Nas – Cherry Wine Lyrics

[Amy Winehouse]

Where is he?

The man who was just like me

I heard he is hiding somewhere I can’t see

Where is he

The man who was 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

[Verse 1: 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

Yeah I want a girl so real

Who not after material wealth, but get dough still

Or maybe an educator, a lady with etiquette

Who can be out the hood, or even work for the president

As long as there’s no selfishness

Yes, as long as her love for the people is deep rooted and 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 - Chorus]

[Verse 2: Nas]

I hate when people write me hostile texts on the count of my lifestyle’s perception

Invade my personal life? whatever expected

I be tryna reply them, and they never suppose I get my quiet time in

They think forever I’m rolling in dough, swimming in a pool of cash

God, wouldn’t they know, or am I a fool or ass

I’m well known, got people coming at me mad

I had a tell homes, I don’t keep a cell phone

My bad, I drag, off the l and try to silence it

The noise of my head, the curse of the talented

Strong communicator, vagabond, I gallivant around the equator

And that would get me off the radar

It’s so intense, I’m on my Lilo and Stitch

Pull my Pino Grigio on some lime what is this?

An immaculate version of me and my baby

With all respect cause you the only one that gets me

[Amy Winehouse: Chorus]

[Nas - Bridge]

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

Yeah, Hey yo Salaam, yea, I think they know the time

Everything’s good, everything’s fine

Yeah, pour a little cherry wine, yeah

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: Chorus]

[Amy Winehouse]

Man who was just like me

I heard he is hiding somewhere I can’t see

And I’m alone

And I realize that when I get home

When I wanna go to my red and my cherry

Yeah-oh-oh-ooooh

The man who was just like me

Cause I know he was hiding somewhere I can’t see

And I’m alone

And I realize when I get home

That I wanna go to my red and my cherry

(Life Is Good)
