Halftime |
Check me out y’all |
Nasty Nas in your area |
About to cause mass hysteria |
Before a blunt, I take out my fronts |
Then I start to front, matter of fact I be on a manhunt |
You couldn’t catch me in the streets without a ton of reefer |
That’s like Malcolm X catchin' the Jungle Fever |
King poetic, too much flavor, I’m major |
Atlanta ain’t Brave-r, I’ll pull a number like a pager |
‘Cause I’m an ace when I face the bass |
40-side is the place that is givin' me grace |
Now wait, another dose and you might be dead |
And I’m a Nike-head, I wear chains that excite the feds |
And ain’t a damn thing gonna change, I’m a performer, strange |
So the mic warmer was born to gain |
Nas, why did you do it? |
You know you got the mad-phat fluid when you rhyme |
It’s halftime |
(Right…) It’s halftime |
(Right…) Ayo it’s halftime |
(Right…) It’s halftime |
(Right…) Yeah, it’s about halftime |
This is how it feel, check it out, how it feel |
It’s like that, you know it’s like that |
I got it hemmed, now you never get the mic back |
When I attack, there ain’t a army that could strike back |
So I react never calmly on a hype track |
I set it off with my own rhyme |
‘Cause I’m as ill as a convict who kills for phone time |
I’m max like cassettes, I flex like sex |
In your stereo sets, Nas’ll catch wreck |
I used to hustle, now all I do is relax and strive |
When I was young I was a fan of the Jackson 5 |
I drop jewels, wear jewels, hope to never run it |
With more kicks than a baby in a mother’s stomach |
Nasty Nas has to rise ‘cause I’m wise |
This is exercise 'til the microphone dies |
Back in '83 I was an MC sparkin' |
But I was too scared to grab the mics in the parks and |
Kick my little raps ‘cause I thought niggas wouldn’t understand |
And now in every jam I’m the fuckin' man |
I rap in front of more niggas than in the slave ships |
I used to watch «CHiPs», now I load Glock clips |
I got to have it, I miss Mr. Magic |
Versatile, my style switches like a faggot |
But not bisexual, I’m an intellectual |
Of rap I’m a professional, and that’s no question yo |
These are the lyrics of the man, you can’t near it, understand? |
‘Cause in the streets I’m well-known like the number man |
Am I in place with the bass and format? |
Explore rap and tell me, «Nas ain’t all that» |
And next time I rhyme, I be foul |
Whenever I freestyle I see trial, niggas say I’m wild |
I hate a rhyme-biter's rhyme |
Stay tuned, I assume, the real rap comes at halftime |
(Right…) It’s halftime |
(Right…) Exhale, check it, it’s halftime |
(Right…) It’s halftime |
(Right…) It’s real in the field |
Word life, check it |
I got it goin' on, even flip a morning song |
Every afternoon, I kick half the tune |
And in the darkness I’m heartless like when the NARC’s hit |
Word to Marcus Garvey, I hardly sparked it |
‘Cause when I blast the herb, that’s my word |
I be slayin' them fast, doin' this that and the third |
But chill, pass the Andre, and let’s slay |
I bag bitches up at John Jay and hit a matinee |
Puttin' hits on 5−0 |
‘Cause when it’s my time to go, I wait for God with the .44 |
And biters can’t come near |
And yo, go to hell to the foul cop who shot Garcia |
I won’t plant seeds, don’t need an extra mouth I can’t feed |
That’s extra Phillie change, more cash for damp weed |
This goes out to Manhattan, the island of Staten |
Brooklyn and Queens is livin' fat and |
The Boogie Down, enough props, enough clout |
Ill Will, rest in peace, yo I’m out |
(Right…) It’s still halftime |
(Right…) To the Queensbridge crew |
To the Queensbridge crew, you know it’s halftime |
(Right…) '92, it’s halftime |
(Right…) Yo police, police man, yo let’s get ghost |
Halftime… |
