Reppin
Vixens, Mascara's, Mary-Ann's
Senegal's finest, minerals, diamonds
The earth is cursed but I survive many climates
Calm and thoroughly, they try to Hyman Roth me
John Fitzgerald me, the industry never bought me
(You know God sent me here)
Fear will make you reveal who you really are
Feel me God? Be solid, your foes hold you in ill regard
This ain't knowledge, this is not intense
For honored men, women too
Us who can see the same thing, but have a different view (let's go)

Come through the side entrance; I arrive, bytches
Crackheads still owe me from '89 fixes (bonjour)
Havin' drinks in Vegas, my business
She didn't see me comin', now she's an eyewitness
Laissez le bon temps rouler
Say ahh so the kids could play:lolbron:

Vacay share twisted
Whatever happened missed it
Vacations I didn't like, put myself through a guilt trip (bonjour)

Everybody knows the 2nd verse but the 1st verse....:wow:

When the media slings mud, we use it to build huts
Irrefutable facts, merciful, beautiful black
Beloved brother, you fail to embarrass him, harassin' him
To my life, your life pales in comparison
So go write whatever blog, messiness is not ever the god
Do what's necessary, I'm never worried
Listen vultures, I've been shackled by Western culture
You convinced most of my people to live off emotion
That's why we competin'
Death by the chrome barrel, forgot the secrets
My Kilimanjaro bone marrow's the deepest
You can peep at the comments, but don't fall for that
We want freedom, I'm a scholar, an almanac
People do anything to be involved in everything
Inclusion is a hell of a drug
Some people have everything they probably ever wanted in life
And never have enough

The ghosts of gangsters dance
Chinchillas shake on the hanger, the force of this banger
Yeah, my language advanced, my cadence amazin'
The voice triggers somethin', what is this conundrum?
The clouds scurry, your spirit rumble, a boyish smile

I'm lookin' in Longevity's eyes
I play with Infinity's mind, Forever's my guy
My pedigree above your ass, you'll never see I
I love the past, but see, where I'm goin' I get to fly

shyt crazy:wow:

I see alot of yall aint familiar with nas rhyme style. The on beat off beat run on sentances with the conversational flow has always been his thing. Listen to "the world is yours" "memory lane" "represent" off illmatic and just about anything on iww. Thats nas style. He constantly switches rythm during his verses. It might be more apparent on more laid back beats but its the same flow he's always had. You really notice it when you listen to his verses accapella.

Breh it's not the same flow or delivery or tone. Come on. I don't expect older rappers to match their prime in those areas; only Black Thought seems capable of matching his past. But the delivery and some flows here aren't what I expected after LIG.
