Ether Lyrics – Nas

[Intro: Nas]
F**k Jay-Z
What's up, n!ggas?
Ayo, I know you ain't talking about me, dawg (You? What?)
F**k Jay-Z
You been on my d!ck, n!gga
You love my style, n!gga (Uh, uh, uh, uh)
F**k Jay-Z

[Chorus: Nas]
(I) F**k with your soul like ether
(Will) Teach you, the king, you know you
(Not) God's Son across the belly
(Lose) I'll prove you lost already (Uh)

[Verse 1: Nas]
Brace yourself for the main event, y'all impatiently waiting
It's like a AIDS test, what's the results?
Not positive, who's the best, Pac, Nas and B.I.G.?
Ain't no best, east, west, north, south, flossed out
Greetings, I embrace y'all with napalm
Blows up, no guts left, chest, face gone
How could Nas be garbage? Semi-autos at your cartilage (Uh)
Burner at the side of your dome, come out of my throne
I got this locked since '91 (Uh), I am the truest
Name a rapper that I ain't influenced
Gave y'all chapters, but now I keep my eyes on the Judas
With Hawaiian Sophie fame, kept my name in his music, check it

[Chorus: Nas]
(I) F**k with your soul like ether
(Will) Teach you, the king, you know you
(Not) God's Son across the belly (Haha)
(Lose) I'll prove you lost already (Uh)

[Interlude: Nas]
Ayo, pass me the weed (Tsk, there you go)
Put my ashes out on these n!ggas, man (Ain't no doubt)
Ayo, you faggots, y'all kneel and kiss the motherf**king ring

[Chorus: Nas]
(I) F**k with your soul like ether
(Will) Teach you, the king, you know you
(Not) God's Son across the belly
(Lose) I'll prove you lost already

[Verse 2: Nas]
I've been f**ked over, left for dead, dissed and forgotten
Luck ran out, they hoped that I'd be gone, stiff and rotten
Y'all just p!ss on me, sh!t on me, spit on my grave (Uh)
Talk about me, laugh behind my back, but in my face
Y'all some well-wishing (B!tch n!ggas)
Friendly-acting, envy-hiding snakes
With your hands out for my money, man, how much can I take?
When these streets keep calling, heard it when I was sleep
That this Gay-Z and Cock-a-Fella Records wanted beef (What?)
Started cocking up my weapon, slowly loading up this ammo
To explode it on a camel (Haha) and his soldiers I can handle
This for dolo and his manuscript just sound stupid
When KRS already made a album called Blueprint (D!ck)
First Biggie's your man, then you got the nerve to say
That you better than B.I.G., d!ck-sucking lips (Ha)
Why don't you let the late, great veteran live?

[Interlude: Nas]
I will
Not lose (God's son across the belly
I'll prove you lost already), uh
The king is back
Where my crown at? (Ill Will)
Ill Will, rest in peace, let's do it, n!ggas

[Chorus: Nas]
(I) F**k with your soul like ether
(Will) Teach you, the king, you know you
(Not) God's Son across the belly
(Lose) I'll prove you lost already

[Verse 3: Nas]
Y'all n!ggas deal with emotions like b!tches
What's sad is I love you 'cause you're my brother
You traded your soul for riches
My child, I've watched you grow up to be famous
And now I smile like a proud dad watching his only son that made it
You seem to be only concerned with dissing women
Were you abused as a child? Scared to smile, they called you ugly?
Well, life is harsh, hug me, don't reject me
Or make records to disrespect me, blatant or indirectly
In '88 you was getting chased through your building
Calling my crib and I ain't even give you my numbers
All I did was give you a style for you to run with
Smiling in my face, glad to break bread with the God
Wearing Jaz' chains, no TECs, no cash, no cars
No jail bars, Jigga, no pies, no case
Just Hawaiian shirts, hanging with little Chase
You a fan, a phony, a fake, a pu**y, a Stan
I'll still whip your ass, you thirty-six in a karate class?
You Tae-Bo ho, tryna work it out, you tryna get brolic?
Ask me if I'm tryna kick knowledge?
Nah, I'm tryna kick the sh!t you need to learn, though
That ether, that sh!t that make your soul burn slow (Burn slow)
Is he Dame Diddy, Dame Daddy or Dame Dummy?
Oh, I get it, you Biggie and he's Puffy (Ill)
Rocafella died of AIDS, that was the end of his chapter
And that's the guy y'all chose to name your company after?
Put it together, I rock hoes, y'all rock fellas
And now y'all tryna take my spot, fellas?
Feel these hot rocks, fellas, put you in a dry spot, fellas
In a pine box with nine shots from my Glock, fellas
Foxy got you hot 'cause you kept your face in her puss
What you think, you getting girls now 'cause of your looks?
(Girls, girls, girls, haha)
Negro, please, ha, you no-mustache-having
With whiskers like a rat, compared to Beans, you wack
And your man stabbed Un and made you take the blame
You ass, went from Jaz to hanging with Kane, to Irv, to B.I.G
And Eminem murdered you on your own sh!t
You a d!ck-riding faggot, you love the attention
Queens n!ggas run you n!ggas, ask Russell Simmons, ha
R-O-C get gunned up and clapped quick
J.J. Evans get gunned up and clapped quick
Your whole damn record label, gunned up and clapped quick
Shawn Carter to Jay-Z, damn, you on Jaz d!ck
So little Shawny's getting gunned up and clapped quick
How much of Biggie's rhymes is gone come out your fat lips? (N!gga)
Wanted to be on every last one of my classics
You pop sh!t, apologize, n!gga, just ask Kiss
