Nas - Nas Will Prevail lyrics

It ain't hard to tell, I excel and prevail
The mic comes in contact with the third rail
My raps react
They attack the wack just like a maniac
With this, see, I'm a brainiac
I'll call you tattoo, you never come off
I flip the script with a sawed-off, boss
A modern Shakespeare reincarnated
Brains are elevated, I'm bein' R rated
This style is terror, drastic
Meltin' the plastic
And I eat mics just like acid
Burn your pen and pads, mics you'll need not
'Cause I be packin' like a
Rasta in a weed spot
Hittin' your heart with a hollow-tip
Verbally illin'
Minds manipulated, my raps are nickel-plated
I execute rap like I'm swingin' an axe around
This is a mic shut down
Notify the President that I'm
Bombin' your residence
And I'm leavin' no evidence
Voice box yells, lyrics'll excel
Rappers gettin' smoked
You can smell the hot shells
Your style is fake, snake, well dramatized
You might as well be a
Singer but ain't harmin' Nas harmonized
Here's the break
I'mma translate lyrics so well
I excel, it ain't hard to tell

It ain't hard to tell

I got a case of vocal fever
I'm here to make you a believer
Nas wrecks the tweeters and receivers
Lyrics'll explode, my brain overloads
Gimme a Grammy
Competition is dead just like Sammy
I leave minds magnetized like slaves
Your style is old fashioned like waves
Holdin' a pistol at a pastor
Pullin' the trigger faster
Tell him I was sent by his Master
But that topic's too deep for your ear
Here's the science you can comprehend clear
Advanced intellectual, a time bomb speeder
I'll know your whole card just
Like a palm reader
Non-stop, I'm bustin' heads like the FEDs
Baby pops this is not the Kindergarten Cop
Put on your blindfold
I'mma release and stand tall
I detonate bombs at the Policeman's Ball
This is art from the heart
I leave 'em marked for death in each breath
In this game, I'm the ref
Already I'm ill, but I can only get better
With lyrics as pretty as
A nickel-plated Beretta
I master dialects of uncommon languages
A black man caught by the
Klan couldn't hang with this
These are proverbs, copy cat attackers, huh
I'm wanted dead 'cause I'm
A genocide to rappers
Battlin' Nas is dead when my brain reacts
You might as well have fell
Asleep on a train track
This ain't the same track that you're used to
This is rhythmatic, automatic, try it
You oughta have it
Slaughter your tape recorder
Givin' thanks to my supporters
And keep flowin' like water
No matter the obstacle
Nasty Nas will prevail
Ayo, it ain't hard to tell

It ain't hard to tell

Check it i catch wreck with my intellect
Suckers are incorrect
I'm gonna win 'cause you slept
On Nas, word is bond
I leave the microphone torn false rappers
You need to write your own song
Metaphors are murder, man
Hittin' like Roberto Duran
Hold the mic in my hand, my life span
Imitators will sweat me like gym class
Your raps are fat, shit
Then I'll be Slim Fast
New rap recruit's I salute then delete 'em
Verbally eat 'em
Because my ears don't need 'em
Nas is a terrorist, analyst
Swingin' my fists like a nigga breakin'
Possessed by Satan
You couldn't compete with a beat
That was fast or slow
Brothers is gettin' shipped out
Like I was Castro i can eat your flavor
But I'm not a candy lover
I use a Lethal Weapon, just like Danny Glover
I execute monologues, sabotage entourage
Mutilate mics like a maniac at large
I talk with slang, and use my brain
Generate pain, penetrate your vein
Move like a maniac, Nas is nice, son
Talk to your conscience and hit like Tyson
No competition, 'cause I cause wonders
Nas will battle rappers by
The football numbers
A motor mouth killer, rhyme-writin' thriller
Hold a Mac-11, and attack a reverend
Don't sleep 'cause you might not wake
I speak deep, dialects I translate
Me and friends commit sins on the regular
Murder my competitors, and et cetera
Nas is a gypsy, Egyptian
Flippin' the script and microphone
Manufacturers are victims
My voice makes your ear drums swell
It ain't hard to tell
