    Intro
    Yo
    I’m in rare form
    n*ggas speak down on my name like I wasn’t there for ‘em
    Talk about back in the days
    This isn’t back in the days
    They want me back in my ways
    Chipped tooth and the fade
    Verse 1
    Uh
    Musically I’m on Mars
    Walking all over the beat
    Puttin my feet on the stars
    I rock it like Lenny, thinkin like Jimi the first time he seen a guitar
    Standin’ in front of where they shot Ahmaud and we gotta know who we are
    Uh
    I’m in rare form
    Wearin’ rare Jordans straight from Air Jordan this a fair warning
    Too many young gods beef over nothin
    When you get money you know that it’s comin
    Sayin’ they homies but they ain’t a hunnid
    We the most hunted uh
    I got my Mets hat on to the back
    Yall already know where we going with the stats
    Hall of Fame only Kings and Queens only
    They all be grabbin’ my style but you know they can’t hold me
    Yeah
    I’m in rare form
    Yall still on the ground you know I been airborne
    Studying BIG studying Nietzsche
    You gotta call in a chopper to reach me
    Homey I don’t need a jeweler to freeze me
    Ice in my veins I make it look easy
    Mentally I’m in Queens
    More money more problems you gotta be ready for all that it brings
    Let ‘em say what they say revenge on my plate I’m lovin’ the taste
    They see you shinin’ emotions get hard to contain
    They just not evolving the same
    Me and HB is too rare
    I’m movin’ all thru the snares
    Sound on billionaire
    Ain’t nothin’ changed I’m flippin’ the page
    I’m Prince on the stage, slave on his face
    You know what they say, KD the wave
    I’m stayin’ rare for all of my days
    I’m stayin’ rare for all of my days
    Verse 2
    Levels of Tarantino
    Curbin’ my ego, even though he know
    Empty glass of Pinot, cigars and casinos
    What they especially praise is the ethos
    Stacks on blackjack, movin’ my chips
    No superstition to make me get rich
    I’m with this chick just one I brought today
    In between placing my bets we shopped at Cartier
    Rose gold I copped her a set
    Runway hopped in the jet
    Flight attendant poppin’ Moet
    I said I need that Dom off of respect
    We havin’ conversations n*ggas show me property there
    I called my n*gga Ant and told him yo I gotta be there
    Salmon shish kabob in a misty fog rollin’ sticky log
    Big dog affair no kids involved
    Round table havin’ war council
    Press one button it’ll change the world around you
    Too rare, nuttin’ to see here
    Cuban over my streetwear
    You’re nobody ‘til somebody kills you just to be fair
    It’s ok to keep the mystique I learned that in the street
    On me, solo or deep, I’m puttin’ on for the G’s
    Chorus
    We been doin’ gangsta sh*t for a long time
    Look inside my mind, see a gold mine
    I’m my own co-sign
    She textin’ the old line
    You keep staring at the glow b*tch don’t go blind
    Braveheart energy f*ck all the enemies
    XO Hennessy it’s not on me it’s in me
    I’m not here to be friendly they ain’t even contending
    Comprende
    We been doin’ gangsta sh*t for a long time
    Look inside my mind, see a gold mine
    I’m my own co-sign
    She textin’ the old line
    Comprende
    It’s up
    Hit-Boy you on some other sh*t
    We on some other sh*t
    Comprende
    Yeah

      I think it has more to do with the cult novelty that the cult of youth.
      Nas is good but he still sounds like Nas, 30yrs later, so while for us it has a lot of nostalgia value added to the fact that it's objectively good, it lacks the novelty polish.

      @@UA-cam_is_Trash I hear what ur saying but do you have examples artists his age who you would consider novelty? Jay-Z still sounds like Jay-Z but he's one of the best in the game.
      I feel like Nas flow on this is innovative and has grown similar to J-Cole on his most recent songs. Even though sometimes the sound can be redundant - there are a few songs that you can see are refined + have a more unique/innovative quality about it even if the entire project isn't 'novelty'.
      I don't listen to many new Nas songs because I don't feel like he always pushes his own limits creatively but I think this song reflects that he is able to.
      I do think whether it's novelty or youth obsession - people who truly love music can respect an artist who has been refined through the years. Sometimes more than what is trending. When it really comes down 2 it.
