Hoodrats, don't abortion your wombs. We need more warriors soon, sent from the stars, sun, and the moon.

how am i supposed to choose?..

i've played "Distant Relatives" last week, so just a random fave verse by Nas:

As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
New York to Cali, for the money, power, respect
It's a journey, some'll get left behind
Cause in life, you cannot press rewind
Get it right, you only have one first chance
To make one first impression that lasts a lifetime
Reputation supersedes itself
Do you believe in Hell? Babylon greed for wealth
Do you deceive yourself and let your ego swell?
And disregard those who most need your help
Thick skin, the dark won't take my soul
Survive spiritual wars, see my welts
And the evil's felt, but the faith is stronger
I saw grown men fall when I was a youngster
But I clench my fists, ready to go against whoever
Tie my Timbs and rise in the end

lyrically it might not be his top one, but there's such a chemistry between Nas and Damian and on this song particularly. he killed this beat, his flow is flawless here.

other than that.. man, every verse on 'One Mic' or 'What Goes Around' or 'Memory Lane' or.. just insert a random verse here, i'm ok with that. :shifty:
