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
