[00:00.97]It ain't ain’t ain’t... hard to tell
[00:28.76]It ain't hard to tell, I excel, then prevail
[00:31.62]The mic is contacted, I attract clientele
[00:34.22]My mic check is life or death, breathin a sniper's breath
[00:36.89]I exhale the yellow smoke of buddha through righteous steps
[00:39.54]Deep like The Shinin', sparkle like a diamond
[00:41.99]Sneak a uzi on the island in my army jacket linin
[00:44.75]Hit the Earth like a comet invasion
[00:46.89]Nas is like the Afrocentric Asian, half-man, half-amazin
[00:49.87]Cause in my physical, I can express through song
[00:52.46]Delete stress like Motrin, then extend strong
[00:55.02]I drank Moet with Medusa, give her shotguns in hell
[00:57.51]From the spliff that I lift and inhale, it ain't hard to tell
[01:00.92]If they say, why, why?
[01:03.01]Tell 'em that is human nature
[01:05.56]Why, why does he do me that way?
[01:10.01]If they say, why, why?
[01:13.43]Tell 'em that is human nature
[01:16.09]Why, why does he do me that way?
[01:21.53]Reaching out to touch a stranger
[01:26.76]Electric eyes are everywhere
[01:31.82]See that girl, she knows I'm watching
[01:37.34]She likes the way I stare
[01:41.33]If they say, why, why?
[01:44.84]Tell 'em that is human nature
[01:47.36]Why, why does he do me that way?
[01:52.98]It ain't hard to tell. (Why, why?)
[01:58.04]It ain't hard to tell. (Why, why?)
[02:02.94]It ain't hard to tell. (Why, why?)
[02:08.56]It ain't hard to tell. (Why, why?)
[02:14.18]This rhythmatic explosion, is what your frame of mind has chosen
[02:17.75]I'll leave your brain stimulated, ****** is frozen
[02:20.05]Speak with criminal slang, begin like a violin
[02:22.70]End like Leviathan, it's deep well let me try again
[02:25.54]Wisdom be leakin out my grapefruit troop
[02:27.84]I dominate break loops, givin mics men-e-straul cycles
[02:30.27]Street's disciple, I rock beats that's mega trifle
[02:33.01]And groovy but smoother than moves by Villanova
[02:35.81]You're still a soldier, I'm like Sly Stone in Cobra
[02:38.57]Packin like a rasta in the **** spot
[02:40.72]Vocals'll squeeze glocks, MC's eavesdrop
[02:42.92]Though they need not to sneak
[02:44.71]My poetry's deep, I never fell
[02:46.49]Nas's raps should be locked in a cell
[02:48.53]It ain't hard to tell
[02:50.68]That way
[02:55.65]That way
[03:01.03]It ain't hard to tell
