IT AINT HARD TO TELL...

One of the greatest displays of lyricism from the GOAT...and the human nature sample was genious (shouts to pete rock)



It ain't hard to tell, I excel, then prevail The mic is contacted, I attract clientele 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 Shinin', sparkle like a diamond Sneak a uzi on the island in my army jacket lineing 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 the next thing strong I drank Moet with Medusa, give her shotguns in hell From the spliff that I lift and inhale, it ain't hard to tell

The buddha monk's in your trunk, turn the bass up Not stories by Asaph, 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 It ain't hard to tell, I kick skill like Shaquille holds a pill Vocabulary spills I'm Ill plus Matic, I freak beats slam it like Iron Shiek
Jam like a tech with correct techniques So analyze me, surprise me but can't magmatize me Scannin while plannin ways to sabotage me I leave em froze like heroin 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 menestral cycles Street's disciple, I rock beats that's mega trifle And 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 fail Nas's raps should be locked in a cell
It ain't hard to tell
