[00:05.04](Right..) (Right..)
[00:11.43]Check me out y'all, Nasty Nas in your area
[00:16.97]About to cause mass hysteria
[00:18.92]
[00:20.94]Before a blunt, I take out my fronts
[00:22.93]Then I start to front, matter of fact, I be on a manhunt
[00:26.14]You couldn't catch me in the streets without a ton of reefer
[00:28.73]That's like Malcolm X, catchin the Jungle Fever
[00:31.31]King poetic, too much flavor, I'm major
[00:33.59]Atlanta ain't Brave-r, I'll pull a number like a pager
[00:36.47]Cause I'm am ace when I face the bass
[00:38.65]40-side is the place that is giving me grace
[00:41.25]Now wait, another dose and you might be dead
[00:43.76]And I'm a Nike head, I wear chains that excite the feds
[00:46.93]And ain't a damn thing gonna change
[00:48.91]I'ma performer (?) show the mic warmer was born to gain
[00:52.64]Nas, why did you do it?
[00:53.94]You know you got the mad fat fluid when you rhyme, it's halftime
[00:57.04]
[00:58.11](Right..) It's halftime
[01:02.63](Right..) Aiyyo it's halftime
[01:08.30](Right..) It's halftime
[01:12.89](Right..) Yeah, it's about halftime
[01:16.99]This is how it feel, check it out, how it feel
[01:18.22]
[01:18.45]It's like that, you know it's like that
[01:20.22]I got it hemmed, now you never get the mic back
[01:22.91]When I attack, there ain't an army that could strike back
[01:25.43]So I react never calmly on a hype track
[01:28.14]I set it off with my own rhyme
[01:30.67]Cause I'm as ill as a convict who kills for phone time
[01:33.71]I'm max like cassettes, I flex like sex
[01:36.17]In your stereo sets, Nas will catch wreck
[01:38.77]I used to hustle, now all I do is relax and strive
[01:41.76]When I was young, I was a fan of the Jackson 5
[01:44.30]I drop jewels, wear jewels, hope to never run it
[01:47.04]With more kicks than a baby in a mother's stomach
[01:49.51]Nasty Nas has to rise cause I'm wise
[01:51.95]This is exercise 'til the microphone dies
[01:54.57]Back in eighty-three I was an MC sparking
[01:56.89]But I was too scared to grab the mic's in the park and
[01:59.75]Kick my little raps cause I thought niggaz wouldn't understand
[02:02.95]And now in every jam I'm the fuckin man
[02:05.22]I rap in front of more niggaz than in the slave ships
[02:07.89]I used to watch C.H.I.P.S., now I load glock clips
[02:10.33]I got to have it, I miss Mr. Magic
[02:12.73]Versatile, my style switches like a faggot
[02:15.34]But not bisexual, I'm an intellectual
[02:18.05]Of rap, I'm a professional and that's no question, yo
[02:20.95]These are the lyrics of the man, you can't near it, understand
[02:23.57]Cuz in the streets, I'm well known like the number man
[02:26.06]In my place wit the bass and format
[02:28.57]Explore rap, and tell me Nas ain't all that
[02:31.02]And next time I rhyme, I be foul
[02:33.34]Whenever I freestyle I see trial niggaz say I'm wow
[02:36.32]I hate a rhymebiter's rhyme
[02:39.29]Stay tuned, Nas, soon the real rap comes at halftime
[02:39.32]
[02:41.51](Right..) It's halftime
[02:47.33](Right..) Exhale, check it it's halftime
[02:51.33](Right..) It's halftime
[02:52.53](Right..) It's real in the field
[02:57.13]Word life, check it
[03:02.09]
[03:02.77]I got it goin on, even flip 'em on this song
[03:05.18]Every afternoon, I kick half the tune
[03:07.89]And in the darkness, I'm heartless like when the NARCs hit
[03:10.91]Word to Marcus Garvey I hardly sparked it
[03:13.12]Cause when I blast the herb, that's my word
[03:15.43]I be slayin them fast, doing this that and the third
[03:17.91]But chill, past to Andre, and let's slay
[03:20.53]I bag bitches up at John Jay, and hit a matinee
[03:23.48]Puttin hits on 5-0
[03:25.59]Csudr when it's my time to go, I wait for God wit the fo'-fo'
[03:28.70]And biters can't come near
[03:30.45]And yo, go to hell to the foul cop who shot Garcia
[03:33.54]I won't plant seeds, don't need an extra mouth I can't feed
[03:36.39]That's extra Phillie change, more cash for that weed
[03:39.23]This goes out to Manhattan, the island of Staten
[03:41.92]Brooklyn and Queens is livin fat and
[03:44.33]The Boogie Down, enough props, enough clout
[03:46.73]Ill Will, rest in peace, yo, I'm out
[03:49.26]
[03:50.26](Right..) It's still halftime
[03:55.12](Right..) To the Queensbridge crew
[03:58.74]To the Queensbridge crew, you know it's halftime
[04:00.49](Right..) Ninety-two, it's halftime
[04:05.53](Right..) Yo police, police man, yo let's get ghost
[04:09.65]Halftime..
[04:10.24]
