| [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 ******z wouldn't understand |
| [02:02.95] |
And now in every jam I'm the ****** man |
| [02:05.22] |
I rap in front of more ******z than in the slave *******ps |
| [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 ****** |
| [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 ******z 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 ******* 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 ****** |
| [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 Queen******ridge crew |
| [03:58.74] |
To the Queen******ridge 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] |
