Nas Vs Eminem, Who Is Lyrical Better? by vikkytan49(m): 11:59pm On Jan 18, 2016 |
I,ve always been wondering who is the better lyrist between this two, that's why I,ve came up with their lyrics from each track,( nas shine on and Eminem gut over fear), I want u guys to judge based on their lyrics.. Eminem: got over fear Feels like a close, it's coming to Fvck am I gonna do? It's too late to start over This is the only thing I, thing I know Sometimes I feel like all I ever do is Find different ways to word the same, old song Ever since I came along From the day the song called ''Hi! My Name Is'' dropped Started thinking my name was fault 'Cause anytime things went wrong I was the one who they would blame it on The media made me the equivalent of a modern-day Genghis Khan Tried to argue it was only entertainment, dawg Gangsta? Naw, courageous balls Had to change my style, they said I'm way too soft And I sound like AZ and Nas, out came the claws And the fangs been out since then But up until the instant that I've been against it It was ingrained in me that I wouldn't amount to a shitstain I thought No wonder I had to unlearn everything my brain was taught Do I really belong in this game? I pondered I just wanna play my part, should I make waves or not? So back and forth in my brain the tug of war wages on And I don't wanna seem ungrateful or disrespect the artform I was raised upon But sometimes you gotta take a loss And have people rub it in your face before you get made pissed off And keep pluggin', it's your only outlet And your only outfit so you know they gonna talk about it Better find a way to counter it quick and make it, ah Feel like I've already said this a kabillion eighty times How many times can I say the same thing different ways that rhyme? What I really wanna say is, is there anyone else that can relate to my story? Bet you feel the same way I felt when I was in the same place you are I was afraid to Make a single sound Afraid I will never find a way out, out, out Afraid I never before I didn't wanna go another round An angry man's power will shut you up Trip wires fill this house with tip-toe love Run out of excuses with every word So here I am and I will not run Guts over fear, (The time is here) Guts over fear, (I shall not tear) For all the times I let you push me around And let you keep me down (Now I got) Guts over fear, guts over fear Feels like a close, it's coming to Fvck am I gonna do? It's too late to start over This is the only thing I, thing I know I know what it was like, I was there once, single parents Hate your appearance, did you struggle to find your place in this world? And the pain spawns all the anger on But it wasn't until I put the pain in songs learned who to aim it on That I made a spark, started to spit hard as shit Learned how to harness it while the reins were off And there was a lot of bizarre shit, but the crazy part Was soon as I stopped saying "I gave a Bleep" Haters started to appreciate my art And it just breaks my heart to look at all the pain I've caused But what am I gonna do when the rage is gone? And the lights go out in the trailer park? And the window that was closing and there's nowhere else I can go with flows in And I'm frozen cause there's no more emotion for me to pull from Just a bunch of playful songs that I made for fun So to the break of dawn here I go recycling the same, old song But I'd rather make "Not Afraid 2" than making another mothafuckin' "We Made You" uh Now I don't wanna seem indulgent when I discuss my lows and my highs My demise and my uprise, pray to God I just opened enough eyes later on Gave you the supplies and the tools to hopefully use it to make you strong And enough to lift yourself up when you feel like I felt 'Cause I can't explain to y'all how dang exhausted my legs felt Just having to balance my damn self But on eggshells I was made to walk But thank you, ma, 'cause that gave me the Strength to cause Shady-mania, so many empty that stadium At least I made it out of that house and a found a place in this world when the day was done So this is for every kid who all's they ever did was dreamt that one day just getting accepted I represent him or her, anyone similar, you are the reason that I made this song Everything you're scared to say don't be afraid to say no more From this day on forward, just let them a-holes talk Take it with a grain of salt and eat their fucking faces off The legend of the angry blonde lives on through you when I'm gone And to think I was gone I was afraid to Make a single sound Afraid I will never find a way out, out, out Afraid I never before I didn't wanna go another round An angry man's power will shut you up Trip wires fill this house with tip-toe love Run out of excuses with every word So here I am and I will not run Guts over fear, (The time is here) Guts over fear, (I shall not tear) For all the times I let you push me around And let you keep me down (Now I got) Guts over fear, guts over nas: shine on. [Intro: Nas] They wanna shine on 'em Shine on 'em [x7] Yeah [Verse 1: Nas] They dug me out the soil in the Mines of the Motherland Now I'm misplaced, one hand to another hand Illegal smugglin', people strugglin' Wish they could just throw me back in the mud again Yeah, guess that's how we got here Slave Trade then the Diamond Trade Every child's afraid When his Mother and Father get sprayed Forced in the Army, young killer Brigade Gets a new name and then he give his nose glue Til' his mind can't take what he's gon' through Lookin' in that dirt for that ice so blue Then The Royal Family, the ice goes to And this thing has to change, feelin' half-ashamed As I rap with my Platinum chain When you shop for a gift for me You think about the misery? The same way we made Apartheid History We can do the same thing to the conflict ice But everybody wanna shine, right? [HooK: Nas] Everybody wants Heaven but nobody wants dead Everybody wants Diamonds without the Bloodshed Everybody wants Heaven but nobody wants dead Everybody wants Diamonds without the Bloodshed They wanna Shine on 'em Shine on 'em [x7] [Verse 2: Nas] My VVS glimmers on my chest 200-thou-encrusted watch on my wrist I wonder how people starve to death When God bless the land that lacks the harvest The stone's equality, but they homes are poverty And the whole world ignores the robbery Bought my girl pretty rocks when she's mad at me Tear-drop shaped, uh, perfect Clarity It shocks, so many are killed annually 'Cause of greed, lust, and pure Vanity Stop talkin' and do somethin' about it Every Holiday Season, Jewelry stores crowded Kids snatched from their homes, Mutilated alive Husbands separated from wives, keep a Jesus piece to be fly But back in the day there was a time when they called us shine [HooK: Nas] Everybody wants Heaven but nobody wants dead Everybody wants Diamonds without the Bloodshed Everybody wants Heaven but nobody wants dead Everybody wants Diamonds without the Bloodshed They wanna shine on 'em Shine on 'em [x7] . |
