i refuse to conform
Now wait a sec', give me time to explain, women and fast cars
And diamond rings can poison a rap star
It's suicidal, how I smoke in so much la'
I saw a dead bird flying through a broken sky
Wish I could flap wings and fly away
To where black kings in Ghana stay, so I could get old
My flesh rot away but that'll be the day when it's peace
When my gat don't need to spray when these streets are safe to play
Sex with death, indulge in these women
Envision my own skeleton swimming in eternal fire
Broads play with pentagrams in they vagina
Like the Exorcist, then they gave birth to my seeds
I beg for God's help, why they love hurting me?
I'm your disciple, a thug certainly
I'm the N, the A to the S-I-R
If I wasn't I must've been Escobar
45 in my waist, staring at my reflection in the mirror
Sitting still in the chair like Mike Concepction
When everything around me got cloudy
The chair became a king's throne, my destiny found me
It was clear why the struggle was so painful
Metamorphosis, this is what I changed to, and God, I'm so thankful

i think it is stillmatic.


nas is a genius in terms of rhyme schemes

It was written by far. He was on another level on that album. Had he had pete rock primo and large pro beats on that album instead of wackmasters cats would know what time it was with his ability on that album.
