It ain't hard to tell, I excel, then prevail/
The mic is contacted, I attract clientele/
My mic check is life or death, breathin' 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 linin'/
Hit the Earth like a comet—invasion/
Nas is like the Afrocentric Asian: half-man, half-amazin'
That. Never. Gets. Old.!!!
