Wish Nas would've picked a different beat for ''Nas Is Good''
IMO the beat doesn't fit the lyrics.

Touch up the game like a photo edit
Camera roll like Oscar Michaeux, they gotta roll the credits
Like Rome came into Kemet and they stole the essence
Before they watered it down and taught us bogus lessons
Written in stone, write whatever in your history books
Me and ancient Egyptian skin tone had similar looks
On my trip out to Cairo, I felt home on arrival
I swam in the Red Sea, took a boat on the Nile.......

I had Covid and could barely breathe and it was almost 2 weeks.

when I say a tear dropped when NaS spit this verse a nikka knew he was going to beat this disease come up and finesse these hoe$ & get back to the paper ASAP!

“It's in my blood to drive these cars and live this large
Escobar cigars avoiding the prison bars, Nas
I deserve the threads in my closet
Big boy deposits, Nike shares and stock tips
Catching up with those who had a head start
Used to get eviction notices that had a red mark
The lights was out, that's why we sip dark
Acting a fool at the pool in Queensbridge Park”

Given knowledge by the psycotic the block was college
We don't add it up then that shyt'll leave us divided
It's sort of like Ten Commandments I'm talking 'bout men of standards
I'm trying to reverse the damage you boys obsessed with cameras
The debt we was handed...
So many move like Judas look at the past it's proven

Around your enemies then they call you before you hear about it
Talk to you like it's still love, keeping your vision clouded
Trying to get cool with guys cause you want 'em to choose sides
Campaigning with the haters dismissing truth for lies
Definition of a man don't fold on the stand
For your soul the exec let you hold an advance
Don't be discouraged just go with the plan
Gotta have faith in God's grace over the land
And i pray for the day when they lay down the K's
Make they way up out that maze get they mind up out a daze
Too many mamas laying flowers at they graves
Don't rap about death, it's power in what you say​

I swear this nikka's an alien... :wow:

Still AOTY, 30 years... :ahh:

I mentioned in here how this song isn't getting enough credit out here. If another rapper made this people would go crazy over it.

Nas is an extremely underrated goat. He has gotten credit for KD2 but no where near enough.
