Nas

Nas
Use your own intuition. You are tomorrow.
Nas
I'm never gonna die, never heard of death, energy can never be destroyed only the flesh.
Nas

Nas

Nas
I like the way hip-hop is now. It's grown up enough so that it can get involved with politics if it feels like it.
Nas
The further I get, the further I want to go
Nas
When your so focused on what people say, how can your really be focused on the music? If you're concerned with what someone says, you aren't working on a real record. You're working on something that's just for now, to please people this very second... because you don't believe in yourself.
Nas
The whole thing is, do as much as you can, when you possibly can, and don't stress.
Nas
Big L scared me to death. When I heard that on tape, I was scared to death. I was like there's no way I can compete if this is what I gotta compete with.
Nas
What you call a infinite brawl, eternal souls clashin War gets deep, some beef is everlastin
Nas
Every generation witnesses atrocities. People in power try to fulfill prophecy.
Nas
I know i can, be what i wanna be, if i work hard at it, I'll be where i wanna be
