Take it to da bridge, to da muh fucking bridge. Queensbridge in da mother fucka. it ain't hard to tell, it ain't hard to tell it ain't hard to tell Verse 1 The buddha monk's in your trunk, turn the bass up Nas, 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 the 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 sabatoge me I leave em froze like her-on in your nose Nas can rock well, it ain't hard to tell Chorus
What's a beat if da ryhme don't click, i spit ryhmes like i'm sick dying lost in a pit. The only way i can escape is by vocals, verbalizing stripes, stabing ears like a knife called life. The prohet of da gutter, lyrics a silk major butter, i flow never stutter, clever poetic brothers on a mission, dishing all ne perps to fraud. Gramps listen, to what the experts record. Burn ya pin and pads, mics we need not, well i be packing like a rasta in the weed spot. Hittinh ya hearts like a holatip verbaly illing, minds muniplated my raps are nickel plated i illistarted x rated to move out. Nas the parlayer state you on a new route. The suicide poetry realeased from a cell where the myths clientell i excell it ain't hard to tell. Chorus
I blessed with the Finesse to express like shakespear the blocks cape fear, drop metaphors when da breaks clear. My mic check is life or death, breathin a sniper's death 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 throuh 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 (Chorus)fades
