It ain't hard to tell
I excel then prevail
The mic is contacted
I attract clientele
My mic check is life or
death breathing a sniper's 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 Moët with Medusa
Give her shotguns in Hell
From the spliff that
I lift and inhale
It ain't hard to tell
The Buddha monk's 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 ain't hard to tell
I kick a skill like
Shaquille holds a pill
Vocabulary spills
I'm Ill plus Matic
I freak beats
Slam it like Iron Sheik
Jam like a TEC
with correct techniques
So analyze me surprise
me but can't magmatize me
Scanning while you're planning
ways to sabotage me
I leave em froze like
heroin in your nose
Nas will rock well
It ain't hard to tell
This rhythmatic explosion
is what your frame
of mind has chosen
I'll leave your brain stimulated
###### is frozen
Speak with criminal slang
Begin like a violin
End like Leviathan
It's deep well let me try again
Wisdom be leaking out
My grapefruit troop
I dominate break loops
Giving mics men-e-strual cycles
Street's disciple
I rock beats that's mega trifle
And groove even smoother
than moves by Villanova
You're still a soldier
I'm like Sly Stone in Cobra
Packing like a Rasta in the weed spot
Vocals will squeeze Glocks
MCs eavesdrop though
They need not to sneak
My poetry's deep I never fell
Nas' raps should be locked in a cell
It ain't hard to tell
