Nas - Jarreau Of Rap (Skatt Attack) Lyrics






Round, round, round, round a melody
Round, round, round, round a harmony
Round, round, round, round a melody
Melody, harmony, melody, steadily
Round, round, round, round a melody
Round, round, round, round a harmony
Round, round, round, round a melody
Melody, harmony, melody, steadily

Everybody's not gon' get you but keep goin'
I be crusin', 40,000 feet like I'm a Boeing
Doubtin' me , they said I would have no longevity
Instead I'm steadily rappin' these fundamentals
I assemble the synthesis, 'cause someone said I been
Unadventurous, I been uninterested, learning life is what matters
Chill, I'm the humble bragger

I could son a rapper, everyone one of you rappers, vámanos
I be runnin' you rappers, Adios
I don't see none of you rappers, all of y'all under me rappers
I need to golf, need a day to relax, get a massage
Al Jarreau on the track, Al Jarreau of rap
Made the Mets hat more famous than Strawberry, I know this already

Here's our symphony
I measure by measure of pleasure, a harmony melody
Here's the memories, I used to play 40th Ave. runnin' every yesterday

Had a lot of losses, it hurt a lot losing cash
But it was worth it, I gave a lot, giving back still
I catch heat 'cause I'm black and I'm ill
And I'm real and make millions and they in they feelings
They can't hide it, I don't internalise it, I ignore it
I was taught, to observe it, not absorb it
So I don't absorb it

Melody, married to harmony, one and the same

Taking over all my reveries stumbling, tumbling, fumbling, fumbling
Taking over all my reveries stumbling, stumbling, tumbling, fumbling

Evolution of a man and his music
The ill-feel-aholics and chronic acoustic
My Wikipedia just said that I'm multimedia
When you rock O2 Arena you made it
Then it's crazy there, now you gotta rock stadiums
I play at some, when you tuck away or play the cut
Then they front, then the shade comes
They try to say that your day is done

Melody, married to harmony, one in the same
...

  69. e.... h....

    This track grew on me.

  70. r.... ....

    Vladtv don't know what he talking about

  71. A.... P....

    🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

  72. J.... R....

    Nas + Jarreau = magnum opus to the max!!! this is genius!!!

  73. R.... D....

    This is definitely a workout joint for the gym

  74. l.... b....

    Ever heard rigomortis by Kendrick - this is how hard these pattern raps are ! Shout out to the OG Nas .

  75. E.... C....

    Genius!!! those horns and his Flow Got damnit man!!!!

  76. B.... B....

    Can we finally say 1.Nas 2. Biggie 3 . Tupac

  77. C.... K....

    THIS IS FUCKING FIRE MY NIGGA OMG A NIGGA GOT GOOSEBUMPS THE MUSIC THOUGH

  78. g.... 8....

    for me the best there ever was, just my opinion
    GOAT

  79. m.... r....

    Nas is real poet ....real hip hop art....forever!!!!.....😎☻🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 real Rap alive!!!!...❤❤❤

  80. T.... 8....

    Way too intelligent for today's Low IQ masses, if you don't think this track is amazing you are listening to the wrong genre. Nas' flow on this is ridiculous. Imagine making something this good and the low IQ masses don't understand it because their tiny brains have been brainwashed into listening to the commercial Trap Crap sound.

  81. M.... W....

    ONLY NAS could pull something of this caliper off. Nas you dope Boooyyyy.. lol 😄. Show them youngsters. Get off on Any level..Nasty Nas..!!!!

  82. M.... M....

    I remember the original Al Jarreau Track, this is Fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

  83. T.... A....

    Nas is most definitely one of a kind.rap is good but it's nothing like hip hop.Nas &Em & Wayne🐐🐐🐐

    T.... A....

    Wayne is pure overhyped trash

  84. S.... ....

    Nice, it grow on me.
    By the way, no cursing and N word in it. 💪

  85. A.... S....

    Only non-mc's front on this song

  86. G.... T....

    Very creative and refreshing, if not slightly annoying as far as the hook goes

  87. L.... B....

    Dope 👑👌🏿💪🏾✊🏾

  88. N.... B....

    Shit!!! This is what LEGENDS are made of! Lets go Esco!!! It's still alive hallelujah!!!

  89. J.... L....

    Always good to stretch creative boundaries👍

  90. A.... S....

    Really don’t understand the hated fro this track and this album. Guys like Vlad knock the best selection but Vernon Family, Tanasia, Who Are You, The Art Of It, Ana Highly Favored all go hard on beats. My favorites are the sample from Uptown Anthem on The Art Of It and the straight up Wu-Tang sound on Highly Favored. I’ll never understand why Nas seems to face a different level of scrutiny than every other artist. I like how Lord Jamar said that I’d Kendrick had done this same track the reviewers would be losing their shit about how great it is.

  91. M.... O....

    YES, NO AUTOTUNE NEED IT TO FLOW

  92. L.... N....

    Nas... Only a thug would do this. This is lit. This might be something to play in schools for the kids. Melody married to Harmony. Hahaa.

  93. D.... D....

    This track grew on me heavy

  94. A.... L....

    This shit is fucking fire

  95. G.... ....

    VlAds hating ass brought me here

  96. J.... L....

    THIS PROVES NAS IS THE GREATEST I MEAN WHO CAN RAP ON SOMETHING LIKE THIS MORE FAMOUS THAN STRAWBERRY YALL KNOW ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  97. G.... ....

    If your hopelessly devoted to skinny jeans rappers you won’t appreciate this song

  98. T.... B....

    Why ride the beat normally when you can pop a wheelie on it! NAS is a LEGEND

  99. M.... F....

    Reminds me of cee lo green feat ludacris - child's play
