I'm On
DJ Khaled Feat. Nas Lyrics

The season has returned
The time has come for DJ Khaled and Nas to release new music

We global now, we global
DJ Khaled and Nas are now known and celebrated worldwide

We international now, international
Their fame and influence reach beyond borders

Money fall out the sky when I speak
Nas commands attention and wealth through his words and music

Got a valet, can't leave mine out in these streets
Nas has a high net worth and a personal driver to keep his luxury vehicles safe

Can't carpool, the crew is too deep
Nas travels with a large group of people, making it difficult to share a car with others

Why tuck it all in? The jewels are too sweet
Nas proudly displays his expensive jewelry and sees no reason to hide it

You should ball if you could
Nas encourages others to live lavishly if they have the means

I be diggin' in my pockets, it ain't trickin' if you got it
Nas doesn't hesitate to spend money and believes it's not wasteful if you can afford it

And since a nigga from the projects
Nas comes from humble beginnings and worked hard to achieve success

Champagne out of a can would be the fly shit
Nas enjoys luxury goods, and even canned champagne would be impressive to him

And I'm a history maker, hood motivational speaker
Nas sees himself as a role model for those who come from similar backgrounds as him

Rap Led Zeppelin, best-dressed list
Nas compares himself to the legendary rock band Led Zeppelin, and is known for his fashion sense

Show you how to bubble off of large investments
Nas can teach others how to make a lot of money through smart investing

Ya heard me, and this journey, I'm the journalist
Nas sees himself as a storyteller and reporter of his own experiences

Line around the block to hear the words of the herbalist
Nas has a large and devoted fanbase, eagerly awaiting his new music

Send ya girl to the Dominicans to perm her shit
Nas has enough money to send his partner to a high-end hair salon for a perm

Tell her tonight, we gonna see Nas return to his murder shit
Nas is known for his sharp lyricism and will deliver another unforgettable performance

It's still Nasty, raw in the flesh
Nas's style and talent are still authentic and impressive

God's Son, never gone, never left
Nas is still relevant and respected in the music industry

King, I played every card in the deck
Nas has experienced all the highs and lows of fame and still reigns as a king in hip-hop

The whole world waitin' for what I'ma do next
Nas has a loyal fanbase, eagerly anticipating his future work

And y'all already know where I came from
Nas's fans are familiar with his upbringing and beginnings in Queensbridge

Queensbridge repper since day one
Nas has always represented his hometown of Queensbridge

Nigga, I'm on! (Come on!)
Nas is confident and successful

Out of the shadows, into the light
Nas has overcome obstacles and is now in a position of power

I have the power to take back what's mine
Nas has regained control of his life and career

(Can't hide, can't hide)
Nas can no longer be ignored or underestimated

We have the power
Those who were once overlooked now have the ability to make great change

(Alive, it's so fine to be alive)
Being alive and having power is a beautiful thing

I'm God's hit man, Chopard wristband
Nas has been blessed with great talent and material wealth

New York crown jewel, no if-and's, top five
Nas is a top rapper from New York and ranks highly among his peers

I'm the one, two, three, four and the fifth man
Nas is not afraid of competition and sees himself as one of the best rappers in the game

Smoke a hookah in Istanbul, I'm quicksand
Nas enjoys traveling the world and experiencing new things

I'm five mics, five points of light
Nas has received the highest rating in hip-hop magazine The Source, and is known for his exceptional talent and intelligence

Hit the stage like a meteorite
Nas's performances are explosive and unforgettable

They wanna all hear Ether tonight, but we ain't beefin' tonight
Nas's iconic diss track Ether is still highly requested by fans, but he has no intention of starting any drama

That's history, so now when you mention me
Nas has moved past old feuds and wants to be recognized for his current work

Say I'm a mystery like six degrees
Nas is still a complex and intriguing figure in hip-hop

Or the seven hills of Sicily, I need a vasectomy
Nas has had enough children and is ready for permanent birth control

They resurrected me but nothin' is left for me
Nas has been in the game for a long time and has little left to prove or gain

Just when you thought you'd seen the best of me
Nas still has amazing work to release and is not done impressing his fans

I take it a notch higher, yeah
Nas will always strive for greatness in his music and career

Sip more wine than a sommelier
Nas enjoys the finer things in life, including expensive wine

Get around town in a private Lear
Nas can afford to travel via private jet

And by sun down, I'm up out of here
Nas's wealth allows him to travel quickly and efficiently

Power, paper, palace is so high
Nas has achieved great financial and material success

Lookin' over skyscrapers, wildin' out in Dubai
Nas enjoys traveling and experiencing the world's tallest buildings and most luxurious cities

Do I look like I never seen the better things?
Nas has experienced wealth and luxury for a long time

Emerald ring, I chase cheddar mean
Nas likes expensive jewelry and seeks to make more and more money

Pockets on swole since eighteen years old
Nas has been wealthy since he was young

Gettin' my dough, cigars are hand-rolled
Nas enjoys high-quality cigars and can afford to purchase them

From Guantanamo, Gallardos, the car shows
Nas has a collection of expensive cars and enjoys attending car shows

The Narcos, Gestapos, Optimos
Nas references the drug trade and law enforcement, likely for the sake of wordplay rather than literal meaning

Cause I love the dough more than you know
Nas values wealth and success above all else

Still ain't reached the pinnacle
Nas still has room for growth and has not yet achieved all he wants to in his career

Braveheart general since nine-four
Nas has always been a bold and fearless force in hip-hop

Got the belt to show, certified classic
Nas has achieved many honors and accolades for his music

Nine-six, Street Dreams was blastin'
Nas's album Street Dreams was popular in 1996

And no way they wanna hire assassins
Nas knows his status is too high for anyone to want to harm him

They still harassin', I'm so platinum, it's natural
Nas is so successful that people are jealous and try to tear him down, but this only affirms his success

And nigga is my acronym, lights, camera, actionin'
Nas uses the word 'nigga' as a term of empowerment, signaling his confidence and talent

Nigga, I'm on!
Nas is still successful and respected in the hip-hop industry

I'm on!
Nas feels confident and powerful
