Nas Is Like - Nas

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 lik
