 34086>{Intro}
 
 Take it to the bridge
 
 To the motherfuckin' bridge
 
 Queensbridge in the motherfucker
 
 (Hook)
 
 It ain't hard to tell
 
 *repeat 3x
 
 
 
 [Verse 1]
 
 The buddha monk's in your trunk, turn the bass up
 
 Not stories by Aesop, place your loot up, parties I shoot up
 
 Nas, I analyze, drop a jew-el, inhale from the L
 
 School a fool well
 
 You feel it like braille ain't hard to tell
 
 I kick a skill like Shaquille holds a pill
 
 Vocabulary spills I'm Ill
 
 Plus Matic I freak a beat
 
 Slam it like Iron Shiek
 
 Jam like a tech with correct techniques
 
 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 could rock well
 
 It ain't hard to tell
 
 
 
 (Hook)
 
 It Ain't hard to tell
 
 *repeat 3x
 
 
 
 [Verse 2]
 
 What's a beat if the rap don't click
 
 I spit rhymes like I'm sick, dying loss in a pit
 
 The only way I can escape is by vocals
 
 Verbalize a strife
 
 Stabbin' ears like a knife hood like
 
 The Prophet of the gutter
 
 Lyrics are silk mega butter
 
 I flow never stutter
 
 Clever poetic brothers on a mission
 
 Dissin' all the perps who fraud
 
 Scrams listen ? the experts with ?
 
 Burn your pen and pads, mics you'll need not
 
 Well I be packin' like a rasta in a weed spot
 
 Hittin' your hearts like a hollow tip
 
 Verbally illin' minds manipulated
 
 My raps a nickel-plated
 
 I illustrate it, X-rated, then move out
 
 Nas the parlayer takes you on a new route
 
 It's suicide poetry released from a cell
 
 With a minced clientele, I excel
 
 It ain't hard to tell
 
 
 
 (Hook)
 
 It ain't hard to tell
 
 *repeat 3x
 
 
 
 [Verse 3]
 
 Now, I'm blessed with the finesse to express like Shakespeare
 
 The blocks "Cape Fear" drop metaphors when the breaks clears
 
 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 Shining", sparkle like a diamond
 
 Sneak a Uzi on the island in my army jacket linin'
 
 Hit the Earth like a comet, invasion
 
 Nas is like the Afrocentric Asian, half-man, half-amazin
 
 And in my physical, I'll express through song
 
 Delete stress like Moltrin, extend strong
 
 Drink Moet with Medusa, give her shotguns inhale
 
 From the spliff that I lifted in Hell
 
 It ain't hard to tell
 
 (Hook)
 
 It ain't hard to tell
 
 *repeat 3x
