[Verse 1]
It ain't hard to [G]tell,
I [Am]excel, then [A]prevail
[F]The mic is contacted,
I [E]at tract clientele
[G]My mic check is life or death,
[Am]breathin' a sniper's breath
I [F]exhale the yellow smoke of [E]buddha
through righteous steps
[G]Deep like the Shining,
[Am]sparkle like a diamond
Sneak [F]a Uzi on the island in
my [E]army jacket linin'
Hit the [G]Earth like a comet, [A]in vasion
Nas is like [F]the Afrocentric Asi[E]an, half-man,
half-amazin'
'Cause [G]'Cause in my physical
I can ex[Am]press through song
[F]Delete stress like
[E]Motrin, then extend strong

Not stories by [F]Aesop
Place your loot [E]up , parties I shoot up

inhale from the [F]L
School a fool well, you [E]feel it like Braille
It ain't [G]hard to tell,
I kick a [Am]skill [F]like Shaquille holds a pill
Vocabulary [E]spills, I'm Ill [G]plus Matic
I freak beats, [Am]slam it like Iron Sheik
[F]Jam like a TEC with cor
[E]rect techniques
So ana[G]lyze me, surprise me,
[Am]but can't magmatize me

[G]explosion
Is what your [Am]frame of mind has chosen
I'll [F]leave your brain stimulated,

[G]Wisdom be leaking out my gra[Am]pefruit,

I domin[F]ate break loops,
[E]givin' mics men-e-strual cycles
Street's [G]disciple,
I rock [Am]beats that's mega t[F]rifle
And groove even smoother than
[E]moves by Villanova
You're [G]still a soldier,
I'm like [Am]Sly Stone in Cobra
[F]Packin' like a Rasta in the
[E]weed spot
[G]Vocals'll squeeze Glocks
MCs eaves[Am]drop,
though they need not to [F]sneak
My poetry's [E]deep, I never fell
[G]Nas' raps should be locked in a [Am]cell,
it ain't hard to [F]tell[Eb]
