More quotes by Nas
No matter where you're from - you can be Native American, Italian, Jewish, Latino, African-American - whatever you are, we're all distant relatives.
Nas
Some people work hard to be something that they're not, and I don't work at all, I'm just me. And that can bother anybody I'm not working nearly as hard as the other guys, and they don't like it.
Nas
You're supposed to be who you are. You're supposed to make music that is true to you.
Nas
I pledge allegiance to the fair and balanced truth. Not the biased truth, Not the liest truth, But the highest truth.
Nas
The flaws, the mistakes I make - that's the real me.
Nas

Nas
Anybody I'm dating, I don't want them to talk about my music. I don't talk about my music to them.
Nas
On the reals, all these crab niggaz know the deal, When we start the revolution, all they'll probably do is squeal.
Nas
I don't kill soloists only kill squads
Nas
I'm inspired by people like Nelson Mandela. Can you imagine - you know how racist America was back then - imagine how racism was in South Africa when he had to stand up and say what he had to say. That's bravery beyond comprehension.
Nas
Dogs live longer than rappers.
Nas
The further I get, the further I want to go
Nas
I have no tattoos that I regret - I have had some that I have had changed according to how my life was.
Nas
My record company had to beg me to stop filmin' music videos in the projects. No matter what the song was about, I had 'em out there.
Nas
My earliest memories of rap music was mixed with my earliest memories of reggae music. They were big sounds around the way, heavy bass lines, strong messages, definitely.
Nas
Everything will eventually come to an end, So try to savor the moment, cause time flies, don't it? The beauty of life, you gotta make it last for the better, Cause nothin' lasts forever.
Nas
