Nas - The Art of It Lyrics
Fire spitta, I ain't never met a higher nigga
Me extinguished is like Queensbridge fiendless
Mansion, marble foyer, I can afford a closet in alphabet order
A-Life, Adidas under "A", the "B" for Bottega, British Knights sneaker
My "C's" so ill, that man, I get chills when I look at my Christian Dior's they kill
D cups, tequila and blunts, weed, women and liquor
Depending on the day, it's a different mission
They not knowin', they wanna know what he got on
A QB Don, went and got his Pete Rock on
Nas keep a fine bitch to roll his weed up for him
My niggas in Mount Vernon keep it G'd up for him
Speaking of "G", the gat I'm good with it, hit your hood with it
.44's never could miss him
Comin' to see us, glad to see you made it home to the hood nigga
We blowin' trees, tell me, don't it feel good nigga?
Man it feels good, it feel good, don't it?
(La, la, la)
Yeah, put that good shit in the air
(La, la, la)
Niggas in the hood don't live forever (My G niggas)
But as long as we here together (My QB niggas)
We gonna put that good shit in the air
(La, la, la)
Another bullet manufactured, another man in his casket
Fuck maintaining, that's lame language
Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, I duck quick
Seen fire flashes, the type of fire that spit out of a Magnum
And I'm the type who runs to the drama, lookin' for who clappin'
Nike Boot, when I eat 'em he's like food
Pulled out the barrel, four fifths rip through bone marrow
Make his toes spiral the dirt, while his feet kick up rock
He's a sprinter, police a Jenner, lock up niggas for three winters
When I attack, I'm faceless like an iron mask
Then get away quick, traceless, line back, lions path
I breathe deep like lamaze class
Live long, obtain wisdom and die last
Stressed out or in a body bag, I am that
Live long, obtain wisdom and die last
Man it feels good, it feel good, don't it?
(La, la, la)
Yeah, put that good shit in the air
(La, la, la)
Niggas in the hood don't live forever (My G niggas)
But as long as we here together (My QB niggas)
We gonna put that good shit in the air
(La, la, la)
Look, I don't have that much time, candidly I'm in divorce
Rumors, DUI's in and outta court
Different judges, assault charges, hovers on ya boy
Other niggas wives lust to be in covers with ya boy
Y'all don't want no angry Nas on your label
Y'all got plenty checks, CEO man, I'm only 36
But at this point five on the table
I say with all respect my dude, thank you, we had the best times
But I'm about respect, about the talent I possess
Never know, there could just be a time when I'm behind your desk and let you go
Could you imagine Nas the exec?
The artist owning masters, controlling your release
Probably they wanna wait 'til I'm deceased to honor me
So my product could be a big commodity
Not bothered if my son and daughter eat off of me
Cautiously I write this next line honestly, cause I'm a G
It's no beef, I used to be open to making 50 g's
But now I spend that on a dime to make her neck freeze
My larynx will serenade the hood
I tell the cops my blood dirty, they say I'm all good
TMZ, they hopin' when the marriage end, I'ma turn to Larry Flynt
Nas is not the average gent, I'm on my classy shit
Here's one small percent of what y'all in store to get
More real nigga shit
Man it feels good, it feel good, don't it? (La, la, la)
Yeah, put that good shit in the air (La, la, la)
Niggas in the hood don't live forever (My G niggas)
But as long as we here together (My QB niggas)
We gonna put that good shit in the air (La, la, la)

When I attack I’m faceless like an iron mask
“When I attack, I’m faceless like a iron mask, MF Doom.
My larynx'll serenade the hood

The King sounds like Illmatic Nas
It's so Queens! It's raw and distorted, la la la
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Pete Rock you killed that "Uptown Anthem" by naughty nature sample !!!! As a producer I woulda never thought that intro woulda ever be able to be flipped into a beat BRILLIANT !!!
Get at the bro for some 🔥 beats @Krookmuzik on IG
So 🔥
SO iLL!
Naughty by Nature sounding
onE VOICE rap, that's NAS

Nas keep a fine bitch to roll his weed up for em!
I wish my like was worth a thousand. This shii deserves more upright thumbs.
Juice - Uptown Anthem 🙌🙏 oh wow what a classic banger to sample 👌🙌
Nas went and got his pete rock on! 🔥🔥
This is the hardest rap song in 20 years! Nasty Nas man.... In the gym with me everyday!
That beat is everything
#Dope 🔥🔥🔥
the lost tapes 2 is the real Album done, Nasir was good... but this what fans was waiting on.
Nas & Pete Rock = Peanut Butter & Jelly.... 💯💪✔
Comment remettre les pendules à l'heure 🔥🔥🔥 tuerie!
Life is good era
Y’all don’t want an Angry Nas on ya label 🙃
Pete still rockin, dope from the Queens Legend Nas!
Heat rocks!!!
Just like the rza nas can do what he wants
The QB Don got his Pete Rock on!
" I tell the cops my blood dirty they say you all good"🔥🔥🔥🔥
Why is the audio so bad??
Its unmastered. Seems nas collected these off the studio floor and threw them together without cleaning the audio.
God damn, Nas is the gift that just keeps on giving. Nothing knocks his hustle; hip hop has changed but Nas is still going strong. One of the GOATS.
Pete Rock
Fantastic album and song only complaint is he should of featured Treach and Vinnie from Nuaghty on this. Would of been a classic collab 3v3n though it's still hot
"Live young obtain wisdom and die last"
Best track on the album! But don’t get it twisted, the whole album 10 outta 10
Live young obtain wisdom and die last!
Me Extinguish’ is like Queens Phineless
"Nasty Nas, Escobar ona Pete Rock track/ You a silly ninja if you don't that!!!" "La La La"
This right here is proof why Pete is an OG producer....how he threw two classics together like that...c'mon now 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Some of ya is fake nas fans ya dont even own one album ya stream music & call ya self day one fans stop it
The art of it , highly favored and it never ends are the best joints on this. The other ones are kinda meh
qb politics, no bad energy
Could you imagine Nas the Exec. = MassAppeal
He shouted my hood out! And that's my G.O.A.T!😤😤😤😤
Pete the king. Wish the hook was better but otherwise this is perfection
The hook is actually terrible enough to almost ruin the song. Nas does have a knack at doing silly things like that
Pete what!!! Ughhh!!! Track fire, Nas goat.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!
Crazy Nas the greatest need more heat like this wit beats like this has unstoppable
Pete Rock should do whole album And need production like this STR Esco this the nas I love Come on Esco more of this production like this
This shit hit me instantly. And the compilation is done to perfection. Pete does it again.
"Straighten it out!!" My older cats know what I'm talking about!! That was my shit!!
This track Feels Good! The samples! Pete Rock and Nas. Respect
Fire spitter x
This might sound kinda fucked up but I think a something really fucked in hip-hop gotta happen to get a resurgence of this type music. Maybe some key artist gotta get R.I.P’ed like Big and Pac unfortunately had to go. After that happen the game opened up wide..you got Em, DMX, Luda, The rise of Murder, Inc., Cash Money, Ruff Ryders, T.I, Lil Jon and R&B neo soul goin strong..I think this shit we hearing now in hip-hop cancer..its actually killing the cellular membrane of genre..people like kendrick, cole, and few other are like the natural herbs we need to get hip-hop back to it’s alkaline state.
But then I keep forgetting this makes you feel good, and do good..and the zionist will never allow that because prisons have to be filled and they would prefer black bodies.
Was listening on my phone at first. I had to put this one on the stereo. Was buppin. Felt like 93' 94' 95'
HEAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lyrically monster
When Pete Rock and NAS collab, it's STILMATIC!
Nasssssss! Esco!!! Went Silverback on this track!!!!!!!🤣🔥🔥🔥🔥
Man he killed this, my favorite one.
art of it only good beat ive heard so far
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ fyre God!!!
Dam, i wish i was on this 1.
Mc witty
This is so different from his Old Town Road song but I like it!
You should be executed for this comment.
@Luis Sam 😆😆😆😆😆👊
Naughty by Nature and Pete Rock Cl Smooth joint 🔥🔥🔥sample fire 🔥🔥🔥💯
He does these sort of joint in his sleep, Easy.
Highlight of The Lost Tapes 2!
Homie said he was 36 when this was recorded, so that means this was for that "Untitled" LP that came out in '08 and didn't make the cut for whatever reason.
Anyways, quintessential Nas spitting over a haunting Pete Rock beat = instant classic.
The life is good album
Nas was 36 in 2009. Untitled was already out... so this may have been for something else he had planned in between Untitled and Life is Good albums.
@LifeIsGood untitled came out summer of 2008 this was probably one of the first tracks recorded for the life is good album that for whatever reason didn't make the album
@atomicdagod, no arguments there fam. One.
This entire album shitted on his collab wit yeezy
FAACTSSS
Needed this in my life......
Pete Rock flipped Uptown Anthem n Straighten it Out!!! 😮
Nas album is banana
Gonna be late for work, won’t get out the car yet
Gotta b of a certain era to even remember thoze classix... Tha golden age🤘🏾
One of Nas best songs period
This song and Queens Bridge Politics and Lost Freestyle are the Dopest songs on here... the rest will have to grow on me but still vintage Nas all the way through... sounds a whole lot better than that album he put out with Kanye
War against love
This shyt 🔥🔥 🔥🔥 🔥🔥 🔥
4 time listening this album ohh shit feels good....
My favorite on the album stay on repeat.
expected Lost Tapes 2 to be full of tracks like this! Next level flow , straight spitten
The 20 Dislikes are awkward Society members.
Tekashi fans who love #TrashGang🤮
💎🔥💯🔊🎶
Is the actual album clipping as bad as these uploads are? This and Highly Favored are the worst culprits.
This 🔥🔥
Nas we want an album that sounds like this , pure pete rock , premo , large pro type of beats , this is fire
He did that 25 years ago
4 the 20 people who disliked this jump off a bridge
Man this beat is sick 😷🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The next hot song! 🔥! 2019 nas killed yah!
NAS blanked on da last verse. Crazy
"Straighten it Out" Pete&CL beat. Nicely done #PeteRock✌
+ Naughty by Nature, Uptown Anthem😏
@Ichigo Uzumaki Meaning that's the "Beat"
*NAS ATE THIS TRACK LIKE A HUNGRY TRAIN CONDUCTOR*
My damn neck hurting 🔥💀
😂😂😂😂😂TRUE!!!
