“Don’t hesitate to say you heard it from Nas…”
One Time 4 Your Mind, 1994 [youtube link]
Never plan to stop, when I write my hand is hot
And expand a lot from the Wiz to Camelot
The parlayer, I’ll make ya heads bop pah,
I shine a light on perpetrators like a cop’s car
From day to night, I play the mic and you’ll thank God
I wreck shit so much, the microphone’ll need a paint job…

Street’s Disciple ft. Olu Dara, 2004 [youtube link]
They took Will, let me describe him, a live one
I think that he was the true ‘God’s Son’, not Jesus but fearless…
He never got to see my debut,
Wild-mannered but wild with them hammers,
Niggas frontin couldn’t stand it
Took him off the planet, left us in ’92
With the philosophy of what arms do, a true Street’s Disciple…
Doo Rags 2002 [youtube link]
Niggas used to wear rags on they hair when it was fried up
That’s when we were lied to, buying hair products
Back before my generation, when our blackness started disintegrating
Till awareness started penetrating…
I done it, got God Son on my stomach
My heart and my lungs was affected from Hennys and getting blunted
Do your body right and it loves you back
You only get one life, and yo because of that
I’m still blazing, going out for the cause
Still rocking stocking caps, not for the waves, obeying no laws
And it’s like that…

Nas is ‘Ringleader’, brings Ether, brings heater,
Your dream teamer scream, “he’s the supreme teacher!”
Similar to anybody you know?
Oh, I created, cremated, bodied that flowAnyone you think fucking with me, better be vets
Better be Ra, better be Kool G or KRS…
Don’t get me wrong, I did chill on the throne alone so long,
This is my will…
