It ain`t hard to tell, I excel, then prevail
The mic is contacted, I attract clientele
My mic check is life or death, breathing 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 lining
Hit the Earth like a comet, invasion
Nas is like the Afrocentric Asian, half-man, half-amazing
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
Nas, stories by Aesop, place your loot up, parties I shoot up
Nas, I analyze, drop a Jewel
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 magnetize me
Scanning while you`re planning 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, niggas is frozen
Speak with criminal slang, begin like a violin
End like Leviathan, it`s deep well let me try again
Wisdom be leaking out my grapefruit troop
I dominate break loops, giving mics men-e-straul cycles
Street`s disciple, I rock beats that`s mega trifle
And groovy but smoother than moves by Villanova
Yet still a soldier, I`m like Sly Stallone in Cobra
Packing like a rasta in the weed 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
