Deep like 'The Shining', sparkle like a diamond
Not stories by Aesop, place your loot up
Sneak a Uzi on the island, in my army jacket linin'
Packin' like a rasta in the weed spot
An' groovy but smoother than moves by Villanova
Nas, I analyze, drop a jewel, inhale from the L
Nas is like the Afrocentric Asian, half-man, half-amazin'
Wisdom be leakin' out my grapefruit troop
Speak with criminal slang, begin like a violin
'Cause in my physical, I can express through song
You're still a soldier, I'm like Sly Stone in 'Cobra'
Delete stress like Motrin, then extend strong
Parties, I shoot up
My mic check is life or death, breathin' a sniper's breath
Street's disciple, I rock beats that's mega trifle
Nas'll rock well, it ain't hard to tell
Is what your frame of mind has chosen
School a fool, well, you feel it like Braille
From the spliff that I lift an' inhale
I never fell, Nas's raps should be locked in a cell
I freak beats, slam it like Iron Sheik
It ain't hard to tell
Scannin' while you're plannin' ways to sabotage me
I dominate break loops, givin' mics menstrual cycles
I kick a skill like Shaquille holds a pill
The Buddha monk's in your trunk, turn the bass up
Through righteous steps
So analyze me, surprise me but can't magmatize me
I'll leave your brain stimulated, niggaz is frozen
I leave 'em froze like heron in your nose
Vocabulary spills I'm 'Ill' plus 'Matic'
Hit the Earth like a comet, invasion
It ain't hard to tell
I drank Moet with Medusa, give her shotguns in Hell
This rhythmatic explosion
I exhale the yellow smoke of Buddha
Vocals'll squeeze glocks, MC's eavesdrop
Jam like a tech with correct techniques
End like Leviathan, it's deep, well, let me try again
Though they need not to sneak, my poetry's deep
