The girl you love could start to hate you, the S!!!you use to do escape you
Things that make you laugh represent the past
Reminisce the block gamble gees on the floor
%!%@$# use to be the man, you don't see 'em no more
There shouldn't be nobody homeless
How can the president fix other problems when he ain't fixed home yet
The earth wasn't made for one man to rule alone

one of the realest things ever.

those are two of my favs, what are yalls. (try not to post whole verses, and if you do, try and bold the fire...prolly lead to whole things bolded but...)
 
"I Need a New Person, For This Black Cloud To Follow...Cause While It's Over Me It's Too Dark To See Tomorrow..."

"...One life one love so there can only be one king"
 
My bad, should I step out my shoes, give 'em to you?
Here's my cars and my house, you can live in that too
Criticize when I flow for the streets, hate my dress code
Gucci this, Fendi that, what you expect #$%?
- Hate Me Now


It ain't hard to tell, I excel, then prevail
The mic is contacted, I attract clientele
My mic check is life or death, breathin a sniper's breath
I exhale the yellow smoke of buddha through righteous steps
Deep like The Shinin', sparkle like a diamond
Sneak a uzi on the island in my army jacket linin

- It Ain't Hard to Tell

The hardest thing is to forgive, but God does
Even if you murdered or robbed, yeah it's wrong, but God loves
Take one step toward him, he takes two toward you
Even when all else fail, God support you
I done it, got God Son on my stomach
My heart and my lungs was affected from Henny's and gettin blunted
Do your body right and it loves you back
You only get one life, and yo because of that
I'm still blazin, goin out for the cause
Still rockin stockin caps, not for the waves, obeyin no laws
And it's like that
- Doo Rags

"Streets disciple, my raps are trifle. I shoot slugs from my brain just like a rifle."
"Everything would eventually come to an end, so try to savor the moments because time fly don't it?

The beauty of life its to make it last for the better because nothing lasts forever.. Nothing Last forever"
There's more, but this is from the top of my head.

I drop jewels, wear jewels, hope to never run it
With more kicks than a baby in a mother's stomach-halftime
 
When you make a girl leave her man, you never really know where she stand/
How you know she really yours, somebody could do the same to you....


Code:
Spit it, I'm Huey P in Louis V at the eulogy throwing Molotov for EmmitYou aint as hot as I isAll of these fake prophets are not messiahsYou don't know how high the sky isThe square milage of Earth, or what pi isI'm the shaky hand that touched Geogre Foreman in ZaireThe same hand that punched down devils that brought down the towers....
 
Life's a $!*@#, but God forbid the $!*@# divorce me
(Affirmitive Action)

The hardest thing is to forgive, but God does
Even if you murdered or robbed, yeah it's wrong, but God loves
Take one step toward him, he takes two toward you
Even when all else fail, God support you
I done it, got God Son on my stomach
My heart and my lungs was affected from Henny's and gettin blunted
Do your body right and it loves you back
You only get one life, and yo because of that
I'm still blazin, goin out for the cause
Still rockin stockin caps, not for the waves, obeyin no laws
And it's like that


(Doo rags)

To my deceased Gods wishin I could bring you back
But life is a dream and y'all taught me that

(We will survive)


I move swift and uplift
your mind shoot the gift when I riff in rhyme
Rappin sniper, speakin real words
My thoughts react, like Steven Spielberg's
Poetry attacks, paragraphs punch hard
My brain is insane, I'm out to lunch God
Science is dropped, my raps are toxic
My voicebox locks and excels like a rocket

(Live at the bbq)

A bunch from My way-

Yo, #%#+ on my focus slow me, roll with the brokest homies
Cold and we hopeless lonelies, scolding my foes who phony

I did it my way, gangstas do what they want
Suckers do what they can

I live for street glory and I die for ghetto fame
Respect all, fear none, my pride is everything


Everything will eventually come to an end
So try to savor the moment, cuz time flies don't it
The beauty of life, you gotta make it last for the better
Cuz nothin' lasts forever

(Nothing lasts forever)


The whole 3rd verse from One love...



A bunch more that'll probably come to me later
 
before a blunt i take out my fronts, then i start to front
matter fact i be on a man hunt
you couldn't catch me in the streets without a ton of reefer
thats like Malcolm x catchin the jungle fever
king poetic 2 much flavor im major
atlanta a braver ill pull a number like a pager
see im a ace when i face the bass.....etc.
 
Nas, I analyze, drop a jew-el, inhale from the L
School a fool well, you feel it like braille


So analyze me, surprise me, but can't magmatize me
Scannin while you're plannin ways to sabotage me
I leave em froze like her-on in your nose
Nas'll rock well, it ain't hard to tell


Old cribs I sold, y'all drive by like monuments
Google Earth Nas; I got flats in other continents
 
i could be here all day quoting my dude but my favorite 2 quotes off the top of my head are:

"my pen taps the paper then my brain's blank
i see dark streets, hustling brothers who keep the same rank
pumping for something, some uprise plus some fail
judges hanging _s, incorrect bails for direct sales
my intellect prevails from a hanging cross with nails
i reinforce the frail with lyrics that's real
word to Christ, a disciple of streets, trifle on beats
i decipher prophecies through a mic and say, Peace
i hung around the older dudes while they slang smack to dingbats
they spoke of Fat Cat, that _'s name made bells ring, black
some fiends scream about Supreme Team, a Jamaica Queens thing
Uptown was Alpo, son, heard he was kingpin, yo
fck rap is real, watch the herbs stand still
never talking to snakes cuz the words of man kill
true in the game as long as blood is blue in my veins
i pour a Heineken brew for my deceased crew in memory lane..."
- memory lane

"so i be ghost from my projects
i take my pen and pad for the weekend, hittin' Ls while i'm sleepin
a two day stay, you may say i need the time alone
to relax my dome, no phone, left the 9 at home
you see these streets have me stressed something terrible
messin with them corners have a _ up in Bellevue
or HDM, hit with numbers from 8 to 10
a future in a maximum state pen is grim
so i goes back home, nobody's out but shorty doowop
rollin 2 phillies together, in the bridge we call em oowops
he said, Nas, _s caught me bustin off the roof
so i wear a bulletproof and pack a black trey deuce
he inhaled so deep, shut his eyes like he was sleep
started coughin, one eye peaked to watch me speak
i sat back like the mack, my army suit was black
we was sittin on the benches where he pumped his loose crack
i took the L when he passed it, this little bastard
keeps me blasted and starts talking mad sht
i had to school him, told him don't let _s fool him
cuz when the pistol blows, the one that's murdered be the cool one
tough luck when _s is struck, family's fcked up
coulda caught your man but didn't look when you bucked up
mistakes happen, so take heed
never bust up at the crowd, catch him solo and make the right man bleed
shorty's laugh was cold blooded as he spoke so foul
only 12 tryna tell me that he liked my style
so i rose, wipin' the blunt's ash from my close
and froze, only to blow the herb smoke through my nose
and told my little man that i'm a ghost cyprose
left some jewels in his skull that he could sell if he chose
words of wisdom from Nas, try to rise up above
keep an eye out for jake, shorty wop, one love..."
- One Love (one thing that made me appreciate this verse 10x more is the Belly scene)

but nas's single best and least understood lyric is:
"i drink Moet with Medusa, give her shotguns in Hell"

he's saying he's giving medusa a shotgun, which is when you put a blunt in your mouth and exhale so the smoke goes through the opposite end, and havesomeone stand on the other end and inhale the smoke, so he's saying he's getting Medusa stoned

another interesting thing about that line is that you have to look the other person in their eyes when you give them a shotgun, so he's saying he'sstaring Medusa in her eyes and getting HER stoned, when anyone who looks Medusa in her eyes is to be turned to stone instantly

i don't know if i explained that well but if you're familiar with a shotgun and Medusa, that line is incredible and the fact that Nas wrote that whenhe was like 18 is even more amazing

nas = top 3 doa
 
when I rap about war
They got a tendency to scatter, they ain't my backup no more
So now my enemies are at my front door
Cause anytime we mention our condition, our history or existence
They callin it reverse racism
Still to this day the streets torn - my brother Jung'
I'll always have a seat for him - not behind me, beside me
You'll always know where to find me
They say the close ones will hurt you
So let's keep a small circle
On the road to riches and diamond rings
In the land of the blind, the man with one eye is the king

"The beauty of life
is when my momma told me you could be christ
I wasn't old enough to hold my %%*@ and pee right"


You should live, there's only one life that's the physical
Rich or poor in jail why the ##%$ should you be miserable
Things happen for reasons, the clock keeps tickin'
Love could have your heart beat skippin', thugs turn to religion
The %$@#$ you love could start to hate you, the $%#% you use to do escape you
Things that make you laugh represent the past
Reminisce the block gamble gees on the floor
!%!#%% use to be the man, you don't see 'em no more
Your favorite restaurants and favorite stores, they tore 'em down
Turn 'em into shopping malls the hood is like a ghost town
Haunted by souls who thought that time stood still
Just live your life to the fullest, never look back, it's real
 
"Call yourself gangsta, but you were begging for pardon
that night in Carbon, when Terror Squad flipped on your squadron
tried to front on their checks till Pun put a gun to your chest."

"Open your eyes to the lies history's told foul
But I'm as wise as an old owl
Plus the golden child seeing things like I was controllin
Click rollin
Tricking six digits on kicks and still holdin"

"Don't say my car's topless, say the ******* is out"

I'm suicidal, high smoking so much la
I saw a dead bird flying through a broken sky"
