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 death 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 throuh 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 The buddha monk's in your trunk, turn the bass up Nas, 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 the skill like Shaquille holds a pill Vocabulary spills I'm Ill 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 sabatoge me I leave em froze like her-on in your nose Nas'll rock well, it ain't hard to tell This rhythmatic explosion, is what your frame of mind has chosen I'll leave your brain stimulated, niggaz 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 Stallone in Cobra Packin like a rasta in the weed spot Vocals'll squeeze glocks, MC's eavesdropT 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
