[00:00.00]It ain't hard to tell  I excel  then prevail
[00:02.72]The mic is contacted  I attract clientele
[00:05.59]My mic check is life or death  breathin a sniper's breath
[00:09.18]I exhale the yellow smoke of buddha through righteous steps
[00:12.33]Deep like The Shinin'  sparkle like a diamond
[00:14.15]Sneak a uzi on the island in my army jacket linin
[00:16.10]Hit the Earth like a comet invasion
[00:17.94]Nas is like the Afrocentric Asian  half-man  half-amazin
[00:21.16]Cause in my physical  I can express through song
[00:23.45]Delete stress like Motrin  then extend strong
[00:25.54]
[00:26.10]I drank Moet with Medusa  give her shotguns in hell
[00:28.83]From the spliff that I lift and inhale  it ain't hard to tell
[00:32.59]
[00:52.72]The buddha monk's in your trunk  turn the bass up
[00:55.42]Not stories by Aesop  place your loot up  parties I shoot up
[00:58.96]Nas  I analyze  drop a jew-el  inhale from the L
[01:01.86]School a fool well  you feel it like braille
[01:04.28]It ain't hard to tell  I kick a skill like Shaquille holds a pill
[01:07.18]Vocabulary spills I'm +Ill+
[01:09.18]Plus +Matic+  I freak beats slam it like Iron Shiek
[01:11.56]Jam like a tech with correct techniques
[01:12.98]So analyze me  surprise me  but can't magmatize me
[01:16.62]Scannin while you're plannin ways to sabotage me
[01:18.75]I leave em froze like her-on in your nose
[01:21.59]Nas'll rock well  it ain't hard to tell
[01:23.86]
[01:44.74]This rhythmatic explosion  is what your frame of mind has chosen
[01:48.75]I'll leave your brain stimulated  ****** is frozen
[01:51.30]Speak with criminal slang  begin like a violin
[01:53.44]End like Leviathan  it's deep well let me try again
[01:56.16]Wisdom be leakin out my grapefruit troop
[01:57.54]I dominate break loops  givin mics men-e-straul cycles
[02:00.74]Street's disciple  I rock beats that's mega trifle
[02:03.43]And groovy but smoother than moves by Villanova

[02:09.01]Packin like a rasta in the **** spot
[02:11.21]Vocals'll squeeze glocks  MC's eavesdrop
[02:12.85]Though they need not to sneak
[02:14.52]My poetry's deep  I never fell
[02:16.55]Nas's raps should be locked in a cell
[02:18.93]It ain't hard to tell
