Nas Is Like chords by Nas
Guitar chords with lyrics
Verse 1:
A F#m
Freedom or jail, clips inserted, a baby's being born
G#m C#m
Same time a man is murdered—the beginning and end
A F#m
As far as rap go, it's only natural I explain
G#m C#m
My plateau, and also, what defines my name
A F#m
First it was Nasty, but times have changed
G#m C#m
Ask me now, I'm the artist, but hardcore, my sign is for pain
A F#m
I spent time in the game, kept my mind on fame
G#m C#m
Saw fiends shoot up and do lines of cocaine
A F#m
Saw my close friends shot, flatline, am I sane?
G#m C#m
That depends, carry MAC-10's to practice my aim
A F#m
On rooftops, tape CD covers to trees
G#m C#m
Line the barrel up with your weak picture then squeeze
A F#m
Street scriptures for lost souls, in the crossroads
G#m C#m
To the corner thugs hustling for cars that cost dough
A F#m
To the big dogs living large, taking in light
G#m E
Pushing big toys, getting nice, enjoying your life
A F#m
It's what you make it, suicide, few try to take it
G#m C#m
Belt tied around their neck in jail cells naked
A F#m
Heaven and Hell, rap 🏷Legend, presence is felt
N.C.
And of course N-A-S are the letters that spell - NAS, NAS

Sooner or later we'll all see who the prophet is
