Nas (Wu) Let My ****** Live verse appreciation

[labelplant]

One of Nas best verse IMO

I scream at the mirror, curse, askin God, "Why me?"
Run in the black church, gun in my hand, y'all try me
I'm God-son, son of man, son of Marcus Garvey
Rastafari irie, Ha-ile Selassie
Police'll try to break us, but the streets raised us
It takes more than metal bars, we destined for ours
I hear murder plans from dopefiends, with elephant hands
Snots in they nostril, the blocks is hostile
There's no pots to piss in, Glocks is spittin
Rocks cookin underground bodies stiffin, cops look at bird shyt
Drop on the window pane, the oxygen is cocaine
It drove lots of men to die with no name
I been on boats, nut down throats, pee on bytches who famous
Pretty dikk, puttin stitches in they anus
I'm the animal that Hugh Heffner created
The only nikka Sade dated, the most hated, Nas nikka

This verse he had on the bravehearted join was ill too though

My name is beloved I come from the past
With insects crawling on me like I'm dead, I don't eat I just fast
I don't beef I just blast, Gods son, blood on my palm
I left the cross horny white nun's suckin me off
And black dike ones, dressed up like bush identical mask
I fukk em hard with a sinister laugh
And puff on cigar like Tony Montana
Me and Sony got problems
If I die they say I'm only a martyr
Step to me I'm braver, do me a favor
Put two in my waves, you can be paid
The label puts you in my place
I'm Jewish like Sammie Davis Junior
Holding a Louis suitcase with Colin Powell chopped in pieces
Now I'm locked up with psycho's who eat they feces
Colder hearts break me out and I reveal deep secrets
About this street shyt that y'all so obsessed by
I rep my nikkas to the death while the rest lie, the rest die, I'm brave

There was a time back in the day when even with his unreleased shyt floating out there people wondered if Nas was every gonna comeback lyrically after 97-99.

Some would point to this track and this verse as the start to march towards Stillmatic.
