It Ain`t Hard to Tell (Remix) — текст песни (Nas)

{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 who perps the fraud
Scrams listen, (and) do what the experts record
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 immense 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
