"Nasty Esco Nasir" lyrics

Nas & DJ Premier Lyrics

"Nasty Esco Nasir"

Yeah, this that one hand on the steerin' wheel music
Nasty, Esco, Nasir

Just designing this rhyme is a fight against time
Every minute they wait to hear of true titan's of crime
There's two types of villains that live in my mind
I'll define it as one killing with rhyme, the other dealin', supplyin'
Garments of all kind, no more designer to wear
Style more modest these years, honorable to compare
The Gods, Esco, Nasty Nas from Nasir
Since the sandbox came out of it
Pardon my ominous content, y'all should be scared
Birth certificate says Nasir
Origin not clear, but what a great name to bear
My name is not as common as Muhammad or as popular
Or as praiseworthy, so I adopted a moniker

I'm Nasty Nas, I was destined to be here
In Grandmaster Caz's atmosphere, to breathe Kool Moe Dee's air
It's Esco here, I like that hip-hop stuff
But come here, I'll whisper in your ear, I don't give a fuck
It sounds like it bothers you, that I'm just that guy, just that fly
Nah, but I know that you hate me for rapping the tracks
That sound like mafia movie scores, baby
That was your thing, you was getting that through the doors crazy
'Cause it didn't happen before me, sorry
You was talking Cristal first, yeah, that was all me
But I brought the blick to the church, I told you run it now
My jewelry box open, you hearin' a humming sound
Not humble, not underground
Fuck your cigars and fedora hats, this is real rap
What could be better than that?
Uh, the double R, the iciest jewels, cash rules
Heavenly messenger, white gloves, white shoes
Man, that sound materialistic, rapping bout how the rich live
Yo, that boom bap is too whack, that don't get you no bitches
Well, Nasty the type to rob you! Who you talking to? You, who? You
No one left in this room, just us t-

What the fuck?
Damn
Well, that was some great times shared
Now it's time for some words from the heart of Nasir
Yeah

I'm a father, philanthropist, film director, an author
Tech impresario, Resorts World Casino partner
A restaurateur
By the time you hear this song, I'll probably open up a whole new store
Get involved, I'm a mogul
Massive with my moves, everything got appeal
I'll lead the way, I'm trying to see much more of us here
Even make our own cigars top tier
We do branding, and spannin' a 30-year career
I'm just scratching the surface, the next phase of Nasir
Phase four, the fourth dimension
The legacy's here, and other things I won't mention
I'm winning when I'm not even trending
Trailblazing, the message I'm sending
When you evolve into your true growth, they say you can't do both
Feed your soul and get money, I'm like two goats
So I'm guessing as long as it's knocking, we'll solve the problem
When it's crack it'll rock at the bottom, then you got 'em
