Nas
Some people say I'm conscious, some say I'm a gangsta rapper - it's just me doing me. I'm stomping in my own lane. I'm doing what I do.

Nas
Аll I need is one life, one try, one breath, I'm one man. What I stand for speaks for itself...they don't understand.
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
Hip-Hop is Dead cause America is dead culturally.
Nas
Every generation witnesses atrocities. People in power try to fulfill prophecy.
Nas
Just sitting in silence is one of the best things a man can do.
Nas
Some seek fame cause they need validation, Some say hating is confused admiration.
Nas
I don't go out unless I'm working. My quality time is when I'm doing nothing.
Nas
