Nas Lyrics for Song: Book Of Rhymes
 Lyrics for Album: God's Son [2002]
 
 
 
 1994>Alchemist you know me man
 
 I'm the type of nigga that write rhymes right on the spot in the studio
 
 soon as I hear the track; you know what I'm sayin?
 
 Word but I wanted to bring a couple of books to the studio today
 
 Man I foundthese shits up in the crib man in boxes man
 
 I don't even remember when I was writing these shits
 
 or what's in these shits man probably a bunch of bullshit man
 
 Fuck it check it
 
 
 
 How can I trust you when I can't trust me?
 
 Picture myself a old man a O.G.
 
 Some niggas will conversate with liers all day
 
 Time pass...(Nah lemme start somethin' else)
 
 Soul on ice death threats given by clowns
 
 I guess livin' is prison when you live around clowns
 
 I'm hexed cursed worse I been blessed first
 
 I thought I was abnormal cause I would overcome any tasked called to
 
 So there it is I'ma prince I'ma get slain
 
 Some do minor shit'swear they on the top of they game
 
 Ya rhymin' is called "Vagina Monologue"
 
 It kinda supports theories of scary niggas who should lie in the morgue
 
 Rarely y'all come in contact with the real
 
 Since Pun passed he was the last shine of sun I could feel
 
 Yo said there's a few left since music's expressions of life
 
 Damn I wish I took more time to write in my book of rhymes
 
 
 
 Oh shit Tina - I been lookin' for this bitch number damn.
 
 No this rhyme is weak..
 
 This is week I remember this bullshit right here
 
 (My Book of Rhymes)
 
 Gandhi was a... what the fu..?
 
 
 
 Gandhi was a fool, nigga fight to the death
 
 The US Army is a school that teach ya plights of conquest
 
 (I wonder when I wrote this. Nah it's weak)
 
 The money's ya 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
 
 Grow up watchin' well dressed niggas with charms
 
 Beautiful ladies on their arms
 
 Dangerous new cars was my fantasy for Nas
 
 Rubbin my lips with Campophenique
 
 Still behind the ears wet turned out to be
 
 Pioneers vets amongst hustlers crack sellers and liers and squares...
 
 (Nah that was weak there)
 
 My people be projects or jail never Harvard or Yale
 
 Pardon me type in my 2way while I'm chargin' my cell
 
 It's hard to be iced up with Gucci god poverty's real
 
 I can't fight you cause you would sue me niggas be groupies
 
 I see imitators tryin' to make albums spittin' my style
 
 And they don't even realize that I notice they stealing Nas' shit
 
 I pump some Rick James with that Teena Marie
 
 My nina lean on me like Swoop it's crap this can't be
 
 My book of rhymes
 
 
 
 This can't be my book of rhymes writing this bullshit!
 
 (My Book of Rhymes)
 
 Nah neva that fuck that, aw why you laughin' Alchemist?
 
 Huh you a funny nigga... naw yeah
 
 (My Book of Rhymes)
 
 I'm tellin' you I'ma come up with some new shit now
 
 Fuck that I'ma write again now fuck that
 
 I musta been high on some shit mmm what the fuck is this?
 
 
 
 Look how we treat pregnancy women in the 'hood
 
 Our values so low our values are no good
 
 Things our mothers told us we shoulda heeded
 
 Cause now we need it
 
 We older almost able t...
 
 I'm jealous of you how come you so beautiful?
 
 Smelling fresh youthful intelligent while I'm stressin' and shit
 
 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
 
 (Kinda crazy)
