The song isn't entirely backwards. He just goes into yoda speak to to finish bars.

so what's not backwards?..tell me fam..I listened to the whole song prolly a thousand times since 01 and always followed it perfectly...the story was told backwards..period..matter of fact...why don't u show me an example of someone who did it better?..OR ..why don't u do it better since its so easy?..

His diction isn't always backwards.


She said 'go he there'


I mean in the literal sense. I like the song. Don't go all Rambo on me.

she said "go he there"=there he go..backwards..."outside right we"= we right outside..backwards...I dont get ur point..I said he told the story backwards...on top of adding lil backwards sentences in the process...whats wrong with that?..

"she said" isn't backwards. i'm speaking literally. the entire song isn't literally backwards.

I mean he didn't really have to put any bars backwards and just told the story backwards like he did and it woulda still been effective...but the fact that he added some backwards bars in there just added on to the flava imo...overall I think it was a brilliant lyrical effort...

"undying love" is the best storytelling song Nas has ever made imo.
