see, the sun never stopped shining
even though at some point, I stopped trying
I quit but told the world I’m no quitter
even though I had nothing left to give
I still called myself a giver
I hoped that saying the words would make them manifest
but without substance there is no substanance
and rest remains for the weary
the pools at my feet from being so teary
didn’t do nothing for me but swallow me
where’s the light?
where did it go?
I was supposed to be better than this
I was more than adequately equipped
to fight all this
but I got tired
failing was flailing through the wind
and I couldn’t stand firm
my grip became loose on the staff of sanity
so I hated myself
when all I really wanted was for ya’ll to love me
and guilted myself when there was more than plenty
perhaps it was surrendipity
perhaps it was destiny
because now, I can say NO more
I’m not that wombyn anymore
I may not see the light
but I’ll keep walking
towards the greater something
back towards myself
the true me
I’ve been on my knees so long
that I forgot about the wings on my back
and how absolutely ludicrous is that?
how ridiculous is that?

Complex: The Best Rapper Alive, Every Year Since 1979
Nas, Nas, Nas was not the king of disco, despite what the “It Ain’t Hard To Tell” remix would have you believe. But he was a king, the king of rap. In 1994, at the age of 19, Nasty Nasir Jones would ascend the throne with the April release of Illmatic, his debut LP. A raw talent, one of the first to make a name on guest appearances, Nas’s shocking, borderline horrorcore (before horrorcore existed) raps of the early ’90s created an enormous buzz for the Queensbridge MC.
