Lyrics
Verse 1)
Yo, I'm Nas, let me drop some wisdom in these rhymes,
From the streets of secunda, to the highest climbs,
I'm holy enough to pray for you, see the divine,
But hood enough to swing on you, when you cross the line.
I’ve seen it all, from the corners to the limelight,
Spitting truths, every verse is a highlight,
Wisdom in the words, yeah, I'm breaking chains,
Teaching lessons, even when the world rains.
(Hook)
Holy enough to pray for you, hood enough to swing,
Nas bringing balance, hear the real king,
Street poet, with a touch of the sacred,
Every bar, every line, so elevated.
(Verse 2). I stay relevant,
A legend in the game, a lyrical testament,
Writing scriptures on the pad, like ancient scrolls,
Guiding the youth, showing them the gold.
You see, life’s a journey, a path of many trials,
But I keep my faith strong, walking holy miles,
Yet, don't test me, I got the hood in my veins,
Ready to defend, when it’s time to bring the pain.
(Hook)
Holy enough to pray for you, hood enough to swing,
Nas bringing balance, hear the real king,
Street poet, with a touch of the sacred,
Every bar, every line, so elevated.
(Bridge)
From the projects to the stages, I stay true,
To the roots, to the culture, to the crew,
with the spirit of a warrior,
Holy and hood, the essence of a poet laureate.
(Verse 3)
I pray for my people, for peace and for light,
But I’m a fighter too, for what’s just and right,
Walking that fine line, between grace and grit,
Nas in the building, yeah, you know this is it.
So listen close, take these words to heart,
In every rhyme, a piece of my art,
I'm holy enough to pray for you, hood enough to swing,
Nas, forever, the real king of this thing.
(Hook)
Holy enough to pray for you, hood enough to swing,
Nas bringing balance, hear the real king,
Street poet, with a touch of the sacred,
Every bar, every line, so elevated.
(Outro)
From the sacred to the streets, I’m Nas, the essence,
A legend, a voice, in every rhyme, my presence,
Holy and hood, forever intertwined,
This is Nas, peace to y’all, and rewind.
