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