let nas down

freedom or jail

clips inserted

a baby's bein' born

same time my man is murdered; the beginning and end

as far as rap go

it's only natural

i explain

my plateau

and also what defines my name

yeah

long live the idols

may they never be your rivals

'pac was like jesus

nas wrote the bible

now what you 'bout to hear is a tale of glory and sin

no i.d. my mentor

now let the story begin

i used to print out nas' raps and tape 'em up on my wall

my niggas thought they was words

but it was pictures i saw

and since i wanted to draw

i used to read them in awe

then he dropped stillmatic

rocked the cleanest velour

fast forward

who'd a thought that i would meet him on tour

i'm earnin' stripes now

a nigga got adidas galore

backstage i shook his hand

let 'em know that he's the man

when he said he was a fan it was too hard to understand

no time to soak up the moment though 'cause i was in a jam

hov askin' where's the record that the radio could play

and i was strikin' out for months

9th inning

feelin' fear

jeter under pressure

made the biggest hit of my career

but at first

that wasn't clear

niggas had no idea

dion called me when it dropped

sounded sad but sincere

told me nas heard your single and he hate that shit

said

you the one
