Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It ain't hard to tell
[Verse 2]
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 an **** on the island in my army jacket ****
Hit the earth like a comet, invasion
Nas is like the Afrocentric Asian, half man, half amazing
'Cause in my physical, I can express through song
Delete stress like Motrin, then extend strong
I drink Moët with Medusa, give her **** ashes in hell
From the **** that I lift in inhale, it ain't hard to tell
[Verse 3]
It ain't hard to tell
It ain't hard to tell
[Verse 4]
The **** monk's in your trunk, turn the bass up
Not stories by Aesop, place your loot up, parties I **** up
Nas, I analyze, drop a jewel, inhale from the L
School of full well, you feel it like braille, it ain't hard to tell
I kick a skill like Shacquille holds the pill, vocabulary spills, I'm ill
Plus-matic, I freak beats, slam it like Iron Sheik
Jam like **** with correct techniques
So analyze me, surprise me, but can't magnetize me
Scannin' while you're plannin' ways to sabotage me
I leave 'em froze like **** in your nose
Nas'll rock well, it ain't hard to tell
[Verse 5]
It ain't hard to tell
It ain't hard to tell
[Verse 6]
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 Neviathon, it's deep, well, let me try again
Wisdom be leakin' out my grapefruit troop
I dominate break loops, givin' mic's menstrual cycles
Streets 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
**** actin' like a Rasta **** vocals are squeezed
Glock's and C's eavesdrop, though they need not to sneak
My poetry's deep, I never fail, Nas's rap should be locked in a cell
[Verse 7]
It ain't hard to tell
It ain't hard to tell
