Nas - Nas is like

Freedom or j^Aail, clips inserted, a b^F#maby's being born Same t^G#mime a man is murdered—the beginning and ^C#mend As far as r^Aap go, it's only natural I exp^F#mlain My pl^G#mateau, and also, what defines my n^C#mame First it was N^Aasty, but times have cha^F#mnged Ask me now, I'm the ^G#martist, but hardcore, my sign is for p^C#main I spent ^Atime in the game, kept my ^F#mmind on fame Saw fie^G#mnds shoot up and do lines of coc^C#maine Saw my c^Alose friends shot, fla^F#mtline, am I sane? That dep^G#mends, carry MAC-10's to p^C#mractice my aim On r^Aooftops, tape CD covers to t^F#mrees Line the ba^G#mrrel up with your weak picture then s^C#mqueeze Street scrip^Atures for lost souls, in the c^F#mrossroads To the c^G#morner thugs hustling for cars that cost d^C#mough To the b^Aig dogs living large, ta^F#mking in light Pushing ^G#mbig toys, getting nice, enjoying your l^Eife It's what you m^Aake it, suicide, few try to t^F#make it Belt t^G#mied around their neck in jail cells nak^C#med ^AHeaven and Hell, rap legend, pres^F#mence is felt
