More quotes by Nas
I don't kill soloists only kill squads
Nas
I think hip-hop could help rebuild America, once hip-hoppers own hip-hop... We are our own politicians, our own government, we have something to say. We're warriors. Soldiers.
Nas
I've met a lot of people and happened to inspire a lot of people who I'm in conversation with about business. It's just how things are going for me and it's great, but music is always going to be number one for me.
Nas
I never see the whips niggas be claimin' they drivin, I guess 'entertainment' means blatantly lyin'.
Nas
Use your own intuition. You are tomorrow.
Nas

Nas
I don't have time for the news clippings. I got my own mission.
Nas
And the stuff that I write, is even tougher than dykes.
Nas

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
I don't respect killers, I respect O.G. knowledge, Codes of the streets got new rules, but no guidance. Lessons, detrimental to a young disciple Folks, take care of your brothers, niggas do as I do. Keep your enemies close, where they can see you. It's not your enemy who get you, it's always your own people.
Nas
How can you lose when you're doing you?
Nas
I don't get jealousy, I don't get how people hate each other - I never did.
Nas
Respect all fear none my pride is everything
Nas
No temporary chaos is worth your sanity. Just knowing that whatever happens, it happens to the best of them too.
Nas
I had a pretty public divorce. They're not easy - divorces - and it took me a long time to really get through.
Nas
I'm out for presidents to represent me (Say what?) I'm out for dead presidents to represent me.
Nas
You a slave to a page in my rhyme book.
Nas
I rap for listeners, blunt heads, fly ladies and prisoners
Nas
I know i can, be what i wanna be, if i work hard at it, I'll be where i wanna be
Nas
