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 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.
