N.Y. State Of Mind
performed by Nas
(Song)

Long before Illmatic, Nas was living in a N.Y. State of Mind, absorbing the people, places and events that would come to define his lyrics. Witness #TheRide that gave us one of hip-hop’s greatest legends.

"Hennessy x Nas: The Ride (Full)" I lay puzzle as I backtrack to earlier times To the New York state of mind The city never sleeps Full of villains and creeps That's where I learned to do my hustle, had to scuffle with freaks Each block is like a maze, maze And life is parallel to hell, but I must maintain Be prosperous, though we live dangerous It's only right that I was born to use mics Welcome to Nas, y'all! "I tell the stories that need to be told." - Nas What's Your Wild Rabbit? Hennessy Never Stop. Never Settle. Since 1765.
