …my fool of as,
I well know, got people coming at me mad
I had a tell homes, I don’t keep a cell phone
My bad, I drag, off the … try to silence it
The noise of my head, the curse of the talented
Strong communicator, vagabond, like …
Round the Equator, and that would get me off the radar
It’s so intense, I’m on my Lilo and Stitch
Pull my Peter grizzy on Christmas, and … is this
A immaculate version of me and my baby, with all respecting you
That only wanna kiss me
[Amy Winehouse]
Where is he
The man who’s just like me
Heard he is hiding somewhere I can’t see
Where is he
The man who’s just like me
Heard he is hiding somewhere I can’t see
And I’m alone
And I realize that when I get home
I wanna go through my red and my cherry
Yes I’m alone
And I realize that when I get home
I wanna go through my red and my cherry
[Nas]
Yeah, yeah, let’s pour some cherry wine
Everything’s good, everything’s fine
Yeah, yeah we bring it every time
Yeah, pour a little cherry wine
He yo … yea, I think they know the time
Everything’s good, everything’s fine
Yeah, pour a little cherry wine
Life is good, life is good, yeah
Life is good, no matter what
Life is good, life is good
Life if good, yeah
No matter what
Life is good
[Amy Winehouse]
Where is he
The man who’s just like me

Where is he
The man who’s just like me
Heard he is hiding somewhere I can’t see
And I’m alone
And I realize that when I get home
I wanna go through my red and my cherry
Yes I’m alone
And I realize that when I get home
I wanna go through my red and my cherry
