Текст (слова) песни: Nas - Nas Is Like

 
("Nas is . . ." -Nas) (7x) 
 
[Nas] 
Freedom or jail, clips inserted, a baby`s bein born 
Same time my man is murderedm 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 science for pain 
I spent time in the game, kept my mind on fame 
Saw fiends shoot up, and do lines of cocaine 
Saw my close friends shot, flatline am I sane? 
That depends, carry Mac-10`s to practice my aim 
On rooftops, tape cd covers to trees 
Line the barrel up with your weak picture then squeeze 
Street scriptures for lost souls, in the crossroads 
To the corner thugs hustlin for cars that cost dough 
To the big dogs livin large, takin it light 
Pushin big toys, gettin nice, enjoyin your life 
is what you make it, suicide, few try to take it 
Belt tied around they 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, NAS 
 
[scratching by DJ Premier] 
1 - "Nas is like life or death.. my rep.." 
"My poetry`s deep, I never fell.." 
"Nas is like.. half man half amazing.." 
"No doubt.." 
 
Repeat 1 
 
[Nas] 
"Nas is like.." Earth Wind & 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 Mike, messiah type 
Before the Christ, after the death 
The last one left, let my cash invest in stock 
Came a along way from blastin, techs on blocks 
Went from Seiko to Rolex, ownin acres 
From the projects with no chips, to large cake dough 
Dimes, givin 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`ll 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 
 
Repeat 1 
 
Repeat 1 
 
[Nas] 
"Nas is like.." Sex to a nympho, but nothin sweet 
I`m like beef, bustin heat through your windows 
I`m like a street sweeper, greenleaf reaper 
Like Greeks in Egypt, learnin somethin deep from they teachers 
I`m like crime, like your nine, your man you would die for 
Always got you, I`m like Pop Duke you would cry for 
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 feelin 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, y`all play it your system every night 
Now.. 
 
Repeat 1
