In the Scrolls - Large Professor, G Wiz

For 1994, a new chapter was added

The rap world became reborn through Illmatic

Sun, moon, and stars align and our minds

Were taken for one hell of a wild ride

Queensbridge, where stars are born

On the map Marley Marl put me on

I was able to return the favor for his neighbor

Chronicles of bullets caught up in chambers

Blessed chicks, fresh kicks, new cars

Now being re-manifested through Nas

40-side poet supreme, like water flowing through a ravine

The chosen one who will redeem

The Q-borough, the D’s in the blue Camaro

Through the railroad tracks these tunes burrow

New paths for the dudes on the aves

Salute that man anytime you move past

Nobody does it better than Nas

Akinyele at the door

Like «Come on nigga, what you waiting for»

I got a meeting, said I’m Clark Kent and Warner Brothers

Straight out of Q-B, in train seven train

On the other side of the lane my nigga could reign

Extra P holding the heat out in Colden

Then my nigga Nas spit the pain the world noticed

But still shit was trill though

On the train spitting the turkey and cheese Hiro, my nigga Bo

But you, y’all never heard Gwen and Phil

The best rap I’ve ever heard Nas say for real

Although he lost it on the train before he got a deal

If any rapper heard it today, yo, had to kneel

It’s like that, my nigga kept y’all niggas on your toes

Hooks, styles and flows, and killer shows

Then it was the birth of money, hoes, and clothes

It’s Illmatic, it was written in the scrolls
