[00:01.56]Artist: Nas
[00:01.72]Album:  I Am
[00:01.89]Song:   Nas is Like
[00:02.08]
[00:08.64]("Nas is . . ." -Nas) 7x
[00:10.75]
[00:21.51]Freedom or jail, clips inserted, a baby's bein born
[00:23.24]Same time my man is murdered, the beginning and end
[00:25.49]As far as rap go, it's only natural, I explain
[00:27.71]My plateau, and also, what defines my name
[00:30.20]First it was Nasty, but times have changed
[00:32.54]Ask me now, I'm the artist, but hardcore, my science for pain
[00:35.79]I spent time in the game, kept my mind on fame
[00:38.33]Saw fiends shoot up, and do lines of cocaine
[00:40.96]Saw my close friends shot, flatline am I sane?
[00:43.42]That depends, carry Mac-10's to practice my aim
[00:45.88]On rooftops, tape cd covers to trees
[00:48.46]Line the barrel up with your weak picture then squeeze
[00:51.00]Street scriptures for lost souls, in the crossroads
[00:53.47]To the corner thugs hustlin for cars that cost dough
[00:56.13]To the big dogs livin large, takin it light
[00:58.56]Pushin big toys, gettin nice, enjoyin your life
[01:00.87]is what you make it, suicide, few try to take it
[01:03.95]Belt tied around they neck in jail cells naked
[01:06.50]Heaven and hell, rap legend, presence is felt
[01:08.91]And of course N - A - S are the letters that spell . . .
[01:11.29]NAS, NAS
[01:12.29]
[01:13.51]Chorus: scratching by DJ Premier (2X)
[01:13.78]
[01:14.34]"Nas is like life or death.. I'm a rebel.. "
[01:15.16]"My poetry's deep, I never fell.."
[01:17.02]"Nas is like.. half man half amazing.."
[01:21.15]"No doubt.."
[01:21.64]
[01:22.46]"Nas is like.."  Earth Wind & Fire, rims and tires
[01:25.67]Bulletproof glass, inside is the realest driver
[01:37.29]Planets in orbit, line em up with the stars
[01:40.04]Tarot cards, you can see the pharaoh Nas
[01:42.06]"Nas is like.."  Iron Mike, messiah type
[01:44.58]Before the Christ, after the death
[01:46.45]The last one left, let my cash invest in stock
[01:49.53]Came a along way from blastin, techs on blocks
[01:51.97]Went from Seiko to Rolex, ownin acres
[01:54.63]From the projects with no chips, to large cake dough
[01:57.23]Dimes, givin fellatio, siete zeros
[02:00.03]Bet my nine spit for the pesos
[02:02.20]But what's it all worth, can't take it when you under this Earth
[02:04.79]Rich men died and tried, but none of it worked
[02:07.35]They just rob your grave, I'd rather be alive and paid
[02:10.65]Before my number's called, history's made
[02:12.64]Some'll fall, but I rise, thug or die
[02:14.88]Makin choices, that determine my future under the sky
[02:17.92]To rob steal or kill, I'm wondering why
[02:20.10]It's a dirty game, is any man worthy of fame?
[02:22.64]Much to success to ya, even if you wish me the opposite
[02:25.73]Sooner or later we'll all see who the prophet is
[02:27.08]
[02:27.62]Chorus
[02:28.43]
[02:49.06]"Nas is like.."  Sex to a nympho, but nothin sweet
[02:51.01]I'm like beef, bustin heat through your windows
[02:53.25]I'm like a street sweeper, greenleaf reaper
[02:55.66]Like Greeks in Egypt, learnin somethin deep from they teachers
[02:58.25]I'm like crime, like your nine, your man you would die for
[03:01.10]Always got you, I'm like Pop Duke you would cry for
[03:03.54]I'm like a whole lot of loot, I'm like crisp money
[03:05.39]Corporate accounts from a rich company
[03:08.30]I'm like ecstasy for ladies, I'm like all races
[03:10.98]combined in one man; like the '99 summer jam
[03:13.44]Bulletproof Hummer man
[03:14.90]I'm like being locked down around new faces, and none of em fam'
[03:17.77]I'm the feelin of a millionaire spendin a hundred grand
[03:21.06]I'm a poor man's dream, a thug poet
[03:23.60]Live it, and I write down and I watch it blow up
[03:26.05]Y'all know what I'm like, y'all play it your system every night
[03:28.52]Now..
[03:29.37]
[03:29.59]Chorus
[03:30.17]
