"The light is there."

: Olu Dara singing

See I come from Mississippi

I was young and runnin wild

Ended up in New York Citywhere I had my first child

I named the boy Nasirall the boys call him Nas

I told him as a youngsterhe ll be the greatest man alive

[Verse 1: Nas

Let s go!... Hey-Hey-Hey-Hey --

Tribrary of these rap skitsstyles I mastered

Many brothers snatched it up and tried to match it

But I m still number oneeveryday real

Speak what I wantI don t care what y all feel

Cause I m my own mastermy Pop told me be your own boss

Keep integrity at every costand his home was Natchez Mississippi

Did it like Miles and Dizzynow we gettin busy

Bridging The Gap from the bluesto jazzto rap

The history of music on this track

Born in the gamediscovered my father s music

Like Prince searchin through boxes of Purple Rain

But my Minneapolis was The Bridgehome of the Superkids

Some are well-knownsome doin bids

I mighta ended up on the wrong side of the tracks

If Pops wouldn t ve pulled me back an said yo

[Olu Dara singing

Greatest man alive Nas: Yeahturn it up!

Gre-Gre-Gre-Gre-Greatest man alive!

[Verse 2: Nas

The blues came from gospelgospel from blues

Slaves are harmonizin them ah s and ooh s

Old schoolnew schoolknow school rules

All these years I been voicin my blues

I m a artist from the startHip-Hop guided my heart

Graffiti on the wallcoulda ended in Spoffardjuvenile delinquent

But Pops gave me the right type a tools to think with

Books to readlike X and stuff

Cause the schools said the kids had dyslexia

In art class I was a compulsive sketcher of

Teachers in my homeroomI drew pix to mess them up

Cause none a them would like my style

Read more books than the curriculum profile

SaidMr. Jones please come get your child

Cause he s writin mad poems and his verses are wild

[Olu Dara singing

Greatest man ? The great-greatest man alive

[Verse 3: Nas

Hey-Hey-Hey -- My Poppa was not a Rollin Stone

He been around the world blowin his hornstill he came home

Then he got grownchanged his name to Olu

Come ontell em bout the places you gone to

[Olu Dara singing

I been to Saudi ArabiaMozambique

MadagascarParisGreece

The Middle Africa is where we lived

Better known as Queenbridge

[Nas

From the Blues to Street Hop you don t stop

[Outro: Olu Dara singing / Nas adlibbing

See I come from Mississippi Let em know

I was young and runnin wild Runnin wild

Ended up in New York City Yeah!

Where I had my first child That s me
