Nas is Like - Nas/J.Period.mp3

[00:06.727]"Nas is . . ." - [Nas (7x)]
[00:09.339][Nas]
[00:09.627]Freedom or jail, clips inserted, a baby's bein born
[00:12.004]Same time my man is murdered, the beginning and end
[00:14.433]As far as rap go, it's only natural, I explain
[00:16.862]My plateau, and also, what defines my name
[00:19.240]First it was Nasty, but times have changed
[00:21.225]Ask me now, I'm the artist, but hardcore, my science for pain
[00:24.151]I spent time in the game, kept my mind on fame
[00:26.789]Saw fiends shoot up, and do lines of c*****e
[00:29.427]Saw my close friends shot, flatline am I sane?
[00:31.857]That depends, carry Mac-10's to practice my aim
[00:34.338]On rooftops, tape cd covers to trees
[00:36.820]Line the barrel up with your weak picture then squeeze
[00:39.328]Street scriptures for lost souls, in the crossroads
[00:42.149]To the corner thugs hustlin for cars that cost dough
[00:44.448]To the big dogs livin large, takin it light
[00:46.825]Pushin big toys, gettin nice, enjoyin your life
[00:49.280]is what you make it, suicide, few try to take it
[00:52.023]Belt tied around they neck in jail cells naked
[00:54.792]Heaven and hell, rap legend, presence is felt
[00:57.039]And of course N - A - S are the letters that spell . . .
[00:59.285]NAS, NAS
[00:59.494][Chorus: scratching by DJ Premier (2X)]
[00:59.808]"Nas is like life or death.. I'm a rebel.. "
[01:02.995]"My poetry's deep, I never fell.."
[01:04.745]"Nas is like.. half man half amazing.."
[01:08.794]"No doubt.."
[01:17.101][Chorus]
[01:18.067][Nas]
[01:20.262]"Nas is like.." Sex to a nympho, but nothin sweet
[01:22.560]I'm like beef, bustin heat through your windows
[01:24.911]I'm like a street sweeper, greenleaf reaper
[01:27.053]Like Greeks in Egypt, learnin somethin deep from they teachers
[01:29.535]I'm like crime, like your nine, your man you would die for
[01:32.278]Always got you, I'm like Pop Duke you would cry for
[01:34.681]I'm like a whole lot of loot, I'm like crisp money
[01:37.267]Corporate accounts from a rich company
[01:39.383]I'm like ecstasy for ladies, I'm like all races
[01:42.152]combined in one man; like the '99 summer jam
[01:44.268]Bulletproof Hummer man
[01:46.071]I'm like being locked down around new faces, and none of em fam'
[01:49.440]I'm the feelin of a millionaire spendin a hundred grand
[01:51.974]I'm a poor man's dream, a thug poet
[01:54.404]Live it, and I write down and I watch it blow up
[01:56.676]Y'all know what I'm like, y'all play it your system every night
[01:59.968]Now..
[02:00.516][Chorus]
