Rare lyrics - Nas

Yo

I'm in rare form

Niggas speak down on my name like I wasn't 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

Uh

Musically I'm on Mars

Walking 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

Standin' in front of where they shot Ahmaud and we gotta know who we are

Uh

I'm in rare form

Wearin' rare Jordans straight from Air Jordan this a fair warning

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 going with the stats

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

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

Studying BIG studying Nietzsche

You gotta call in a chopper to reach me

Homey I don't need a jeweler to freeze me

Ice in my veins I make it look easy

Mentally I'm in Queens

More money more 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 shinin' emotions get hard to contain

They just not evolving the same

Me and HB is too rare

I'm movin' all thru the snares

Sound on billionaire

Ain't nothin' changed I'm flippin' the 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

Levels of Tarantino

Curbin' 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 placing my bets we shopped at Cartier

Rose gold I copped her a set

Runway hopped in the jet

Flight attendant poppin' Moet

I said I need that Dom off of respect

We havin' conversations niggas show me property there

I called my nigga Ant and told him yo I gotta be there

Salmon shish kabob in a misty fog rollin' sticky log

Big dog affair no kids involved

Round table havin' war council

Press one button it'll change the world around you

Too rare, nuttin' to see here

Cuban over my streetwear

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

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

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

We been doin' gangsta shit for a long time

Look inside my mind, see a gold mine

I'm my own co-sign

She textin' the old line

You keep staring at the glow bitch don't go blind

Braveheart energy, fuck all the enemies

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

I'm not here to be friendly they ain't even contending

Comprende

We been doin' gangsta shit for a long time

Look inside my mind, see a gold mine

I'm my own co-sign

She textin' the old line

Comprende

It's up

Hit-Boy you on some other shit

We on some other shit

Comprende

Yeah
