Verse of The Week"'Nas is like...' Sex to a nympho, but nothing sweet/
I'm like beef, bustin' heat through your window/
I'm like a street sweeper, greenleaf creeper/
Like Greeks in Egypt, learning something deep from they teachers/
I'm like crime, like your nine, your man you would die for/
Always got you, I'm like 'Pac duke you would cry for/
I'm like a whole lot of loot, I'm like crisp money/
Corporate accounts from a rich company/
I'm like ecstasy for ladies/
I'm like all races combined in one man;/
Like the '99 Summer Jam/
Bulletproof Hummer man/
I'm like being locked down around new faces, and none of 'em fam'/
I'm the feeling of a millionaire spendin' a hundred grand/
I'm a poor man's dream, a thug poet/
Live it, and I write down then I watch it blow up/
Y'all know what I'm like, y'all play it your system every night now"
