[00:16.26]Uh uh' yo
[00:18.78]
[00:19.46]They plan was to knock me
[00:20.72]Out the top of the game
[00:21.79]But I overstand they truth is all lame
[00:23.49]I hold cannons that shoot balls of flames
[00:26.37]Right in they fat mouth
[00:27.68]Then I carve my name
[00:28.81]Nas - too real' Nas - true king
[00:31.13]It's however you feel'
[00:32.15]G'head' you swing
[00:33.33]Your arms too short to box with god
[00:35.97]I don't kill soloists only kill squads
[00:38.05]Fame went to they head'
[00:39.73]So now it's"F**k Nas"
[00:40.91]Yesterday you begged for a deal'
[00:42.19]Today you tough guys
[00:43.19]I seen it comin
[00:44.38]Soon as I popped my first bottle
[00:45.75]I spotted my enemies tryna' do what I do
[00:47.89]Came in with my style' so I fathered you
[00:50.16]I kept changin on the world since" Barbeque"
[00:52.47]Now you wanna hang with niggas I hung with
[00:55.40]F**k b**ches I hit' it's funny I once said
[00:57.67]If I' ever make a record
[00:59.24]I take a check and put something away
[01:00.80]For a rainy day to make my exit
[01:02.50]But look at me now' ten years deep
[01:04.56]Since the project
[01:05.45]I never asked to be top of rap's elite
[01:07.82]Just a ghetto child tryna' learn the traps of the streets
[01:10.27]But look at me now
[01:11.60]"You're the man""You're the man"
[01:16.67]
[01:18.25]"You're the man""You're the man"
[01:22.00]
[01:23.00]"You're the man""You're the man"
[01:26.59]
[01:27.78]"You're the man""You're the man"
[01:31.35]
[01:32.53]"You're the man""You're the man"
[01:36.31]But wait a sec'' give me time
[01:37.43]To explain' women and fast cars
[01:38.58]And diamond rings can poison a rap star
[01:40.52]It's suicidal' how I smoke in so much la'
[01:42.89]I saw a dead bird flyin through a broken sky
[01:45.45]Wish I could flap wings and fly away
[01:47.42]To where black kings and Ghana stay
[01:48.85]So I could get on my flesh right away
[01:50.80]But that'll be the day when it's peace
[01:52.55]When my gat don't need to spray
[01:54.00]When these streets are safe to play
[01:55.43]Sex with death' indulge in these women
[01:56.87]Vision my own skeleton swimmin in eternal fire
[01:58.99]Broads play with pentagrams in they vagina
[02:01.94]Like the Exorcist' then they gave birth to my seeds
[02:04.60]I beg for God's help' why they love hurtin me
[02:07.10]I'm your disciple' a thug certainly
[02:08.74]I'm the N the A to the S-I-R
[02:11.70]If I wasn't I must've been Escobar
[02:14.08]Forty-five in my waist' starin at my reflection
[02:16.57]In the mirror' sittin still in the chair
[02:18.83]Like my conception
[02:19.27]When everything around me got cloudy'
[02:20.49]The chair became a king's throne
[02:22.36]My destiny found me
[02:23.73]It was clear why the struggle was so painful
[02:26.10]Metamorphosis' this is what I changed to
[02:28.68]And God' I'm so thankful
[02:30.44]"You're the man""You're the man"
[02:35.14]"You're the man""You're the man"
[02:39.97]"You're the man""You're the man"
[02:44.56]"You're the man""You're the man"
[02:49.58]"You're the man""You're the man"
