Intro 1
(B minor) (D major) (E minor) (C sharp minor)
(B minor) (D major) (E minor) (C sharp minor)
(B minor) Check me (D major) out y'all
(E minor) Nasty (C sharp minor) Nas in your area
(B minor) About to (D major) cause mass hysteria (E minor) (C sharp minor)
Verse 1
(B minor) Before a blunt, I take out (D major) my fronts
Then I start (E minor) to front, matter of fact,
(C sharp minor) I be on a manhunt
(B minor) You couldn't catch me in the (D major) streets
without ton of reefer
(E minor) That's like Malcolm X
(C sharp minor) catching the Jungle Fever
(B minor) King poetic, too much (D major) flavor, I'm major
Atlanta (E minor) ain't Brave-r,
pull a (C sharp minor) number like a pager
(B minor) 'Cause I'm a ace when I (D major) face the bass
40 (E minor) side is the place that is (C sharp minor) giving me grace
Now wait, (E minor) another dose
and you (B minor) might be dead
And (E minor) I'm a Nike head,
I wear chains (D major) that excite the feds
(E minor) And ain't a damn thing (B minor) gonna change
I'm (E minor) a performer strange,
so the mic (D major) warmer was born to gain
(B minor) Nas, why did you (D major) do it?
You know you got the (E minor) mad fat fluid
when you (C sharp minor) rhyme, it's halftime

Chorus 1
(B minor) (D major) (E minor) (C sharp minor) It's halftime
(B minor) (D major) (E minor) (C sharp minor) Ayo, it's halftime
(B minor) (D major) (E minor) (C sharp minor) It's halftime
(B minor) (D major) (E minor) (C sharp minor)
Verse 2
It's (B minor) like that, you know it's (D major) like that
I got it (E minor) hemmed,
now you never get the (C sharp minor) mic back
When I a (B minor) ttack,
ain't an army that could (D major) strike back
So I re (E minor) act never calmly on a (C sharp minor) hype track
(B minor) I set it off with my (D major) own rhyme
'Cause I'm as (E minor) ill as a convict
who (C sharp minor) kills for phone time
I'm (B minor) max like cassettes, I (D major) flex like sex
In your (E minor) stereo sets, Nas'll (C sharp minor) Nas'll catch wreck
I used to (B minor) hustle, now all I (D major) do is relax and strive
(E minor) When I was young,
I was a (C sharp minor) fan of the Jackson 5
(B minor) I drop jewels, wear (D major) jewels,
hope to never run it
(E minor) With more kicks than a (C sharp minor) baby
in a mother's stomach
(B minor) Nasty Nas has to (D major) rise 'cause I'm wise
This (E minor) is exercise 'til the (C sharp minor) microphone dies
(B minor) Back in '83, I was an (D major) MC sparking
But (E minor) I was too scared
to grab the (C sharp minor) mic's in the parks
And (E minor) kick my little raps
'cause I (B minor) thought niggas wouldn't under (E minor) stand
And now in every (D major) jam, I'm the fucking man
(E minor) I rap in front of more ni (B minor) ggas
than in the slave (E minor) ships
I used to watch CHiPs, (D major) now I load Glock clips
(B minor) I got to have it, I (D major) miss Mr. Magic
Versatile, (E minor) my style (C sharp minor) switches like a faggot
But (B minor) not bisexual, (D major) I'm an intellectual
Of (E minor) rap, I'm a professional
and (C sharp minor) that's no question, yo
(B minor) These are the lyrics of the (D major) man,
you can't near it, under (E minor) stand
'Cause in the streets,
I'm well (C sharp minor) known like the number man
(B minor) Am I in place with the (D major) bass and format?
Ex (E minor) plore rap and tell me (C sharp minor) Nas ain't all that
And (B minor) next time I rhyme,
I be (D major) foul whenever I freestyle (E minor)
I see trial, (C sharp minor) niggas say I'm wild
(B minor) I hate a rhyme (D major) biter's rhyme
Stay (E minor) tuned, Nas soon,
the real (C sharp minor) rap comes at halftime
Chorus 2
(E minor) (B minor) (E minor) (D major) It's halftime
(E minor) (B minor) (E minor) (D major) Check it, it's halftime
(B minor) (D major) (E minor) (C sharp minor) It's halftime
(B minor) (D major) (E minor) (C sharp minor)
Verse 3
(B minor) I got it going on, even flip a morning song
(E minor) Every afternoon, I kick half (C sharp minor) the tune
(B minor) And in the darkness, I'm heartless
when the narcs (E minor) hit
Word to Marcus Garvey, I hardly sparked it
(B minor) 'Cause when I blast the herb, that's my word
I be (E minor) slaying 'em fast,
doing this, that in the third
But (B minor) chill, pass to Andre and let's slay
I bag (E minor) bitches up at John Jay (C sharp minor)
and hit a matinee
(B minor) Putting hits on 5- (D major) 0
'Cause when it's my time (E minor) to go,
I wait for (C sharp minor) God wit the fo-fo
(B minor) And biters can't come (D major) near
And yo, go to hell (E minor)
to the foul cop (C sharp minor) shot Garcia
I (B minor) won't plant seeds,
don't need an (D major) extra mouth I can't feed
(E minor) That's extra Phillie change,
(C sharp minor) more cash for damp weed
(B minor) This goes out to Man (D major) hattan
the Island of Staten (E minor)
Brooklyn and Queens (C sharp minor) is living fat
And the (B minor) Boogie Down,
enough (D major) props, enough clout
(E minor) Ill will, rest in (C sharp minor) peace, yo, I'm out
Chorus 3
(E minor) (B minor) (E minor) (D major) It's still halftime
(E minor) (B minor) (E minor) (D major) You know it's halftime
(E minor) (B minor) (E minor) (E minor) (D major) It's halftime
(E minor) (B minor) (E minor) (D major) Halftime
