Best Nas Poems
This won't be a pretty picture, but I'm going to use this paper to put my art on
I'm not heartless, let me show you where my heart's gone
Should I be ashamed? Should I hide my scars?
Some were gave to me, others inflicted from self-harm
The weight of the world on my shoulders, is easy to carry compared to the pain in my heart
I fell so many times and had no one helping me up
How could I be alone when I have depression telling me I suck
I wanted to get close to you Chantal, but depression was right there
It made me push away my dream girl and continued to be my nightmare
Age 13 I lost my virginity to a girl called Meg
I grew up quicker than I should have
I wonder if she ever thinks of me? Do I pop into her head?
It wasn't her first time, so I doubt it was as special for her
If she reads this, I hope I can make her feel special with words
There I go, Putting out stuff about me the world doesn't need to know
I'm probably wrong for putting my heart on display when I write this
I just hope people who give this a read will grow
Even if they judge me, I don't think I can hide this
I battle suicidal thoughts daily, so a lot of people consider me weak
I can rhyme my pain perfectly, but I'm unable to deliver a speech
When my ex cheated, was the guy richer than me?
Was he bigger than me?
I don't need to know, tell the bartender it's a hard liquor for me
All of my mistakes came with a lesson attached
I've never touched drugs, even though my brother and sister are injecting smack
Who am I to judge, when I used to pick up blades and made myself start bleeding
Depression makes me tired, anxiety prevents me from sleeping
I was bullied at school and made to feel worthless
I can't be a good poet, because I don't know how to word it
Got told I shouldn't love hip hop cause I'm a white dude
You don't have the right to listen to Rakim, Nas, Big Pun and Ice Cube
I was confused as to why they cared so much about what's playing in my earphones
Dealing with my fears alone
Bipolar so a lot of people label me weird
Sometimes I wish I wasn't able to hear
I find it hard to open up to new people who come close
I hide my feelings to the best of my ability from people I know
I'm only human, I hope you can learn from my mistakes
This is my real life pain, but to you its just words on a page

Away bleak weather! It’s your time to flee.
Sun shines down and gifts me with his glow.
Pellucid are the streams from melting snow.
Robin’s come. I see her in my tree!
Ice and Sleet, it’s good to see you go!
Now the earth is ready to regrow.
Gladness sweetly takes a hold of me.
I take a stroll outside. It’s such a treat.
No longer do I trudge with dreary feet.
My gait is lively as I amble where
Yellow-flowered fields perfume the air.
Spring, is here! I feel my spirit sing
Thankfulness to God for everything.
Effervescently I greet each day.
Perpetually may this springtime stay!

These are some of my unpopular opinions that some people won't like
You can't be considered the greatest rapper if you've had somebody ghostwrite
If you don't write your own lyrics then you're a singer not an artist
Lil Pump, Lil Yatchy, Tekashi 69 are all garbage
a lot of rappers need to stop freestyling and start writing lyrics that make sense on a page
There's something more beautiful about a woman with stretch marks than a girl who's had surgery and fake
Forget having 100 different girls, I'd rather have 1 girl I love to call mine
Nas is the greatest rapper of all time
Eminem's "Revival" album was nowhere near as bad as people made it out to be
a lot of rappers know no one will buy their album, that's why they release mixtapes for free
Cristiano Ronaldo is the greatest athlete to ever exist
Serena Williams, Messi, Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson and Mayweather are next on the list
Pineapple doesn't belong on pizza, but I don't really care if you eat it
Kim Kardashian should post something to inspire teenage girls because another nude isn't needed
We've seen you naked enough times
Demi Lovato is the most beautiful girl in the world and I wish she was mine
Nicki Minaj is annoying and overrated
I like Drake, but you hype him up to be a genius when most of his rhymes are basic
This poem isn't important and quite a pointless write
But I thought I'd write about some of my unpopular opinions tonight

"Seeded"
planted in the mind, another way of being
outside spectrum, the act of forgiveness
the lore of love, united with the Seven Sisters
(LadyLabyrinth / 2022)
"The Pleiadean Frequency"
https://youtu.be/5FHMTeyPlbo
“Suddenly they all fell off the edge into the sky, where they all turned into stars."
“One day, as they danced, they found themselves rising little by little into the air, their heads being light through hunger. How this happened they did not know, but one said, “Do not look back, for something strange is taking place”. A woman, too, saw them rise and called them back, but with no effect, for they still rose slowly above the earth. She ran to the camp, and all rushed out with food of every kind, but the children would not return, though their parents called piteously after them. But one would even look back, and he became a falling star. The others reached the sky, and are now what we call the Pleiades, and the Onondagas Oot-kwa-tah. Every falling or shooting star recalls the story, but the seven stars shine on continuously, a pretty band of dancing children.”

At times I've filled in a 200 page pad in a day
Yet I still had more to say
I've always liked rhyming I just find it fun
My mind is always thinking so there isn't a time when my rhymes are done
Even when I'm writing simple rhymes
You'd lose your mind by some of the things my pencil finds
I like being lyrical so sometimes I'm Bending words
I won't always rhyme with the ending word
You couldn't keep count of the pieces of paper that my pen gets through
I make a beautiful story out of the ugliness that men step through
Sometimes I like to switch it up and use rhymes that are multi syllable
I've still not yet gone fully lyrical
I grew up listening to the thoughts of Nas and the rhymes of Rakim
So you can't compete with the lines I'm jotting
Blasting Wu Tang and Big Pun to sound out the screams and sadness
Constantly trying to come up with new ideas, rhyme schemes and patterns
Loving Hip-Hop got me to start writing double rhymes
I picked up a pen and rhyming saved my troubled mind
I've always liked rhyming I just find it fun
Time to start my next poem so my rhymes aren't done

Your Glory
Surrounded by your glory- what can I feel?
Surrounded by your glory - what can I fear?
Surrounded by your glory, there is no pain.
There is no fear, there is no sorrow, because
You are my glory...
I Give My Love
To you JUSUS I am ready to give my love.
But I want it to be clean and pure. I come to
you to clean my soul and make white nas snow.
To you JESUS I bring you my heart. It is full of sacrs
that I could not heal, but you JESUS, will touch it and
make it new, so as of today JESUS my heart and my
love belongs to you...
JESUS MY Light
To me, you are my my guide. You are also
my light. You are what I need to make my
life right.
please JESUS come into my life. Come into
my heart. Please come and change my life.
Please shine on me your light.

I'm just having fun, but no doubt someone will take this serious
I'm about to take you on a lyrical experience
I'm having fun with words, like when a baby first starts reading books
Saying I'm good at rhyming, Is like saying Mike Tyson packs a decent punch
I best mention the Kardashians other wise you'll have trouble keeping up
Me with a pen is more dangerous than Michael Myers on Halloween when he starts slashing with the knife
Telling me I can't rhyme, is the biggest mistake you've made since you let your ex Back in to your life
Speaking of exes, will someone please date mine
I promise she'll give you a great time
I'll pay for the date, its all on me
All I ask, is please be good enough to get her to stop calling me
I love Hip Hop, and yeah I know I'm white
Please be creative and tell me how I'm the new Vanilla ice
Or how I should walk right back across 8 mile
I could have thrown this into my waste pile
But I just wanted to write some joke lines and have some fun
Sick of hearing rappers talk about drugs and how they pack a gun
"yeah I'm Bad. I'll make this Uzi Squirt"
You don't know who Nas is, And think the greatest rapper is Lil Uzi Vert
Or some other mumble rapper with lame rhymes
You deserve to have Biggie and Big Pun sit on you at the same time
Some guy called Young Thug is wearing dresses
That's not something I have a problem with
My problem is
There's so much going on in the world and these rappers are scared to address it
What happened to Hip-Hop when rappers would share a message?
Nas, Big Daddy Kane, Slick Rick, I could name so many more
Now its a bunch of dudes who sound the same with empty thoughts
I'd pretend to be from the hood and blast guns but I'd fail
I'd rather be the real me, and I'm far too cute to go to Jail
I just love Hip Hop and the way it used to be
You always get the truth from me
someone tell Rihanna I'm ready to give her the best 30 seconds of her life
Tell her she'll only regret it if I become a legend when I die
Knowing she could of had me
This is my last piece of paper, I'm now pad free
I was watching rap battles on YouTube, So took you on this lyrical experience
I'm just a poetical lyricist

Flava flav, Run DMC,
Digital Underground.
The early 90's I found hip hop.
I found poetry..
Langston Hughes, led to
Tupac Shakur.
Do you remember "Jada"
and "When ure hero falls"
Flamboyant, charismatic,
scholastic,
a ghetto philosopher..
"Thug Life", "2Pacolipse"
I heard you, I felt your pain,
your struggles...
"All Eyes on me"
and my favorite,
Makaveli...
You inspired me.
many have lost resolve to me,
by your collaboration with Jodeci.
"Me and my Girlfriend"
A masterpiece...
Tupac and Biggie,
friends turned vicious enemies.
Five shots,
an attempted murder plot
brought conflict and
a Bill Boards top ten spot...
interactions with Faith,
enhanced Biggies rage
"West coast, East coast"
beef took center stage....
Yet through all of your controversy
you would shock and amaze.
God has judged you my friend!!
I see you in white, sharp
with a glass of "Thug Passion".
When I meet my fate,
I'll see you with Nas
chillin',
in "Thugs Mansion"
I love you Pac!!
This poem is dedicated to one of the greatest artists of all time.
Tupac Shakur will never be forgotten, his message inspired many
before and after his death.... The name Tupac Shakur will always live on..
June 16th 1971--- September 13, 1996
RIP, we miss you Pac!!!

Ode
Growing up in care I never had my family by my side
I was damaged and lost as a child
Hood up to hide my face and I would never smile
But Hip Hop saved my life
Heard the Marshall Mathers LP when I was 8 years old
I only understood the swearing and was too young to compare flows
But I was enticed by it and instantly became a fan
I became such a big fan of Marshall, My parents should have named me Stan
I was already a fan of Tupac, Em, 50, G-Unit, Xzibit and the main big rappers
But as soon as I became 13 my life wouldn't be the same after
Let me talk about the album that made me fall in love with Hip-Hop
I hadn't heard of him, but brought the Documentary by the game at my local CD shop
I played it from start to finish, and loved every song
It was from that moment, I knew hip hop was the place I belonged
Hip-Hop gave me a feeling I didn't know, as I'd never known love
Age 14 I went and studied, Rakim, Nas, Big Pun, Big L, and Bone thugs
Ebonics by Big L will teach you about the slang
Mobb deep taught me there's no such thing as halfway crooks
I love Hip-Hop too much to become a slave in Nas's rhyme book
Hip-hop was in my blood, because i share the same birthday as Method man from wu tang
They grew up on the crime side
I went back and studied wu tang to get my rhymes right
N.W.A are the most important Hip-Hop group of all time
You won't understand lyrics by Nas and Lupe Fiasco if you have a small mind
All day, every day I had Hip-Hop playing
Half the time I didn't have a clue what Twista was saying
Scarface Should be given a lot more credit and respect
When it comes to storytelling, Masta ace and Slick Rick are 2 of the best
No DMX slander shall ever prosper in my presence
Eazy E, Pac, Biggie, Left eye, Soulja Slim, Proof, just paying tribute to some fallen Hip-Hop legends
Crooked I, Charles Hamilton, and Cassidy are the freestyle kings on the Mic
Jadakiss has never spit a bad verse in his life
But Styles P is the best member of the Lox
I'll never love anyone as much as I love Hip-Hop
I have a lot more to say, but I'll save that for another write
I'll always be thankful because Hip-Hop saved my life

If I hear Gucci Gang one more time I'm going to go insane
I went from being a tortured poet, to a music artist's music leaving me in pain
Repeating the same words for 2 minutes, you leave most poets pens ashamed
Out of all the new rappers, I couldn't tell you ten names
They're all the same, rapping about nonsense
Oh you take drugs and brag, thank you for the context
I'd rather listen to Nas, Rakim, Lupe Fiasco, Kendrick Lamar and stuff more complex
Lil Pump is as talented as an orange
Does he even speak a real language? Because everything sounds Foreign
Ice Cube, Jay-Z, Nas, Biggie, Big Pun, Eminem, Tupac, Bone Thugs N Harmony were the best people
Lil Pump, Young Thug, Soulja Boy, and most these new rappers make me jealous of deaf people
At least if I was deaf I wouldn't have to hear what they say
But they mumble their words so I can't make it out anyway
a dictionary of words, and these fools use the same 10 words in every song
These days rappers are all the same, there's no edgy one
I'm 25, but grew up on Jadakiss, Fabolous, 50 Cent, Game, and Wu Tang
So forgive me for not caring about these drug addicted bragging rappers with their new slang
Holding on to 80's 90's and early two thousands Hip-Hop so I won't lose touch
But I can't believe half the nonsense I'm hearing from this new stuff
When these rappers come on you have to Mute it
The best new rappers, are Cole, Kendrick, Nino Bless, Locksmith and Joyner Lucas
Sometimes holding on is good, but you need to know when to remove the hand
Which is now, because I'm going to go insane the next time I hear Gucci Gang

2018 - Year of Entrepreneurship in Direct Selling
To recognize the truth as truth,
live the opposites,
To feel everything in every way,
and be nothing, in the end,
but the understanding of everything.
2018 - What to do more in Direct Selling
[...] more female business leaders
more women
to start their own businesses;
more women in laboratories
making new discoveries
that overturn the myth
that science and mathematics are man's things. "
When a person
- especially a woman -
stands on the undertaking
is free, as in every pinnacle,
is alone
as in all the pinnacles,
is united to heaven,
to which it is never united,
as in all the pinnacles.
2018 – Ano do empreendedorismo na Venda Direta
Reconhecer a verdade como verdade,
viver os contrários,
sentir tudo de todas as maneiras,
e não ser nada, no fim,
senão o entendimento de tudo.
2018 – Que se empreenda mais em Venda Direta
[...] mais líderes mulheres nas empresas
mais mulheres
que criem suas próprias empresas;
mais mulheres nos laboratórios
fazendo novas descobertas
que derrubem o mito
de que a ciência e a matemática são coisas de homem”.
Quando uma pessoa
– especialmente uma mulher –
se ergue sobre o empreender
está livre, como em todos os píncaros,
está só,
como em todos os píncaros,
está unida ao céu,
a que nunca está unida,
como em todos os píncaros.

Everyone who ever kicked me while I was down, is about to get tortured now
Ice Cube never melted, so why Would I be watered down?
Sorry but I can't look at Adele as anything but a stalker now
"I called you a thousand times" well if a girl calls me more than 3 times with no reply, I'm getting a restraining order out
And i'm going into hiding like Bin Laden
Being out of my mind has only put me in problems
There isn't enough paper for me to fill, my pens starving
Always bet on me to overcome the obstacles, use all your poker chips
If I've ever offended you, then I'm not sorry, just get over it
I don't need a chaser for my liquor, but I'll chase her and lick her
"Oh my god, Alex that was so Inappropriate"
I'm taking a break from writing about depression, and trying to win over chicks
Tired of people saying "You shouldn't have said this, or done that"
I'd sacrifice the whole world just to bring Big Pun back
Or I'd swap Future's whole career, just for Tupac to come back and spit one rap
Saw drugs destroy my whole family, So I've never touched them
Drugs do nothing, but cause destruction
So I'm sick of rappers bragging about taking percocets
But If rappers stopped talking about Drugs, Hip-Hop would hardly have any verses left
Your dream girl wants to marry me, and we haven't even flirted yet
I'm joking, Just wanted to come up with a typical ignorant Rap line
I'm just having fun with these rhymes
I just wrote a whole poem that has no real meaning
So people will call it trash, Yet they'll dance to Mask off
Well I've got my mask on when I write, so Back off
I'm Jason Voorhees with ink, they wrote me off, that's something I laughed off
Got told I'd be dead by twenty one
I'm 25 now, and this was just a fun poem, I have plenty more to come
Don't blame me, My pens crazy
By reading this, they can tell my idol is Slim Shady
Inspired by Nas, Rakim, Tupac, And Ice Cube
They'll think I'm crazy for writing this, but I'm actually a nice Dude

This is my ode to the feces of this site. I write, compose, think, delve, soulsearch and what do I get???????????????? Poems too long, poems that won't load, deleted, not copied not updated, nonsubmittal due to some site circumstance. I am not that kind of P O E TTTTTTTTTT who filters in a nutshell, follows the rank rules and love laments their own sillystrengths nas to how people shoud write. Write to yr strength and discount the masses, of which I am not associated.. I posted a pretty good poem but every time I tried to add/subtract whatever, It was erased or timed out. Maybe that's a message Don't have a site that is dysfunctional. I have list more words on this site that I have been able to post. Not that means anything since poetry is a dead art form. Nobody reads, but everybody writes. Rejections outside a site that is not incestual brings dreary defeat. Been there bought that. Fix your site so I can take my time composing and not have to hurry so I don't run too long or out of thought time. Here I f-ing go again. Rewrite rewrite rewrite rewrite againagainagainagain because of yr time oput or something stupid. I am about done with this site. Hey, don't worry,,,,,,, be happy!

"I've seen a dead bird flying through a broken sky, wish I could flap wings and fly away"
Hip hop artist Nas from his song " You're the Man"
Inspired this write:
Police plant evidence,
to get their man.
because they can.
"The Man" with the iron pimp slap,
fifteen to life in one back hand.
