Covering this is pretty dangerous to do lol cause you aint ever gonna live up to it that's the problem.
You could have at least done the hook lol, that would have helped to personify it more.
I like your voice that's the first thing I noticed, pretty strong. You remind me of Killa. You also kinda sound a bit like Devlin.
Flow was pretty impressive, and I liked how you dealt with the pauses that come in the beat, like the "hopeless" thing and the broke refrain.
Oh so now you are doing the hook? Lol why didn't you do the first one as well? That'd be the first time the listener would expect to hear it

Lyrics were good, nothing spectacular cause this is more just a cover song so there is no real "concept". But i enjoyed listening to it enough so that's something.
Decent track, but being just a Nas cover it won't get full judgement off me. When I hear an original track then i'll examine that closer
