Book Of Rhymes (Explicit Version) - Nas (奈斯)[00:00:00]
Alchemist you know me man[00:00:01]
I'm the type of ni**a that write rhymes[00:00:03]
Right on the spot in the studio soon as I hear the track[00:00:04]
You know what I'm sayin' [00:00:07]
Word but I wanted to bring a couple of books[00:00:09]
To the studio today man I found these shits[00:00:11]
Up in the crib man in boxes man[00:00:13]
I don't even remember when I was writing these shits[00:00:15]
Or what's in these shits man probably a bunch of b******t[00:00:18]
F**k it check it[00:00:20]
How can I trust you when I can't trust me [00:00:22]
Picture myself a old man a O G [00:00:25]
Some niggas will conversate with liers all day time pass[00:00:27]
Nah lemme start somethin' else[00:00:32]
Soul on ice death threats given by clowns[00:00:34]
I guess livin' is prison when you live around clowns[00:00:36]
I'm hexed cursed worse I been blessed first[00:00:39]
I thought I was abnormal[00:00:42]
'Cause I would overcome any task called to[00:00:43]
So there it is I'ma prince I'ma get slain[00:00:45]
Some do minor sh*t swear they on the top of they game[00:00:48]
Ya rhymin' is called 'Vagina Monologue'[00:00:51]
It kinda supports theories of scary niggas[00:00:53]
Who should lie in the morgue[00:00:55]
Rarely y'all come in contact with the real[00:00:57]
Since Pun passed he was the last shine of sun I could feel[00:00:58]
Yo said "There's a few left since music's expressions of life"[00:01:02]
Damn I wish I took more time to write in my Book of Rhymes[00:01:05]
Oh sh*t Tina been lookin' for this b**ch number damn[00:01:09]
No this rhyme is weak this is weak[00:01:15]
I remember this b******t right here[00:01:17]
My Book of Rhymes[00:01:19]
Gandhi was a what the f**k [00:01:20]
Gandhi was a fool ni**a fight to the death[00:01:22]
The US Army is a school that teach ya plights of conquest[00:01:25]
I wonder when I wrote this nah it's weak[00:01:27]
The money's ya religion sky's the limit live life[00:01:30]
Numbers is big business makes the poor live trife[00:01:33]
The glimmers of hope provoke those without dollars to dream[00:01:35]
Through your existence become wealthy knowledge is king[00:01:39]
Pimps and card sharks thiefs murderers with hard luck[00:01:42]
Addicts and fiends prostitutes passin' for teens is my society[00:01:45]
Cops that shoot blacks is routine for notoriety[00:01:49]
Grow up watchin' well dressed niggas with charms[00:01:52]
Beautiful ladies on their arms[00:01:54]
Dangerous new cars was my fantasy for Nas[00:01:56]
Rubbin' my lips with Campophenique[00:01:59]
Still behind the ears wet turned out to be pioneer's vets[00:02:02]
Amongst hustlers crack sellers and liers and squares[00:02:05]
Nah that was weak there[00:02:09]
My people be projects or jail never Harvard or Yale[00:02:11]
Pardon me type in my two way while I'm chargin' my cell[00:02:14]
It's hard to be iced up with Gucci God poverty's real[00:02:17]
I can't fight you 'cause you would sue me niggas be groupies[00:02:20]
I see imitators tryin' to make albums spittin' my style[00:02:22]
And they don't even realize that I notice they stealin' Nas' sh*t[00:02:25]
I pump some Rick James with that Teena Marie[00:02:28]
My Nina lean on me like Swoop it's crap[00:02:31]
This can't be my Book of Rhymes[00:02:33]
This can't be my Book of Rhymes writin' this b******t [00:02:35]
My Book of Rhymes[00:02:39]
Nah neva that f**k that aww why you laughin' Alchemist [00:02:40]
Huh you a funny ni**a nah yeah[00:02:45]
My Book of Rhymes[00:02:50]
I'm tellin' you I'ma come up with some new sh*t now[00:02:52]
F**k that I'ma write again now f**k that[00:02:55]
I musta been high on some sh*t[00:02:56]
What the f**k is this [00:02:59]
Look how we treat pregnancy women in the 'hood[00:03:02]
Our values so low our values are no good[00:03:05]
Things our mothers told us we shoulda heeded[00:03:08]
'Cause now we need it we older almost able to[00:03:10]
I'm jealous of you how come you so beautiful [00:03:14]
Smelling fresh youthful intelligent while I'm stressin' this sh*t[00:03:16]
Aiyo I envy you 'cause all you do is smile and things come your way[00:03:19]
"Such a innocent child" is what some say[00:03:23]
I get upset 'cause I just want to be treated the way you are[00:03:25]
Like a star not a worry in this world thus far[00:03:28]
But wait a minute we both need ya mother's attention[00:03:31]
I must be crazy jealous of my own baby infant kinda crazy[00:03:34]
