I was young and runnin'
Ended up in New York City, I had my first child
I named the boy Nasir, all the call him Nas
I told him as a youngster, be the greatest man alive

go, hey hey hey hey
Tribrary of rap skits, styles I mastered
brothers snatched it up and tried to match it
But I'm number one, everyday real
Speak I want, I don't care what y'all feel
'Cause I'm my own
My Pop told me, "Be your own boss keep integrity at cost"
And his was Natchez Mississippi
Did it like Miles and Dizzy, now we gettin'

The Gap from the blues, to jazz, to rap
The history of on this track
Born in the game, discovered my father's
Like Prince searchin' boxes of Purple Rain
But my Minneapolis was The Bridge, home of the

In art class I was a sketcher of
in my homeroom, I drew pix to mess them up
'Cause none'a would like my style

I named the boy Nasir, all the boys him Nas
I told him as a youngster, be the greatest man alive
Greatest man, the great-greatest man

Hey hey hey, my Poppa was not a Rollin'
He been around the world blowin' his horn, still he came
Then he got grown, his name to Olu
Come on, 'em 'bout all the places you gone to

I been to Arabia, Mozambique
Madagascar, Paris,
The Africa is where we lived
known as Queenbridge

Olu Dara in the house, you stop
Muddy Howling Wolf you don't stop
From the Blues to Street Hop you stop

See I from Mississippi
I was young and wild
Ended up in New York City, where I had my child
I named the boy Nasir, all the boys him Nas
I told him as a youngster, he'll be the greatest man
man alive, gre-gre-gre-gre-greatest man alive
