[00:05.040] (Right..) (Right..)
[00:11.430] Check me out y'all, Nasty Nas in your area
[00:16.970] About to cause mass hysteria
[00:20.940] Before a blunt, I take out my fronts
[00:22.930] Then I start to front, matter of fact, I be on a manhunt
[00:26.140] You couldn't catch me in the streets without a ton of reefer
[00:28.730] That's like Malcolm X, catchin the Jungle Fever
[00:31.310] King poetic, too much flavor, I'm major
[00:33.590] Atlanta ain't Brave-r, I'll pull a number like a pager
[00:36.470] Cause I'm am ace when I face the bass
[00:38.650] 40-side is the place that is giving me grace
[00:41.250] Now wait, another dose and you might be dead
[00:43.760] And I'm a Nike head, I wear chains that excite the feds
[00:46.930] And ain't a damn thing gonna change
[00:48.910] I'ma performer (?) show the mic warmer was born to gain
[00:52.640] Nas, why did you do it?
[00:53.940] You know you got the mad fat fluid when you rhyme, it's halftime
[00:58.110] (Right..) It's halftime
[01:02.630] (Right..) Aiyyo it's halftime
[01:08.300] (Right..) It's halftime
[01:12.890] (Right..) Yeah, it's about halftime
[01:16.990] This is how it feel, check it out, how it feel
[01:18.450] It's like that, you know it's like that
[01:20.220] I got it hemmed, now you never get the mic back
[01:22.910] When I attack, there ain't an army that could strike back
[01:25.430] So I react never calmly on a hype track
[01:28.140] I set it off with my own rhyme
[01:30.670] Cause I'm as ill as a convict who kills for phone time
[01:33.710] I'm max like cassettes, I flex like ***
[01:36.170] In your stereo sets, Nas will catch wreck
[01:38.770] I used to hustle, now all I do is relax and strive
[01:41.760] When I was young, I was a fan of the Jackson 5
[01:44.300] I drop jewels, wear jewels, hope to never run it
[01:47.040] With more kicks than a baby in a mother's stomach
[01:49.510] Nasty Nas has to rise cause I'm wise
[01:51.950] This is exercise 'til the microphone dies
[01:54.570] Back in eighty-three I was an MC sparking
[01:56.890] But I was too scared to grab the mic's in the park and
[01:59.750] Kick my little raps cause I thought *****z wouldn't understand
[02:02.950] And now in every jam I'm the ****in man
[02:05.220] I rap in front of more *****z than in the slave ships
[02:07.890] I used to watch C.H.I.P.S., now I load glock clips
[02:10.330] I got to have it, I miss Mr. Magic
[02:12.730] Versatile, my style switches like a ******
[02:15.340] But not *****ual, I'm an intellectual
[02:18.050] Of rap, I'm a professional and that's no question, yo
[02:20.950] These are the lyrics of the man, you can't near it, understand
[02:23.570] Cuz in the streets, I'm well known like the number man
[02:26.060] In my place wit the bass and format
[02:28.570] Explore rap, and tell me Nas ain't all that
[02:31.020] And next time I rhyme, I be foul
[02:33.340] Whenever I freestyle I see trial *****z say I'm wow
[02:36.320] I hate a rhymebiter's rhyme
[02:39.290] Stay tuned, Nas, soon the real rap comes at halftime
[02:41.510] (Right..) It's halftime
[02:47.330] (Right..) Exhale, check it it's halftime
[02:51.330] (Right..) It's halftime
[02:52.530] (Right..) It's real in the field
[02:57.130] Word life, check it
[03:02.770] I got it goin on, even flip 'em on this song
[03:05.180] Every afternoon, I kick half the tune
[03:07.890] And in the darkness, I'm heartless like when the NARCs hit
[03:10.910] Word to Marcus Garvey I hardly sparked it
[03:13.120] Cause when I blast the herb, that's my word
[03:15.430] I be slayin them fast, doing this that and the third
[03:17.910] But chill, past to Andre, and let's slay
[03:20.530] I bag *****es up at John Jay, and hit a matinee
[03:23.480] Puttin hits on 5-0
[03:25.590] Csudr when it's my time to go, I wait for God wit the fo'-fo'
[03:28.700] And biters can't come near
[03:30.450] And yo, go to hell to the foul cop who shot Garcia
[03:33.540] I won't plant seeds, don't need an extra mouth I can't feed
[03:36.390] That's extra Phillie change, more cash for that ****
[03:39.230] This goes out to Manhattan, the island of Staten
[03:41.920] Brooklyn and Queens is livin fat and
[03:44.330] The Boogie Down, enough props, enough clout
[03:46.730] Ill Will, rest in peace, yo, I'm out
[03:50.260] (Right..) It's still halftime
[03:55.120] (Right..) To the Queensbridge crew
[03:58.740] To the Queensbridge crew, you know it's halftime
[04:00.490] (Right..) Ninety-two, it's halftime
[04:05.530] (Right..) Yo police, police man, yo let's get ghost
[04:09.650] Halftime..
