"My pen taps the paper then my brains blank" - Nas

Everything is great about this song. From the Craig G and Biz Markie samples, to the briskly paced, organized stream of conscious delivery.
Seconds verse is the standout...

"My pen taps the paper then my brain's blank
I see dark streets, hustling brothers who keep the same rank
Pumping for something, some'll prosper, some fail
Judges hanging niggas, uncorrect bails, for direct sales
My intellect prevails from a hanging cross with nails
I reinforce the frail, with lyrics that's real
Word to Christ, a disciple of streets, trifle on beats
I decipher prophecies through a mic and say peace."
