Nas
I lay puzzle as I backtrack to earlier times, Nothing's equivalent to the New York state of mind

I think hip hop allows us to talk about everything, and Africa is what I choose to talk about now. If people are not talking about Africa, that's them, that's cool, there's nothing wrong with that. But this is who I am, this is what I have to say, this is what I have to offer.

Nas
Love the skinny model chicks but I prefer the thickness.
Nas
I know you think my life is good 'cause my diamond piece, But my life been good since I started finding peace.
Nas
Never stop. Never settle. I believe in this message.
Nas
America is a melting pot for all different groups of people, historically. And it's rare that the story of all of these people will be told in the history books. So I always felt I had to find out my history for myself and research my roots.
Nas
You a slave to a page in my rhyme book.
Nas
Every generation witnesses atrocities. People in power try to fulfill prophecy.
