(Verse 1)
Freedom or jail clips inserted, a baby's bein born
Same time my man is murdered
the beginning and end
As far as rap go it's only natural
I explain
My plateau and also what defines my name
First it was Nasty but times have changed
Ask me now I'm the artist
but hardcore my science for pain
I spent time in the game, kept my mind on fame
Saw fiends shoot up and do lines of cocaine
Saw my close friends shot flatline am I sane
That depends carry Mac-10's to practice my aim
On rooftops tape cd covers to trees
Line the barrel up
with your weak picture then squeeze
Street scriptures for lost souls in the crossroads
To the corner thugs hustlin
for cars that cost dough
To the big dogs livin large
takin it light
Pushin big toys gettin nice
enjoyin your life is what you make it
Suicide, few try to take it
Belt tied around they neck in jail cells naked
Heaven and hell rap legend, presence is felt
And of course N - A - S are the letters that spell


(Hook)
(NAS, NAS) Nas is like life or death I'm a rebel
My poetry's deep I never fell, Nas is like
Nas is like half man half amazing, No doubt

Nas is like life or death I'm a rebel
My poetry's deep I never fell, Nas is like
Nas is like half man half amazing, No doubt
Nas is like, Nas is like


(Verse 2)
Earth Wind & Fire rims and tires
Bulletproof glass inside is the realest driver
Planets in orbit line em up with the stars
Tarot cards you can see the pharaoh Nas
Nas is like Iron Mike, messiah type
Before the Christ after the death
The last one left let my cash invest in stock
Came a along way from blastin techs on blocks
Went from Seiko to Rolex ownin acres
From the projects with no chips
to large cake dough
Dimes givin fellatio siete zeros
Bet my nine spit for the pesos
But what's it all worth can't take it
when you under this Earth
Rich men died and tried but none of it worked
They just rob your grave
I'd rather be alive and paid
Before my number's called history's made
Some'll fall but I rise thug or die
Makin choices that determine
my future under the sky
To rob steal or kill, I'm wondering why
It's a dirty game is any man worthy of fame?
Much to success to ya
even if you wish me the opposite
Sooner or later
we'll all see who the prophet is


(Hook)
Nas is like life or death I'm a rebel
My poetry's deep I never fell, Nas is like
Nas is like half man half amazing, No doubt

Nas is like life or death I'm a rebel
My poetry's deep I never fell, Nas is like
Nas is like half man half amazing, No doubt
Nas is like, Nas is like


(Verse 3)
Nas is like sex to a nympho but nothin sweet
I'm like beef bustin heat through your windows
I'm like a street sweeper greenleaf reaper
Like Greeks in Egypt
Learnin somethin deep from they teachers
I'm like crime like your nine
your man you would die for
Always got you
I'm like Pop Duke you would cry for
I'm like a whole lot of loot
I'm like crisp money
Corporate accounts
from a rich company
I'm like ecstasy for ladies
I'm like all races
combined in one man
like the '99 summer jam
Bulletproof Hummer man
I'm like being locked
down around new faces
and none of em fam'
I'm the feelin of a millionaire
spendin a hundred grand
I'm a poor man's dream
a thug poet
Live it and I write down
and I watch it blow up
Y'all know what I'm like
y'all play it your system
every night, now


(Hook)
Nas is like life or death I'm a rebel
My poetry's deep I never fell, Nas is like
Nas is like half man half amazing, No doubt

Nas is like life or death I'm a rebel
My poetry's deep I never fell, Nas is like
Nas is like half man half amazing, No doubt
Nas is like, Nas is like
