It Ain't Hard to Tell
It ain't hard to tell  I excel  then prevail
The mic is contacted  I attract clientele
My mic check is life or death  breathin a sniper's breath
I exhale the yellow smoke of buddha through righteous steps
Deep like The Shinin'  sparkle like a diamond
Sneak a uzi on the island in my army jacket linin
Hit the Earth like a comet invasion
Nas is like the Afrocentric Asian  half-man  half-amazin
Cause in my physical  I can express through song
Delete stress like Motrin  then extend strong

I drank Moet with Medusa  give her shotguns in hell
From the spliff that I lift and inhale  it ain't hard to tell

The buddha monk's in your trunk  turn the bass up
Not stories by Aesop  place your loot up  parties I shoot up
Nas  I analyze  drop a jew-el  inhale from the L
School a fool well  you feel it like braille
It ain't hard to tell  I kick a skill like Shaquille holds a pill
Vocabulary spills I'm +Ill+
Plus +Matic+  I freak beats slam it like Iron Shiek
Jam like a tech with correct techniques
So analyze me  surprise me  but can't magmatize me
Scannin while you're plannin ways to sabotage me
I leave em froze like her-on in your nose
Nas'll rock well  it ain't hard to tell

This rhythmatic explosion  is what your frame of mind has chosen
I'll leave your brain stimulated  ****** is frozen
Speak with criminal slang  begin like a violin
End like Leviathan  it's deep well let me try again
Wisdom be leakin out my grapefruit troop
I dominate break loops  givin mics men-e-straul cycles
Street's disciple  I rock beats that's mega trifle
And groovy but smoother than moves by Villanova
You're still a soldier  I'm like Sly Stone in Cobra
Packin like a rasta in the **** spot
Vocals'll squeeze glocks  MC's eavesdrop
Though they need not to sneak
My poetry's deep  I never fell
Nas's raps should be locked in a cell
It ain't hard to tell
