[00:00.00]It ain't hard to tell I excel then prevail
[00:02.72]The mic is contacted I attract clientele
[00:05.59]My mic check is life or death breathin a sniper's breath
[00:09.18]I exhale the yellow smoke of buddha through righteous steps
[00:12.33]Deep like The Shinin' sparkle like a diamond
[00:14.15]Sneak a uzi on the island in my army jacket linin
[00:16.10]Hit the Earth like a comet invasion
[00:17.94]Nas is like the Afrocentric Asian half-man half-amazin
[00:21.16]Cause in my physical I can express through song
[00:23.45]Delete stress like Motrin then extend strong
[00:25.54]
[00:26.10]I drank Moet with Medusa give her shotguns in hell
[00:28.83]From the spliff that I lift and inhale it ain't hard to tell
[00:32.59]
[00:52.72]The buddha monk's in your trunk turn the bass up
[00:55.42]Not stories by Aesop place your loot up parties I shoot up
[00:58.96]Nas I analyze drop a jew-el inhale from the L
[01:01.86]School a fool well you feel it like braille
[01:04.28]It ain't hard to tell I kick a skill like Shaquille holds a pill
[01:07.18]Vocabulary spills I'm +Ill+
[01:09.18]Plus +Matic+ I freak beats slam it like Iron Shiek
[01:11.56]Jam like a tech with correct techniques
[01:12.98]So analyze me surprise me but can't magmatize me
[01:16.62]Scannin while you're plannin ways to sabotage me
[01:18.75]I leave em froze like her-on in your nose
[01:21.59]Nas'll rock well it ain't hard to tell
[01:23.86]
[01:44.74]This rhythmatic explosion is what your frame of mind has chosen
[01:48.75]I'll leave your brain stimulated ****** is frozen
[01:51.30]Speak with criminal slang begin like a violin
[01:53.44]End like Leviathan it's deep well let me try again
[01:56.16]Wisdom be leakin out my grapefruit troop
[01:57.54]I dominate break loops givin mics men-e-straul cycles
[02:00.74]Street's disciple I rock beats that's mega trifle
[02:03.43]And groovy but smoother than moves by Villanova
[02:06.19]You're still a soldier I'm like Sly Stone in Cobra
[02:09.01]Packin like a rasta in the **** spot
[02:11.21]Vocals'll squeeze glocks MC's eavesdrop
[02:12.85]Though they need not to sneak
[02:14.52]My poetry's deep I never fell
[02:16.55]Nas's raps should be locked in a cell
[02:18.93]It ain't hard to tell
