Systematic

[Verse 1: Nas]

The system will defeat itself

Nothing stays in a steady state, it overheats and melts

It only feeds itself, the system

Yo, I think it exists just because, like a pit eats its pups

Eats its own litter up

The system's fucked, it's corrupt

It's for its own survival, it's genocidal

No place or origin, no beginning cycle

Let's occupy all streets

It's crazy to think in the '80s

I wanted minks, and a Benz to listen to Michael

And Grand Puba Maxwell and get cash while

I'm sippin' on drinks

In Nike sweatsuits and Gucci links

I'm like a Russian mob figure, I'm mad low

In the shadows, big up to Shadow

DJ Shadow arose to throw blows

Can't see me but Nas moving the fastest

I'm a 3D movie, no need of glasses

I'm a 3D movie, no need of glasses

[Chorus: Nas]

Hold your breath for fifteen seconds

Close your eyes, cover your ears, do not listen
