[00:06.686]What defines my name
[00:09.138]What defines my name
[00:10.911]Nas
[00:12.432]N-A-S
[00:14.268]What defines my name
[00:15.709]Nas
[00:16.710]N-A-S
[00:18.034]What defines my name
[00:19.880]
[00:20.166][Verse 1: Nas]
[00:21.027]Name existed forever, means victory helper, whole name means protector
[00:24.438]Shorten it by two letters, without the IR at the end
[00:28.406]The reincarnated Gil Scott, livin' in the bottle again
[00:30.643]The World Cup in Moscow where the [blonde is?] a ten
[00:33.312]Vape pen when I speak, it's like a lottery win
[00:35.739]Quote my total, Muay Thai mogul
[00:38.714]So fly, I could walk in any spot, every box be soakin'
[00:41.120]From a time when weed was stronger, today's streets are calmer
[00:44.118]They used to kill for shades, sneaks and bombers
[00:47.087]Uh, my name existed forever
[00:51.715]Before Christians came in America, even better
[00:54.378]When click sounds of they mouths was language for humans
[00:55.565]With stick figures in caves, my name's written fluent
[00:56.808]Nasty like way before even Rome had a sewage
[00:59.390]For fifty-thousand years ago if I could choose this origin
[01:02.501]Since there's nothin' to gain by assumin', I'ma say the definition of my name, the truest
[01:07.350]I shocked 'em like real bullets in prop guns
[01:09.927]Creep with baddies in sequins, dresses, we're high-strung
[01:12.428]Fresh off the jet, you can see my vision where I've come
[01:14.855]How much time y'all got?
[01:16.556]Yo, Preem, let's drop somethin'
[01:17.524]
[01:17.728][Chorus: Nas & Biz Markie]
[01:18.882]What defines my name
[01:21.220]What defines my name
[01:23.677]Nas
[01:24.674]N-A-S
[01:26.584]What defines my name
[01:27.676]Nas
[01:29.244]N-A-S
[01:30.464]What defines my name
[01:30.875]
[01:31.089][Verse 2: Nas]
[01:33.441]DNA of King James, kin of Saint Michael
[01:35.292]Polygamous-minded, seven wives on ridiculous timin'
[01:38.024]They always share the same title, that be the whiskey talk
[01:40.793]That's foul like I stopped and frisked New York
[01:43.119]At twenty, I said I'd better quit by thirty
[01:46.435]Then by thirty, I thought by forty rapping is corny
[01:48.208]How wrong was I?
[01:49.148]Never would have thought at fifty new songs by Nas would be hard and live
[01:52.046]I leave 'em scared like when they hear their name called but ain't nobody there
[01:56.161]The definition of my name probably started where
[01:58.968]I rode the E train, fingers covered in ink stains
[02:01.487]Writin' was like an escape inside [?] flame
[02:04.075]It was Rakim, [?] and Chris
[02:06.331]Few names like Cool James, Face, Cube, and Rick that was musically sick
[02:09.012]Successful and unnatural
[02:10.194]I throw they songs in a cyanide capsule, the truth is poison to any fraud
[02:15.964]Demigod, rockin' suits and shoes, goin' against any odds
[02:19.428]How could you hate me? I survived the '80s
[02:21.871]The [?], the trauma, embalming fluid and laced weed
[02:24.468]Inhale fumes from a stove, we'll cook up, the show's booked up
[02:27.114]I chose to take the world over, look up
[02:29.357]
[02:29.628][Chorus: Nas & Biz Markie]
[02:30.523]What defines my name
[02:33.687]What defines my name
[02:35.141]Nas
[02:36.796]N-A-S
[02:38.672]What defines my name
[02:39.825]Nas
[02:41.289]N-A-S
[02:42.385]What defines my name
[02:44.172]
[02:44.410][Outro: DJ Premier & Nas]
[02:45.202]Ayy, yo, thirty years later, Illmatic was dropped
[02:47.568]Yeah— man, what the **** am I doing?
[02:50.208]Ayy, yo, Preem, chill
[02:51.484]I got the rhymes, you got the beats
[02:53.592]Aight
[02:54.209]Thirty years later, we back in the streets, we back in the lab
[02:57.289]Aight then, let's go Nas
[02:58.876]It's time
[02:59.747]It's album time, yeah
[03:01.638]It's time?
[03:03.014]It's time, [blackest?] time
[03:04.022]Boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-boom-pow
[03:05.779]Premier album still gon' happen
