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 through righteous steps
Deep like The Shining, sparkle like a diamond
Sneak a 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 drink Moët with Medusa, give her in Hell
From the that I lift and inhale, it ain't hard to tell

The 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
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 Sheik
Jam like a 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 in your nose
Nas will 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-strual cycles
Street's disciple, I rock beats that's mega trifle
And groove even 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 will squeeze
MCs 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
