Am F E
Seemed like yesterday, I was a baby on the street
Am F E
I took a holiday, I was steppin to the beat
Am F E
I had to pay my rent, on the lower east side
Am F E
I threw my tag around, let B-boys take me for a ride
Am F E
I started writing songs, I kinda got into the groove
Am F E
They tried to criticize, my every single move
Am F E
But then I realized, I had nothing left to lose
Am F E
It took me by surprise, when I became the news
F
I was fearless, like a renegade
C Am
I had a feeling, that I can't explain
F
I didn't listen, to what people said
C Am
I came I saw I conquered
F
I was constant, as a northern star
C Am
I had a fire, burning in my heart
F
I never gave up, fighting in the dark
C Am
I came I saw I conquered
Dm Am
oooh I came I saw I conquered
Dm Am
oooh I came I saw I conquered
Am F E
I expressed myself, came like a virgin down the aisle
Am F E
Exposed my naked ass, and I did it with a smile
Am F E
And when it came to sex, I knew I walked the borderline
Am F E
And when I struck a pose, all the gay boys lost their mind
Am F E
I justified my love, I made you say your little prayer
Am F E
Had me crucified, you know I had to take it there
Am F E
I opened up my heart, I learned the power of good-bye
Am F E
I saw a ray of light, music saved my life
F
I was fearless, like a renegade
C Am
I had a feeling, that I can't explain
F
I didn't listen, to what people said
C Am
I came I saw I conquered
F
I was constant, as a northern star
C Am
I had a fire, burning in my heart
F
I never gave up, fighting in the dark
C Am
I came I saw I conquered
Dm Am
oooh I came I saw I conquered

Dm Am
oooh I came I saw I conquered
Am F
In 1994, I came through the door
Am
With that born beats versus scratches
F
Verbally murdered rappers
Am F
My mom's from the Carolina's, pops from Natchez
Am
And QB's where I started flowing
F
But I was scared the cops was gonna kick my apartment door in
Am F
Had a baby girl by a crazy girl then I got married
Am F
Heavily accosted, that ended in a bad divorce
Am
And I know how to pick 'em, don't I?
F
Never gave a fuck about public pressure
Am
Or the ridicule of two
Now who's the fool?
F Am
And I ain't never been happier, no lie
F
I'm just you humble servant, I'm Nas
Am F
If y'all burn down Ferguson I'mma riot
Am F
My life cannot be compared to anybody
Am
Any trappers, any rappers
F
Any politicians, beauticians, a musician
Am
Anybody, so I'm anybodies
F
Many coffins, heads or tails
Am
Penny tosses, we either dead or in jail
F
Not many options on the block I came from
Am F Am
And I turned to a rap messiah, spit rapid fire
F
And I roll right back to the block I came from
F
I was fearless, like a renegade
C Am
I had a feeling, that I can't explain
F
I didn't listen, to what people said
C Am
I came I saw I conquered
F
I was constant, as a northern star
C Am
I had a fire, burning in my heart
F
I never gave up, fighting in the dark
C Am
I came I saw I conquered
Dm Am
oooh I came I saw I conquered
Dm Am
oooh I came I saw I conquered
