| [00:02.07][Intro: AZ] | |
| [00:10.56] | Yea, yea, check it out |
| [00:11.30] | I see today's mathematics as being understanding, you know? |
| [00:14.84] | Understanding is having the ability to see things clearly |
| [00:18.27] | For what they are not what they present theyself to be |
| [00:20.61] | It completes the cipher, you know what I'm saying? |
| [00:23.94] | It's also symbolic to the black child which is the best part |
| [00:27.18] | Ayo, son, represent |
| [00:29.67][Verse 1: Nas] | |
| [00:29.86] | Now I'm the average nigga in the street life God |
| [00:32.21] | I try to beat trife odds, ride my elite through the night fog and park |
| [00:35.00] | It's Buddha to be sparked, it's consistent |
| [00:37.65] | The beast smells the el because it travels long distance |
| [00:39.94] | Cruising in his Chrysler, pursuing niggas in my cipher |
| [00:42.43] | Start wildin' like insane asylum on Rikers Island |
| [00:45.36] | Verbal assassin, I murder freestylin' |
| [00:47.30] | One two for the gun crew, three drinking Cristal n |
| [00:50.25] | I play the side cause the words of man kill |
| [00:52.64] | Proverbs, buck out my grill, real as Ill Will, keep still |
| [00:55.52] | Nobody move nobody die, why must I be high? |
| [00:57.71] | Busting in trife bitches, touchin' mic switches |
| [01:00.20] | It's like a hot spoon of heroin, a Don like Perignon |
| [01:03.09] | Females love the guns I be wearing |
| [01:05.03] | Plant my seeds to live infinite, indeed in my sentences |
| [01:07.42] | I flow demandin', that's understandin' |
| [01:30.64][Verse 2: Nas] | |
| [01:30.84] | 850 Tempo but rugged like a Pinto |
| [01:32.82] | Chop shop hip-hop, burn the block intro |
| [01:35.36] | High priests release voodoo, déjà vu and this taboo |
| [01:38.35] | Illmatic shit and what have you |
| [01:40.29] | Chef cocaine cook, no brain got the proper diction |
| [01:42.63] | My competition bleeds words and weed blurs my vision |
| [01:45.82] | I'm freezing in time, stop the rhyme |
| [01:47.86] | I'm sober in stolen Range Rover much crime |
| [01:50.25] | I, stick up America, Nas in your area |
| [01:52.63] | Disrupt the sound barrier, clowns get pounds of terror |
| [01:55.27] | A full whip for more clips then Clint has in his era |
| [01:57.67] | Dirty Harry, cold black the uncanny, of Kojak |
| [02:00.21] | A Beretta sticking up trucks carrying amaretto |
| [02:02.75] | Clever to entice 'em, herbs I'm micin' while I'm pricin' |
| [02:05.29] | Niggas like they're slaves, best behave I'm the nice one |
| [02:07.72] | Nas, broken down for Nasir, means protection |
| [02:10.32] | Pop Dukes, resurrection international hoes, I'm sexin' |
| [02:13.10] | Or you'll be fucking one section, question? |
| [02:15.60] | Does a lonely mic give me an erection?, yes, son |
| [02:17.64] | On a float like the Jetsons futuristic rappin' mystic |
| [02:20.18] | Bust it, try and diss while my finger is on the iron biscuit |
| [02:22.97] | I rhyme terrific sparklin' like the diamond district |
| [02:25.91] | It's understanding |
