[Cam'Ron]
Yo, I'm a cat with 9 live, but everyday I risk them
Pop shots the glock at the cop and missed him now he's all up in the system
Upstate, buying for crime, slaving the time
My mother down here praying for mine
Cause I'm like Snider, living one day at a time
Harlem's a rough route, get snuffed out in a tough bout
The streets is full of smoking guns from people getting puffed out
I scrap them like a sculpture, living out my fukking culture
My crews a bunch of vultures with the .38s and holsters
And I quick to hurt a fool, cause money got that murder pull
And don't leave my house without the guns, mask and surgicals
Don't tell me how I act and sound, I pack a mack and pound
And strap them down to clap them clowns, I never seen a cap and gown
and I'm a basketcase, I'll bash your face, and blast your waist
In a casket trace, cause me and this b*stard Mase, drop at a tragic place
Cause uptown it ain't nothing sweet, it's just guns a grief
Tons of beef, and little nikkaz run the streets
And pop the boots for lots of loot
Even sell a cop a deuce, on top of roofs
But be careful cause the glocks is loose
And I'ma choke you like a capsule, nikkaz wanna scrap? Boat
And I'ma end the shyt on that note

Mase rap sounding like early Nas

Is there a common inspiration?

Kool G. Rap created that style.

All Nas did was mix the cadence that Kool G. Rap emcees in and the type of vocabulary that Rakim says.
