Cut the fat from the meat/Extract the weak, bon appetit/No bacon, brothers is swine/It’s so hard to trust ’em ’cause my hustle is mine
from Adam and Eve lyrics by Nas
Nas gets biblical and flips through the pages of his genesis. He’s telling stories of his upbringing and reminding himself that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. He’s a product of his environment, but it was his ability to rise above while never forgetting that has made all the difference. Knowledge is power and he’s accrued a wealth of it by keeping his eyes and ears open.
