歌手:Nas
专辑:《Illmatic XX》

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
Buddha through righteous steps
Deep like The Shinin'
Sparkle like a diamond
Sneak a uzi 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 drank Moet with Medusa
Give her shotguns in hell
From the spliff that I lift and inhale
It ain't hard to tell

It ain't hard to tell

The buddha 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 L
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 I'll
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 magmatize me
Scannin while you're plannin
Ways to sabotage me
I leave em froze like her-on in your nose
Nas'll rock well it ain't hard to tell

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-straul cycles
Street's disciple
I rock beats that's mega trifle
And groovy but 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'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
