VERSE 1:
Freedom or jail
Clips inserted
A baby's being born
Same time a man is murdered
The beginning and end
As far as rap go
It's only natural I explain
My plateau, and also
What defines my name
First it was nasty
But times have changed
Ask me now, I'm the artist
But hardcore, my signs
are pain
I spent time in the game
Kept my mind in fame
Saw fiends shoot up
And do lines of cocaine
Saw my close friend shot
Flatlinin', my scene
That depends, carry
Mac-10's
To practice my aim
On rooftops, tapes, CD covers
and trees
Line the barrel up
Weak picture them squeeze
Street scriptures, for
lost souls
In the crossroads
To the corner thugs
Hustlin' for cars that
cost dough
To the big dogs livin' large
Takin' it light
Pushin' big toys
Gettin' nice, enjoyin'
your life
Is what you make it
Suicide, few tried to take it
Belt tied around they neck
In jail cells naked
Heaven and hell
Rap legend, presidents fell
And of course N-A-S are
The letters that spell

CHORUS:
Nas is like life or death
I'm a rebel
My poetry's deep I never fail
Nas is like half man
half amazin'
No doubt
Nas is like life or death
I'm a rebel
My poetry's deep I never fail
Nas is like half man
half amazin'
No doubt

VERSE 2:
Nas is like
Earth, wind and fire
Rims and tires
Bullet-proof glass
Inside is the realest driver
Planets in orbit
Line'em up with the stars
Tarot cards you can see the Pharaoh Nas
Nas is like
Iron Mike, Messiah type
Before the Christ
After the death
The last one left
Let my cash invest in stock
Came a long way
From blastin' techs on blocks
Went from Seiko to Rolex
Ownin' acres
From the projects with no chips
To large cake though
Dimes givin' fellatio
Ciete zeros
Bet my nine spit for the pesos
But what's it all worth
Can't take it with you
Under this earth
Rich men died and tried
But none of it worked
They just rob your grave
I'd rather be alive and paid
Before my number's called
History's made
Some'll fall but a wise thug'll die
Makin choices that determine
My future under the sky
To rob, steal, and kill
I'm wonderin' why
It's a dirty game
Is any man worthy of fame
Much success to you
Even if you wish me the opposite
Sooner or later
We'll all see who the prophet is

CHORUS:
Nas is like life or death
I'm a rebel
My poetry's deep I never fail
Nas is like half man
half amazin'
No doubt
Nas is like life or death
I'm a rebel
My poetry's deep I never fail
Nas is like half man
half amazin'
No doubt

VERSE 3:
Nas is like
Sex to a nympho
But nothin' sweet
I'm like beef bustin'
Heat through your window
I'm like a street sweeper
Green leaf breather
Like Greeks, I'm into learnin'
Somethin' deep from
they teachers
I'm like crime like a 9
The man you would die for
Always guide you
I'm like pop duke, you would
cry for
I'm like a whole lot of loot
I'm like crisp money
Corporate accounts from a
rich company
I'm like ecstasy for ladies
I'm like all races combined in
one man
Like the '99 summer jam
Bullet proof hummer man
I'm like being locked down
Around new faces
And none of'em fans
I'm the feeling of
a millionaire
Spendin' 100 grand
I'm a poor man's dream
A thug poet
Live it, and I write down
And I watch it blow up
Y'all play it in your system
Every night

CHORUS:
Nas is like life or death
I'm a rebel
My poetry's deep I never fail
Nas is like half man
half amazin'
No doubt
Nas is like life or death
I'm a rebel
My poetry's deep I never fail
Nas is like half man
half amazin'
No doubt
