歌词
("Nas is . . ." -Nas) 7x
Freedom of jail, clips inserted
是自由还是囚笼 子弹都已经上了膛
A baby is being born the same time my man is murdered
婴儿的降生总伴随兄弟被谋杀
The beginning and end
喜忧参半 开始伴随着终结
As far as rap go, it's only natural, I explain, my plateau
说唱生涯大起大落并不奇怪 而对于我 只有巅峰状态
And also, what defines my name
才能定义我的名字
First it was nasty, but times have changed Nasty Nas
已成为过去式
Ask me now, I'm the artist, but hardcore, my sign for pain
现在我变身艺术家 用硬核说唱讲述街头生活的水深火热
I spent time in the game, kept my mind on fame
混迹在说唱圈 想要保住地位名利
Saw fiends shoot up, and do lines of cocaine
而那些瘾君子们 天天无粉不欢
Saw my close friends shot, flatlining, my same
亲眼见到朋友被枪击 当场毙命 令我无法承受【Nas的好友Ill Will 92年被枪杀】
That the pen carry mac-10's to practice my aim
却也不得不拿出微冲练练靶子
On rooftops, tape cd covers to trees
爬上屋顶 树枝上挂满你们的垃圾唱片
Line the barrel up with your weed picture and squeeze
你们就像练靶子用的易拉罐 一个个被我射爆
Jesus's scriptures for lost souls, in the crossroads
我的街头圣经 写给那些出卖了自己灵魂 而迷失在十字路口的人
To the corners thugs hustlin' for cars that cost dough
因为他们只想着赚票子来买豪车
To the big dogs livin' large, takin' it light
写给那些住着豪宅 一掷千金的人
Pushin' big toys, gettin' nice, enjoyin' your life
加长车 貂皮衣 尽情享乐
Is what you make it, suicide, few try to take it
这样的醉生梦死 和自杀有什么区别?
Belt tied around their neck, in jail cells naked
结局就是光着身子在狱里用皮带上吊自杀
Heaven and hell, rap legend, presence is felt
肮脏的歌词给你天籁般的感受 说唱传奇 感受到了吗?
And of course N - A - S are the letters that spell . . . NAS, NAS NAS
就是我的大名
[01:11]Nas, Nas is like . .(scratching) . life or death (scratching)
[01:11]
[01:14]My rebel . (scratching). . My poetry's deep, I never fell . .(scratching)

[01:21]
Earth, wind and fire, rims and tires
金木水火土 无处不在 我的存在必不可少 就像靓车少不了酷炫的轮圈【Earth, Wind and Fire 是70年代著名黑人R&B乐队】
Bulletproof glass, inside is the realest driver
坐在防弹车里的我讲述着现实故事
Planets in orbit, line 'em up with the stars
行星恒星都按照轨道运行着
Tarot cards, you can see the pharaoh Nas
我就像是法老 用塔罗牌占卜掌控未来
(Nas is like. . -Nas) Nas...
就像
Iron mic, messiah type, before the Christ, after the death
铁人麦克无懈可击【麦克泰森】 又像救世主般 将永世长存
The last one left, let my cash invest in stock
赚的辛苦钱都拿来投资股票
Came a along way from blasted techs on block
一路血雨腥风 街头枪战不断
Went from Seiko to Rolex, ownin' acres
从精工戴到劳力士 当上了地主
>From the projects with no chips, to large cake dough
从做亏本生意到现在大赚特赚
Dimes, skinnin' fellatio, siete zeros, bet my nine spit for the pesos
泡妞赚钱 两不误 一赚就是七个零 九毫米手枪就是我的赚钱工具
But what's it all worth, can't take it when you under this Earth
但这一切值得吗? 钱生不带来死不带走
Rich men died and tried, but none of it worked
土豪们不断尝试着 却从未能成功【古埃及人相信带着金银财宝下葬 能让墓主人在下半生继续使用】
They just rob your grave, I'd rather be alive and paid
最后只有被盗的份 我还是宁愿活着的时候好好享受
Before my number's called, history's made
在上帝召唤我回归之前 历史将由我改写
Some will fall, but I rise, thug or die, makin' choices
有些人走着下坡路 而我正如日中天 战斗才是唯一选择
That determine my future under the sky, to rob, steal or kill
因为这关乎着我的未来 为了钱而打砸抢偷
I'm wondering why, it's a dirty game, is any man worthy of fame
让我实在不能理解 用着肮脏手段 还有什么名利可争?
Much to success to ya, even if you wish me the opposite
全方位完爆你 无所谓你诅咒我失败
Sooner or later we'll all see who the prophet is
等着瞧吧 看看谁才是预言家?

Sex to a nympho, but nothin' sweet
我的音乐让你上瘾 就像欲女需要行房
I'm like beef, bustin' heat through your windows
四处树敌 听我的歌要小心车外射来的子弹
I'm like a street sweeper, green leaf preeper
我就像街头收割者【一种大威力霰弹枪】秒杀你们 天天呼着叶子
Like Greeks in Egypt, learnin' something deep from their teachers
像希腊人在古埃及 向老师求教深奥的问题
I'm like crime, like your nine, your man you would die for
我就像你手上的手枪 是你唯一的倚靠 而你也愿意为我出生入死
Always got you, I'm like pop to you with crop for it
我永远支持着你 兄弟 你会为我的离去而哭泣 就像2Pac一样
I'm like a whole lot of loot, I'm like crisp money
我代表着财富 代表着收益
Corporate accounts from a rich company
对于公司来说我就是摇钱树
I'm like ecstasy for ladies, I'm like all races combined in one man
我能满足女人的任何需要 就像多人种的结合体
like the '99 summer jam, bulletproof hummer man
犹如99年的说唱盛会 出门只能开防弹悍马
I'm like being locked down around new faces, and none of 'em fam
因为感觉身边的人总都不怀好意
I'm the feeling of a millionaire spendin' a hundred grand
我就像个百万富翁 花个十几万手都不抖
I'm a poor man's dream, a thug poet
我是穷人们的偶像 一个战斗的诗人
Live it, and I write down and I watch it blow up
感受生活 灵感跃于纸上 看着这歌一路飚红
Y'all know what I'm like, ya play it your system every night
大家都懂我是谁 因为他们每天晚上都放着我的唱片
