Rare (Explicit) - Nas

Composed by：Nasir Jones/Chauncey Hollis Jr./Dustin James Corbett

Yo I'm in rare form

Rare form

N***as speak down on my name like I wasn't there for 'em

There for 'em

Talk about back in the days this isn't back in the days

They want me back in my ways chipped tooth and the fade

Tooth and the fade

Uh musically I'm on Mars

Walkin' all over the beat puttin' my feet on the stars

I rock it like Lenny

Thinkin' like Jimi the first time he seen a guitar

Standing in front of where they shot Ahmaud

And said we gotta know who we are

Know who we are

Uh I'm in rare form

Rare form

Wearing rare Jordans straight from Air Jordan this a fair warnin'

Too many young gods beef over nothin'

When you get money you know that it's comin'

Sayin' they homies but they ain't a hunnid

We the most hunted uh

I got my Mets hat on to the back

Y'all already know where we goin' with the stacks

Hall of fame only kings and queens only

They all be grabbin' my style but you know they can't hold me

Yeah I'm in rare form

Rare form

Y'all still on the ground you know I've been airborne

Airbone

Studyin' Big studyin' Nietzsche

You gotta call on the chopper to reach me

Homie I don't need a jeweler to freeze me

Ice in my veins I make it look easy

Mentally I'm in Queens

Mo' Money Mo' Problems you gotta be ready for all that it brings

Let 'em say what they say revenge on my plate I'm lovin' the taste

They see you shining emotions get hard to contain

They just not evolvin' the same

Me and HB is too rare

I'm movin' all through the snares sound on billionaire

Ain't nothin' changed I'm flippin' a page

I'm Prince on the stage SLAVE on his face

You know what they say KD the wave

I'm stayin' rare for all of my days

I'm stayin' rare for all of my days

Braveheart

Levels on Tarantino

Curvin' my ego even though he know

Empty glass of Pinot cigars and casinos

What they especially praise is the ethos

Stacks on blackjack movin' my chips

No superstition to make me get rich

I'm with this chick just one I brought today

In between placin' my bets we shop to Cartier

Rose gold I cop the bracelet

Runway hop in the jet flight attendant poppin' Moet

I said I need that Dom off the respect

We havin' conversations n***as show me property then

I call my n***a and I tell him "Yo I gotta be there"

Salmon shish kabob in a misty fog roll a sticky log

Big dawg affair no kids involved

Roundtable havin' war council

Press one button it'll change the world around you

Too rare nothin' to see here Cuban over my streetwear

You're nobody to somebody kills you just to be fair

It's okay to keep the mystique I learned that in the street

On me solo or deep I'm puttin' on for the G's

Hit-Boy

We been doin' gangsta s**t for a long time

Look inside my mind see a gold mine

I'm my own cosign she textin' the old line

You keep starin' at the glow b***h don't go blind

Braveheart energy f**k all of the enemies

XO Hennessy it's not on me it's in me

I'm not here to be friendly they even pretendin'

Comprende

We've been gangsta s**t for a long time

Look inside my mind see a gold mine

I'm my own cosign she textin' the old line

Comprende

It's up Hit-Boy you on some other s**t

We on some other s**t comprende

Yeah
