It Ain't Hard To Tell

It ain't hard to tell, I excel then prevail The mic is contacted, I attract clientèle 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' 'Cause in my physical, I can express through song Delete stress like Motrin, then extend strong I drank Moet with Medusa, give her shotguns in Hell From the spliff that I lift an' inhale It ain't hard to tell The Buddha monk's in your trunk, turn the ba*s up Not stories by Aesop, place your loot up Parties, I shoot up Nas, I analyze, drop a jewel, inhale from the L School a fool, well, you feel it like Braille It ain't hard to tell I kick a skill like Shaquille holds a pill Vocabulary spills I'm 'Ill' plus 'Matic' I freak beats, slam it like Iron Sheik 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 heron 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 menstrual cycles Street's disciple, I rock beats that's mega trifle An' groovy but smoother than moves by Villanova You're still a soldier, I'm like Sly Stone in 'Cobra' Packin' like a rasta in the weed spot Vocals'll squeeze glocks, MC's eavesdrop 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
