It Ain't Hard To Tell(Remix) {Intro} Take it to the bridge To the motherfuckin' bridge Queensbridge in the motherfucker (Hook)
It ain't hard to tell *repeat 3x
[Verse 1] The buddha monk's in your trunk, turn the bass up Not stories by Aesop, place your loot up, parties I shoot up Nas, I analyze, drop a jew-el, inhale from the L School a fool well You feel it like braille ain't hard to tell I kick a skill like Shaquille holds a pill Vocabulary spills I'm Ill Plus Matic I freak a beat Slam it like Iron Shiek Jam like a tech with correct techniques So analyze me, surprise me, but can't magmatize me Scannin' while you're plannin' ways to sabotage me I leave'em froze like her-on in your nose Nas could rock well It ain't hard to tell
(Hook) It Ain't hard to tell *repeat 3x
[Verse 2] What's a beat if the rap don't click I spit rhymes like I'm sick, dying loss in a pit The only way I can escape is by vocals Verbalize a strife Stabbin' ears like a knife hood like The Prophet of the gutter Lyrics are silk mega butter I flow never stutter Clever poetic brothers on a mission Dissin' all the perps who fraud Scrams listen ? the experts with ? Burn your pen and pads, mics you'll need not Well I be packin' like a rasta in a weed spot Hittin' your hearts like a hollow tip Verbally illin' minds manipulated My raps a nickel-plated I illustrate it, X-rated, then move out Nas the parlayer takes you on a new route It's suicide poetry released from a cell With a minced clientele, I excel It ain't hard to tell
(Hook) It ain't hard to tell *repeat 3x
[Verse 3] Now, I'm blessed with the finesse to express like Shakespeare The blocks 'Cape Fear' drop metaphors when the breaks clears My mic check is life or death, breathin' a sniper's breath I exhale the yellow smoke of buddha through righteous steps Deep like 'The Shining', sparkle like a diamond Sneak a Uzi on the island in my army jacket linin' Hit the Earth like a comet, invasion Nas is like the Afrocentric Asian, half-man, half-amazin And in my physical, I'll express through song Delete stress like Moltrin, extend strong Drink Moet with Medusa, give her shotguns inhale From the spliff that I lifted in Hell It ain't hard to tell (Hook) It ain't hard to tell *repeat 3x
