Nasty Esco Nasir Lyrics – Nas, DJ Premier

Nasty Esco Nasir Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah
This that one hand on the steering wheel music
(Nasty) Yeah (Esco, Nasir)

[Verse 1]
Just designing this rhyme as a fight against time
Every minute they wait to hear of true titans of crime
It’s two types of villains that live in my mind
I’ll define it as one killing with rhyme, the other dealing, supplying
Garments of all kind, no more designer to wear
Style more modest these years, honorable to compare
The god’s Esco, Nasty Nas from Nasir
Since the sandbox, came out of it, part of my ominous content, y’all should be scared
Birth certificate says Nasir
Origin not clear, but what a great name to bear
My name is not as common as Muhammad or as popular
Or as praiseworthy, so I adopted a moniker

[Verse 2]
I’m Nasty Nas, I was destined to be here
In Grandmaster Caz’s atmosphere to breathe Kool Moe Dee’s air
It’s Esco here, I like the hip-hop stuff
But come here, I whisper in your ear, “I don’t give a fuck”
It sounds like it bothers you, that I’m just that guy, just that fly
Nah, but I know that you hate me
For rapping to tracks that sound like mafia movie scores, baby
That was your thing, you was getting that through the doors crazy
‘Cause it didn’t happen before me, sorry
You was talking Cristal first — yeah, that was all me
But I brought the blick to the church, I told you run it now
My jewelry box open, you hearing a humming sound
Not humble, not underground
Fuck your cigars and fedora hats
This is real rap, what could be better than that?
Uh, the double R, the iciest jewels
Cash rules, heavenly messenger, white gloves, white shoes
Man, that sound materialistic, rappin’ ’bout how the rich live
Yo, that boom-bap is too wack, that don’t get you no bitches
Well, Nasty the type to rob you
Who you talkin’ to? (You) Who? (You)
No one left in this room, just us *gunshot*

[Interlude]
What the fuck? Damn

Well, that was some great times, yeah
Now it’s time for some words from the heart of Nasir, yeah

[Verse 3]
I’m a father, philanthropist, film director, an author
Tech impresario, Resorts World casino partner
A restauranteur, by the time you hear this song
I’ll probably open up a whole new store, get involved
I’m a mogul, massive with my moves, everything got appeal
I lead the way, I’m tryna see much more of us here
Even make our own cigars top tier
We do branding, expanding a thirty-year career
I’m just scratching the surface, the next phase of Nasir
Phase four, the fourth dimension, the legacy’s here
And other things I won’t mention
I’m winnin’ when I’m not even trendin’
Trailblazin’, the message I’m sendin’
When you evolve into your true growth, they say you can’t do both
Feed your soul and get money, I’m like two GOATs
So I guess then as long as it’s knockin’ will solve the problem
When it’s crack, hit a rock at the bottom, then you got ’em
