It Ain't Hard to Tell - The Laidback Remix

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 Moët with Medusa, give her shotguns in Hell

From the spliff that I lift, an' inhale

It ain't hard to tell

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 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

It ain't hard to tell

This rhythmatic explosion

Is what your frame of mind has chosen

I'll leave your brain stimulated, niggas 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
