| [00:04.47] | The light is there. |
| [00:11.34] | See I come from Mississippi |
| [00:13.97] | I was young and runnin' wild |
| [00:17.22] | Ended up in New York City, where I had my first child |
| [00:23.66] | I named the boy Nasir, all the boys call him Nas |
| [00:30.04] | I told him as a youngster, he'll be the greatest man alive |
| [00:35.04] | Let's go!... Hey-Hey-Hey-Hey -- |
| [00:46.53] | Tribrary of these rap skits, styles I mastered |
| [00:48.79] | Many brothers snatched it up and tried to match it |
| [00:51.35] | But I'm still number one, everyday real |
| [00:53.10] | Speak what I want, I don't care what y'all feel |
| [00:56.35] | Cause I'm my own master, my Pop told me be your own boss |
| [00:59.79] | Keep integrity at every cost, and his home was Natchez Mississippi |
| [01:04.10] | Did it like Miles and Dizzy, now we gettin' busy |
| [01:06.97] | Bridging The Gap from the blues, to jazz, to rap |
| [01:09.72] | The history of music on this track |
| [01:12.10] | Born in the game, discovered my father's music |
| [01:14.10] | Like Prince searchin' through boxes of Purple Rain |
| [01:16.91] | But my Minneapolis was The Bridge, home of the Superkids |
| [01:20.22] | Some are well-known, some doin' bids |
| [01:21.91] | I mighta ended up on the wrong side of the tracks |
| [01:24.41] | If Pops wouldn't've pulled me back an said yo |
| [01:27.10] | Greatest man alive （Nas Yeah, turn it up!） |
| [01:52.26] | Gre-Gre-Gre-Gre-Greatest man alive! |
| [01:53.32] | The blues came from gospel, gospel from blues |
| [01:54.94] | Slaves are harmonizin' them ah's and ooh's |
| [01:57.69] | Old school, new school, know school rules |
| [01:59.82] | All these years I been voicin' my blues |
| [02:03.00] | I'm a artist from the start, Hip-Hop guided my heart |
| [02:05.50] | Graffiti on the wall, coulda ended in Spoffard, juvenile delinquent |
| [02:09.63] | But Pops gave me the right type'a tools to think with |
| [02:12.95] | Books to read, like X and stuff |
| [02:15.70] | Cause the schools said the kids had dyslexia |
| [02:18.26] | In art class I was a compulsive sketcher of |
| [02:20.95] | Teachers in my homeroom, I drew pix to mess them up |
| [02:24.01] | Cause none'a them would like my style |
| [02:26.01] | Read more books than the curriculum profile |
| [02:28.51] | Said, Mr. Jones please come get your child |
| [02:31.13] | Cause he's writin' mad poems and his s are wild |
| [02:33.99] | |
| [02:54.99] | Greatest man ? The great-greatest man alive |
| [02:57.80] | Hey-Hey-Hey -- My Poppa was not a Rollin' Stone |
| [03:01.24] | He been around the world blowin' his horn, still he came home |
| [03:04.62] | Then he got grown, changed his name to Olu |
| [03:07.05] | Come on, tell 'em 'bout the places you gone to |
| [03:09.56] | I been to Saudi Arabia, Mozambique |
| [03:12.30] | Madagascar, Paris, Greece |
| [03:14.74] | The Middle Africa is where we lived |
| [03:17.55] | Better known as Queenbridge |
| [03:20.49] | Nas, Nas you don't stop |
| [03:22.37] | Olu Dara in the house, you don't stop |
| [03:24.93] | Muddy Waters' Howling Wolf you don't stop |
| [03:27.55] | From the Blues to Street Hop you don't stop |
| [03:30.12] | Tell 'em Pop |
| [03:30.93] | See I come from Mississippi （Let 'em know） |
| [03:33.99] | I was young and runnin' wild （Runnin' wild） |
| [03:36.30] | Ended up in New York City （Yeah!） |
| [03:38.80] | Where I had my first child （That's me） |
| [03:41.68] | I named the boy Nasir （Yeah, Daddy!） |
| [03:44.24] | All the boys call him Nas （Luh ya, boy） |
| [03:47.05] | I told him as a youngster |
| [03:48.37] | He'll be the greatest man alive （You the greatest, Pop） |
| [03:52.12] | Greatest man alive （You the greatest, Pop） |
| [03:53.91] | Gre-Gre-Gre-Gre-Greatest man alive! |
