Big Nas - Nas

Hit-Boy

A man reproduces himself through his child
So when he leave here, he can just smile
But I see fit to stay here a while
Maybe buy a timeshare somewhere
Rock bum wear, beach chair, write a book each year
You can write yourself out of your blessings
Wreck your Lambo the first day just by driving too reckless
Time is too precious, these some obvious lessons
Please remind me to watch my step while I balance on edges
Ski on the slopes of life, slide down the ave at night
Watching the graff and graffiti on walls, that's a sight
Cars from Germany, I be pushin' the fastest type
Look into real estate, brother, I need the askin' price

Imagine another rapper makin' me perspire
I got more styles and more flows, plus I'm much flyer
I got more heights to reach, but I'm already higher
I'm already onto the next thing, peace and bless king
Peace and bless king

Big Nas, old money, new money, rap money
TEC money, flex money, what's next? You funny
Me, myself, I'm the illest alive
I can do a whole album on how it feel to survive
My daughter's a businesswoman, I'm so proud of her
My son, he's almost twelve and he's so knowledgeable
New music, new content, new programming, I ran the gamut
Got my hands in everything like kids with bad manners
Save the high school banter
At night school you studied my life lookin' for answers
I hear my callin', heart poundin' down my chest
Wish I could bring back X, God bless
I don't practice, I don't remember my lines
I'm just here so I don't get fined
I'm athletic with poetics, these are alpha male alphabetics
Never touched a Rolling Stone cover but I don't sweat it

Imagine another rapper makin' me perspire
I got more styles and more flows, plus I'm much flyer
I got more heights to reach, but I'm already higher
I'm already onto the next thing, peace and bless king
Peace and bless king
