Lyrics

Ether (Unreleased Edition)

[NOTE: Lyrics are not complete]

[Verse 1]

So you call yourself a God MC, Jay-Hova

Drunk the glass of blasphemy and forgot to pray over

Your game's over

Crossed the warpath of a brave soldier

You're a makeover

My protege trying to Takeover

I was the shepherd that led you

But you bit the hand that fed you

Mad 'cause since I met you I never did respect you

And as hard as it seems

You know that I fathered your dreams

You was a groupie always begging to be part of my team

Another case of a boy and his teacher

I was the first to poison your speakers

So kill all that noise that you're preaching

I understand, all your plans to underhand

Aired threats of you pullin' my card next Summer Jam

Let me make this clear Hova

You had my left overs

She told me your little problem of the day when you slept over

But that's another subject homie

[?] you phony

I'm coming to collect the debt from the years that you owe me

So what you capitalized, only cause I allowed

I'm taking aim at your dome

And reclaiming my throne

Who said I that I ain't still nasty?

[Verse 2]

How you planned on facing

The half man half-amazing

Don't need a fam', Nas is a one man invasion

Claim you hot but you flopped with your R.O.C-familia

'Cause real recognize real and you're not familiar

Call yourself gangsta' but you were begging for pardon

That night in Carbon, when Terror Squad flipped on your squadron

Tried to front on their checks

Till Pun put a gun to your chest

You said it yourself dog, Nas is one of the best

Don't need to search for some dirt to expose you

I leave it up to the flow dispose you

When I oppose you

This is it, I'm calling ya'

Come out and play like “warriors”

Studied my blueprint then pieced together your formula

Guess the knowledge I speak too deep to follow

That's why your stomach too weak to swallow

The real truth that Nas is the greatest of all timers

Fuck skeletons, keep only weaponry in my closets
