Twenty years in this game, looking seventeen
from Nas (Ft. Mazy) – The Don Lyrics 1 on Rap Genius
After making his debut on Main Source’s “Live At The Barbeque” in 1991, Nas dropped his first single, “Halftime”, in 1992. 1992 + 20 = 2012.
Nas is one of those highly blessed people who don’t age (“lookin' 17”).
Nas then.
Nas now.
Ain’t shit changed.
In addition to Nas' fountain of youth appearance, he could also be implying here that though he’s been in the game for two decades, he’s still as fresh as all of the new guys coming onto the scene.
Nas made a statement similar to this a year earlier on “Rich and black”
