Nas
But uhh, a thug changes, and love changes and best friends become strangers, word up

Nas

Nas
I pledge allegiance to the fair and balanced truth. Not the biased truth, Not the liest truth, But the highest truth.
Nas

Never stop. Never settle. I believe in this message.
Nas
Me and hip-hop have a relationship that has nothing to do with no other rapper, no matter where you from or nothing. Every n*gga got his own personal relationship with hip-hop and this is mine.
Nas
I push my own limits every day, every moment - in the studio, on the stage and beyond so it's truly a genuine fit.
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
I have no tattoos that I regret - I have had some that I have had changed according to how my life was.
Nas
Whose world is this? The world is yours.
Nas
And the stuff that I write, is even tougher than dykes.
Nas
I wanted to say what wasn't being said. I wanted to give people a real story. I wanted people to know people like me exist in the world.
Nas
Don't ever give up on yourself. Keep pushing because the change of guards is what life's all about.
Nas
I lay puzzle as I backtrack to earlier times, Nothing's equivalent to the New York state of mind
Nas
I got the opportunity to meet people all over the world. Brilliant women, tall women, short women, slim women, thick women, you name it. But, I don't meet them. I have the opportunities to and it's a little bit - I'm a little shy, so I don't meet them and I don't know who's right for me.
Nas
I'm never gonna die, never heard of death, energy can never be destroyed only the flesh.
Nas
