[00:04.47] The light is there.
[00:11.34] See I come from Mississippi
[00:13.97] I was young and runnin' wild
[00:17.22] Ended up in New York City, where I had my first child
[00:23.66] I named the boy Nasir, all the boys call him Nas
[00:30.04] I told him as a youngster, he'll be the greatest man alive
[00:35.04] Let's go!... Hey-Hey-Hey-Hey --
[00:46.53] Tribrary of these rap skits, styles I mastered
[00:48.79] Many brothers snatched it up and tried to match it
[00:51.35] But I'm still number one, everyday real
[00:53.10] Speak what I want, I don't care what y'all feel
[00:56.35] Cause I'm my own master, my Pop told me be your own boss
[00:59.79] Keep integrity at every cost, and his home was Natchez Mississippi
[01:04.10] Did it like Miles and Dizzy, now we gettin' busy
[01:06.97] Bridging The Gap from the blues, to jazz, to rap
[01:09.72] The history of music on this track
[01:12.10] Born in the game, discovered my father's music
[01:14.10] Like Prince searchin' through boxes of Purple Rain
[01:16.91] But my Minneapolis was The Bridge, home of the Superkids
[01:20.22] Some are well-known, some doin' bids
[01:21.91] I mighta ended up on the wrong side of the tracks
[01:24.41] If Pops wouldn't've pulled me back an said yo
[01:27.10] Greatest man alive (Nas Yeah, turn it up!)
[01:52.26] Gre-Gre-Gre-Gre-Greatest man alive!
[01:53.32] The blues came from gospel, gospel from blues
[01:54.94] Slaves are harmonizin' them ah's and ooh's
[01:57.69] Old school, new school, know school rules
[01:59.82] All these years I been voicin' my blues
[02:03.00] I'm a artist from the start, Hip-Hop guided my heart
[02:05.50] Graffiti on the wall, coulda ended in Spoffard, juvenile delinquent
[02:09.63] But Pops gave me the right type'a tools to think with
[02:12.95] Books to read, like X and stuff
[02:15.70] Cause the schools said the kids had dyslexia
[02:18.26] In art class I was a compulsive sketcher of
[02:20.95] Teachers in my homeroom, I drew pix to mess them up
[02:24.01] Cause none'a them would like my style
[02:26.01] Read more books than the curriculum profile
[02:28.51] Said, Mr. Jones please come get your child
[02:31.13] Cause he's writin' mad poems and his s are wild
[02:33.99]
[02:54.99] Greatest man ? The great-greatest man alive
[02:57.80] Hey-Hey-Hey -- My Poppa was not a Rollin' Stone
[03:01.24] He been around the world blowin' his horn, still he came home
[03:04.62] Then he got grown, changed his name to Olu
[03:07.05] Come on, tell 'em 'bout the places you gone to
[03:09.56] I been to Saudi Arabia, Mozambique
[03:12.30] Madagascar, Paris, Greece
[03:14.74] The Middle Africa is where we lived
[03:17.55] Better known as Queenbridge
[03:20.49] Nas, Nas you don't stop
[03:22.37] Olu Dara in the house, you don't stop
[03:24.93] Muddy Waters' Howling Wolf you don't stop
[03:27.55] From the Blues to Street Hop you don't stop
[03:30.12] Tell 'em Pop
[03:30.93] See I come from Mississippi (Let 'em know)
[03:33.99] I was young and runnin' wild (Runnin' wild)
[03:36.30] Ended up in New York City (Yeah!)
[03:38.80] Where I had my first child (That's me)
[03:41.68] I named the boy Nasir (Yeah, Daddy!)
[03:44.24] All the boys call him Nas (Luh ya, boy)
[03:47.05] I told him as a youngster
[03:48.37] He'll be the greatest man alive (You the greatest, Pop)
[03:52.12] Greatest man alive (You the greatest, Pop)
[03:53.91] Gre-Gre-Gre-Gre-Greatest man alive!
[03:56.54] Rest In Peace Ray Charles
