The beat is another banger from Alchemist as always. But the lyrics he's spitting are

Classic. In everyway shape or form. Alchemist killed it. Nas flow is just so redicilous on it, In High school I used to come home and just stare at the ceilinglistening to this##+%. I'm about to go listen now

Def one of the Stronger tracks on God's Son.
 
Heres the funny thing I love the beat and dont mind the rhymes almost really like em cuz of what he's trying to say and his flow was on point but I dontlike them together. I like other ppl spittin on the beat and I like the lyrics better on other beats

If money's your religion sky the limit live life
Numbers is big business makes the poor live trife
The glimmers of hope provoke those without dollars to dream
Through your existence become wealthy knowledge is king
Pimps and card sharks thiefs murderers with hard luck
Addicts and fiends prostitutes passin' for teens is my society
Cops that shoot blacks is routine for noteriety

............
 
I think this song is fire

you're right about the rhymes beingsimplistic but it is more about the concept of the song than the wordplay...just like that song rewind, the whole concept is cool while the lyrics are ok.

I hate this song now because all it does is remind me of how nice can be and how seldom we see that version of Nasir anymore.

Man the lyrics are dope on rewind

Jungle unrolls it put his weed back in the jar, the blunt turns back to a cigar
 
Complete Classic...im about to give it a spin right now

EDIT: i love this verse

I'm jealous of you how come you so beautiful?
Smelling fresh youthful intelligent while I'm stressin' and s%^&
Aiyo I envy you 'cause all you do is smile and things come your way
Such a innocent child is what some say
I get upset 'cause I just want to be treated the way you are
Like a star not a worry in this world thus far
But wait a minute we both need ya mother's attention
I must be crazy jealous of my own baby infant...
