My Book Of Rhymes lyrics

by

Nas


Alchemist you know me man
I'm the type of n*gga that write rhymes right on the spot in the studio
Soon as I hear the track, you know what I'm sayin'?
Word but I wanted to bring a couple of books to the studio today

Man I found these sh*ts up in the crib man in boxes man
I don't even remember when I was writing these sh*ts
Oor what's in these sh*ts man probably a bunch of bullsh*t man
f*ck it check it

How can I trust you when I can't trust me?
Picture myself a old man a O.G
Some n*ggas will conversate with lairs all day time pass
(Nah lemme start somethin' else)

Soul on ice death threats given by clowns
I guess livin' is prison when you live around clowns
I'm hexed cursed worse I been blessed first I thought I was abnormal
'Cause I would overcome any tasked called to

So there it is I'ma prince I'ma get slain
Some do minor sh*t swear they on the top of they game
Ya rhymin' is called "Vagina Monologue"
It kinda supports theories of scary n*ggas who should lie in the morgue

Rarely y'all come in contact with the real
Since Pun passed he was the last shine of sun I could feel
Yo said there's a few left since music's expressions of life
Damn I wish I took more time to write in my book of rhymes
Oh sh*t Tina, I been lookin' for this b*tch number damn
No this rhyme is weak, this is week I remember this bullsh*t right here
(My book of rhymes)
Gandhi was a what the f*ck?

Gandhi was a fool, n*gga fight to the death
The US Army is a school that teach ya plights of conquest
(I wonder when I wrote this, nah it's weak)
The money's ya religion sky the limit live life
Numbers is big business makes the poor live strife

The glimmers of hope provoke those without dollars to dream
Through your existence become wealthy knowledge is king
Pimps and card sharks
Thieves murderers with hard luck

Addicts and fiends prostitutes passin' for teens is my society
Cops that shoot blacks is routine for notoriety
Grow up watchin' well dressed n*ggas with charms
Beautiful ladies on their arms

Dangerous new cars was my fantasy for Nas
Rubbing my lips with Campophenique
Still behind the ears wet turned out to be
Pioneers vets amongst hustlers crack sellers and lairs and squares
(Nah that was weak there)
My people be projects or jail never Harvard or Yale
Pardon me type in my two way while I'm chargin' my cell
It's hard to be iced up with Gucci
God poverty's real I can't fight you
'Cause you would sue me n*ggas be groupies

I see imitators tryin' to make albums spittin' my style
And they don't even realize that I notice they stealing Nas' sh*t
I pump some Rick James with that Teena Marie
My Nina lean on me like Swoop it's crap this can't be
My book of rhymes

This can't be my book of rhymes writing this bullsh*t
(My book of rhymes)
Nah neva that f*ck that, aw why you laughin' Alchemist?
Huh you a funny n*gga, naw yeah
(My book of rhymes)

I'm tellin' you I'ma come up with some new sh*t now
f*ck that I'ma write again now f*ck that
I musta been high on some sh*t
Mmm what the f*ck is this?

Look how we treat pregnancy women in the 'hood
Our values so low our values are no good
Things our mothers told us we shoulda heeded
'Cause now we need it, we older almost able t
I'm jealous of you how come you so beautiful?
Smelling fresh youthful intelligent while I'm stressin' and sh*t
Aiyo I envy you 'cause all you do is smile and things come your way
Such a innocent child is what some say

I get upset 'cause I just want to be treated the way you are
Like a star not a worry in this world thus far
But wait a minute we both need ya mother's attention
I must be crazy jealous of my own baby infant
(Kinda crazy)
