[Verse 1:]
~#**************#~
It aint hard to tell, I excel then prevail
~#**************#~
The mic is contacted, I attract clientele
~#**************#~
My mic check is life or death, breathing a snipers breath
~#**************#~
I exhale the yellow smoke of buddha through righteous steps
~#**************#~
Deep like the Shining, sparkle like a diamond
~#**************#~
Sneak a Uzi on the island in my army jacket lining
~#**************#~
Hit the Earth like a comet – invasion!
~#**************#~
Nas is like the Afrocentric Asian, half-man, half-amazing
~#**************#~
Cause in my physical, I can express through song
~#**************#~
Delete stress like Motrin, then extend strong
~#**************#~
I drink Moet with Medusa, give her shotguns in hell
~#**************#~
From the spliff that I lift and inhale, it aint hard to tell
~#**************#~
[Hook:] x2
~#**************#~
[Verse 2:]
~#**************#~
The buddha monks in your trunk, turn the bass up
~#**************#~
Not stories by Aesop, place your loot up, parties I shoot up
~#**************#~
Nas, I analyze, drop a jewel, inhale from the L
~#**************#~
School a fool well, you feel it like Braille, it aint hard to tell
~#**************#~
I kick a skill like Shaquille holds a pill
~#**************#~
Vocabulary spills Im Ill plus Matic
~#**************#~
I freak beats, slam it like Iron Sheik
~#**************#~
Jam like a Tec with correct techniques
~#**************#~
So analyze me, surprise me, but cant magnetize me
~#**************#~
Scannin while youre plannin ways to sabotage me
~#**************#~
I leave em froze like her-on in your nose
~#**************#~
Nasll rock well, it aint hard to tell
~#**************#~
[Hook:] x2
~#**************#~
[Verse 3:]
~#**************#~
This rhythmatic explosion is what your frame of mind has chosen
~#**************#~
Ill leave your brain stimulated, niggas is frozen
~#**************#~
Speak with criminal slang, begin like a violin
~#**************#~
End like Leviathan, its deep, well let me try again
~#**************#~
Wisdom be leaking out my grapefruit, troop
~#**************#~
I dominate break loops, giving mics men-e-strual cycles
~#**************#~
Streets disciple, I rock beats thats mega trifle
~#**************#~
And groove even smoother than moves by Villanova
~#**************#~
Youre still a soldier, Im like Sly Stone in Cobra
~#**************#~
Packing like a Rasta in the weed spot, vocalsll squeeze Glocks
~#**************#~
MCs eavesdrop though they need not to sneak
~#**************#~
My poetrys deep, I never fail
~#**************#~
Nass raps should be locked in a cell, it aint hard to tell
~#**************#~
[Hook:] x2

[Outro:] x5
