Nas Is Like

Nas is nas is nas is nas is
Nas is like nas is like
Nas is nas is nas is nas is
Freedom of jail clips inserted
A baby is being born the same time my man is murdered
The beginning and end
As far as rap go it's only natural I explain my plateau
And also what defines my name
First it was nasty but times have changed
Ask me now I'm the artist but hardcore my sign for pain
I spent time in the game kept my mind on fame
Saw fiends shoot up and do lines of coc*ine
Saw my close friends shot flatlining my same
That the pen carry mac-10's to practice my aim
On rooftops tape cd covers to trees
Line the barrel up with your w**d picture and squeeze
Jesus's scriptures for lost souls in the crossroads
To the corners thugs hustlin' for cars that cost dough
To the big dogs living large takin' it light
Pushin' big toys getting nice enjoyin' your life
Is what you make it suicide few try to take it
Belt tied around their neck in jail cells naked
Heaven and hell rap legend presence is felt
And of course n-a-s are the letters
That spell
Nas is like my poetry's
Which is deep I never fell
Nas is like nas is like half man half amazing
Nas is like my poetry's
Which is deep I never fell
Nas is like nas is like half man half amazing
Nas is like
Earth wind and fire rims and tires
Bulletproof glass inside is the realest driver
Planets in orbit line 'em up with the stars
Tarot cards you can see the pharaoh nas
Nas is like
Iron mic messiah type before the christ after the death
The last one left let my cash invest in stock
Came a along way from blasted techs on block
Went from seiko to rolex ownin' acres
From the projects with no chips to large cake dough
Dimes skinnin' fellatio siete zeros bet my nine spit for the pesos
But what's it all worth can't take it when you under this earth
Rich men died and tried but none of it worked
They just rob your grave I'd rather be alive and paid
Before my number's called history's made
Some will fall but I rise thug or die makin' choices
That determine my future under the sky to rob steal or kill
I'm wondering why it's a dirty game is any man worthy of fame
Much to success to ya even if you wish me the opposite
Sooner or later we'll all see who the prophet is
Nas is like my poetry's
Which is deep I never fell
Nas is like nas is like half man half amazing
Nas is like my poetry's
Which is deep I never fell
Nas is like nas is like half man half amazing
Sex to a nympho but nothing sweet
I'm like beef bustin' heat through your windows
I'm like a street sweeper green leaf preeper
Like greeks in egypt learnin' something deep from their teachers
I'm like crime like your nine your man you would die for
Always got you I'm like pop to you with crop for it
I'm like a whole lot of loot I'm like crisp money
Corporate accounts from a rich company
I'm like ecstasy for ladies I'm like all races combined in one man
Like the '99 summer jam bulletproof hummer man
I'm like being locked down around new faces and none of 'em fam
I'm the feeling of a millionaire spendin' a hundred grand
I'm a poor man's dream a thug poet
Live it and I write down and I watch it blow up
Y'all know what I'm like ya play it your system every night
Nas is like my poetry's
Which is deep I never fell
Nas is like nas is like half man half amazing
No doubt nas is like poetry's
Which is deep I never fell
Nas is like nas is like half man half amazing
No doubt nas is like nas is like
Nas is like
Nas is like
