1
Right.. Right..
2
Check me out y'all, Nasty Nas in your area
3
About to cause mass hysteria
4
Before a blunt, I take out my fronts
5
Then I start to front, matter of fact, I be on a manhunt
6
You couldn't catch me in the streets without a ton of reefer
7
That's like Malcolm X, catchin the Jungle Fever
8
King poetic, too much flavor, I'm major
9
Atlanta ain't Brave-r, I'll pull a number like a pager
10
Cause I'm an ace when I face the bass
11
40-side is the place that is givin me grace
12
Now wait, another dose and you might be dead
13
And I'm a Nike head, I wear chains that excite the feds
14
And ain't a damn thing gonna change
15
I'ma performer strange, so the mic warmer was born to gain
16
Nas, why did you do it?
17
You know you got the mad fat fluid when you rhyme, it's halftime
18
(Right..) It's halftime
19
(Right..) Aiyyo it's halftime
20
(Right..) It's halftime
21
(Right..) Yeah, it's about halftime
22
This is how it feel, check it out, how it feel
23
It's like that, you know it's like that
24
I got it hemmed, now you never get the mic back
25
When I attack, there ain't an army that could strike back
26
So I react never calmly on a hype track
27
I set it off with my own rhyme
28
Cause I'm as ill as a convict who kills for phone time
29
I'm max like cassettes, I flex like sex
30
In ya, stereo sets, Nas'll catch wreck
31
I used to hustle - now all I do is relax and strive
32
When I was young I was a fan of the Jackson 5
33
I drop jewels, wear jewels, hope to never run it
34
With more kicks than a baby in a mother's stomach
35
Nasty Nas has to rise cause I'm wise
36
This is exercise 'til the microphone dies
37
Back in eighty-three I was an MC sparkin
38
But I was too scared to grab the mics in the parks and
39
kick my little raps cause I thought niggaz wouldn't understand
40
And now in every jam I'm the fuckin man
41
I rap in front of more niggaz than in the slave ships
42
I used to watch "C.H.I.P.S." now I load glock clips
43
I got to have it, I miss Mr. Magic
44
Versatile, my style switches like a faggot
45
But not bisexual, I'm an intellectual
46
Of rap, I'm a professional and that's no question, yo
47
These are the lyrics of the man, you can't near it, understand
48
Cause in the streets, I'm well known like the number man
49
In my place wit the bass and format
50
Explore rap, and tell me Nas ain't all that
51
And next time I rhyme, I be foul
52
Whenever I freestyle I see trial niggaz say I'm wild
53
I hate a rhymebiter's rhyme
54
Stay tuned, Nas, soon the real rap comes at halftime
55
(Right..) It's halftime
56
(Right..) Exhale, check it it's halftime
57
(Right..) It's halftime
58
(Right..) It's real in the field
59
Word life, check it
60
I got it goin on, even flip 'em on this song
61
Every afternoon, I kick half the tune
62
And in the darkness, I'm heartless like when the NARC's hit
63
Word to Marcus Garvey I hardly sparked it
64
Cause when I blast the herb, that's my word
65
I be slayin them fast, doing this that and the third
66
But chill, past to Andre, and let's slay
67
I bag bitches up at John Jay, and hit a matinee
68
Puttin hits on 5-0
69
Cause when it's my time to go, I wait for God wit the fo'-fo'
70
And biters can't come near
71
And yo, go to hell to the foul cop who shot Garcia
72
I won't plant seeds, don't need an extra mouth I can't feed
73
That's extra Phillie change, more cash for damp weed
74
This goes out to Manhattan, the island of Staten
75
Brooklyn and Queens is livin fat and
76
The Boogie Down, enough props, enough clout
77
Ill Will, rest in peace, yo, I'm out
78
(Right..) It's still halftime
79
(Right..) To the Queensbridge crew
80
To the Queensbridge crew, you know it's halftime
81
(Right..) Ninety-two, it's halftime
82
(Right..) Yo police, police man, yo let's get ghost
83
Halftime..
