Ya'll, don't compare this to the original, think of it as a sequel. If you listen to the lyrics, he's talking about how he used to have to image what he wanted(the original), now he doesn't have to because it's reality(this version). Clever
Words have power, and when Nazir speak and spit power is put into action, read about what he is speaking /spittin you will be awaken. Peace and infinit love.
That quote at the end is by Ralph Waldo Emerson and it's incomplete but its all good. Quote: "Be yourself; no base imitator of another, but your best self. There is something which you can do better than another. Listen to the inward voice and bravely obey that. Do the things at which you are great, not what you were never made for."
Like this better. Don't get it wrong, loved Lauryn's version ,but Ambrosius version clicks with me. Nas is a toss. I can't really get into except for this song.
Nas will always be the shit but this version blows lauren hill is way better. and yeah I agree with you on that one she is one if not the greatest female rapper in my opinion. Aaliyah was my fav till she passed away miss her fine ass =(
