[00:00:01] Alchemist you know me man

[00:00:03] I'm the type of ni**a that write rhymes

[00:00:04] Right on the spot in the studio soon as I hear the track

[00:00:07] You know what I'm sayin'

[00:00:09] Word but I wanted to bring a couple of books

[00:00:11] To the studio today man I found these shits

[00:00:13] Up in the crib man in boxes man

[00:00:15] I don't even remember when I was writing these shits

[00:00:18] Or what's in these shits man probably a bunch of b******t

[00:00:20] F**k it check it

[00:00:22] How can I trust you when I can't trust me

[00:00:27] Some niggas will conversate with liers all day time pass

[00:00:32] Nah lemme start somethin' else

[00:00:34] Soul on ice death threats given by clowns

[00:00:36] I guess livin' is prison when you live around clowns

[00:00:39] I'm hexed cursed worse I been blessed first

[00:00:42] I thought I was abnormal

[00:00:43] 'Cause I would overcome any task called to

[00:00:45] So there it is I'ma prince I'ma get slain

[00:00:48] Some do minor sh*t swear they on the top of they game

[00:00:51] Ya rhymin' is called 'Vagina Monologue'

[00:00:53] It kinda supports theories of scary niggas

[00:00:55] Who should lie in the morgue

[00:00:57] Rarely y'all come in contact with the real

[00:00:58] Since Pun passed he was the last shine of sun I could feel

[00:01:02] Yo said "There's a few left since music's expressions of life"

[00:01:05] Damn I wish I took more time to write in my Book of Rhymes

[00:01:09] Oh sh*t Tina been lookin' for this b**ch number damn

[00:01:22] Gandhi was a fool ni**a fight to the death

[00:01:25] The US Army is a school that teach ya plights of conquest

[00:01:27] I wonder when I wrote this nah it's weak

[00:01:30] The money's ya religion sky's the limit live life

[00:01:33] Numbers is big business makes the poor live trife

[00:01:35] The glimmers of hope provoke those without dollars to dream

[00:01:39] Through your existence become wealthy knowledge is king

[00:01:42] Pimps and card sharks thiefs murderers with hard luck

[00:01:45] Addicts and fiends prostitutes passin' for teens is my society

[00:01:49] Cops that shoot blacks is routine for notoriety

[00:01:52] Grow up watchin' well dressed niggas with charms

[00:01:54] Beautiful ladies on their arms

[00:01:56] Dangerous new cars was my fantasy for Nas

[00:01:59] Rubbin' my lips with Campophenique

[00:02:02] Still behind the ears wet turned out to be pioneer's vets

[00:02:05] Amongst hustlers crack sellers and liers and squares

[00:02:09] Nah that was weak there

[00:02:11] My people be projects or jail never Harvard or Yale

[00:02:14] Pardon me type in my two way while I'm chargin' my cell

[00:02:17] It's hard to be iced up with Gucci God poverty's real

[00:02:22] I see imitators tryin' to make albums spittin' my style

[00:02:25] And they don't even realize that I notice they stealin' Nas' sh*t

[00:03:16] Smelling fresh youthful intelligent while I'm stressin' this sh*t

[00:03:19] Aiyo I envy you 'cause all you do is smile and things come your way

[00:03:23] "Such a innocent child" is what some say

[00:03:25] I get upset 'cause I just want to be treated the way you are

[00:03:28] Like a star not a worry in this world thus far

[00:03:31] But wait a minute we both need ya mother's attention

[00:03:34] I must be crazy jealous of my own baby infant kinda crazy
