It Ain't Hard to Tell

Take it to the bridge
To the motherfuckin’bridge
Queensbridge in the motherfucker
(Hook)
It ain’t hard to tell
The buddha monk’s in your trunk, turn the bass up Not 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 ain’t hard to tell
I kick a skill like Shaquille holds a pill
Vocabulary spills I’m Ill
Plus Matic I freak a beat
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 sabotage me I leave’em froze like her-on in your nose
Nas could rock well
It ain’t hard to tell
(Hook)
It Ain’t hard to tell
What’s a beat if the rap don’t click
I spit rhymes like I’m sick, dying loss in a pit
The only way I can escape is by vocals
Verbalize a strife
Stabbin’ears like a knife hood like
The Prophet of the gutter
Lyrics are silk mega butter
I flow never stutter
Clever poetic brothers on a mission
Dissin’all who perps the fraud
Scrams listen, (and) do what the experts record
Burn your pen and pads, mics you’ll need not
Well I be packin’like a rasta in a weed spot
Hittin’your hearts like a hollow tip
Verbally illin’minds manipulated
My raps a nickel-plated
I illustrate it, X-rated, then move out
Nas the parlayer takes you on a new route
It’s suicide poetry released from a cell
With immense clientele, I excel
It ain’t hard to tell
(Hook)
It ain’t hard to tell
Now, I’m blessed with the finesse to express like Shakespeare
The blocks Cape Fear drop metaphors when the breaks clears
My mic check is life or death, breathin’a sniper’s breath
I exhale the yellow smoke of buddha through righteous steps
Deep like The Shining, 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
And in my physical, I’ll express through song
Delete stress like Moltrin, extend strong
Drink Moet with Medusa, give her shotguns inhale
From the spliff that I lifted in Hell
It ain’t hard to tell
(Hook)
It ain’t hard to tell
