[Bridge]
Get light
Get light with it
Get light
Yo Hit-Boy,✦ hold up, bring it back, yeah
[Chorus]
Get light with it
Day party✦ to midnight✦ with it
Ice wet like a fire hydrant✦ hit it
While the girls double dutch, I double my digits✦
[Verse 2]
ATVs, quads with speed
Doin' wheelies, black Lanvin✦ sneaks
Family✦ first, a holiday feast, I constantly seek
Moments like this is peace to say the least
We used✦ to play ball, when girls watched, we played smoother✦
I had to try to be like Mike, a cool three-point shooter
Couldn't be the loser,✦ takin'✦ Gatorade from the cooler✦
Summer,✦ fall, winter,✦ New York girls smokin'✦ hookah✦
Grown ladies✦ with Mercedes Benz keys and chimneys✦
Friendly as little kids on ten-speeds
Makes✦ me want to have another✦ seed, I'm simply✦
Gettin'✦ light on the track, Ripley's✦
Believe✦ it or not, I'm still the cream of the crop
I was just the tender✦ age of eighteen on the charts
Wasn't even✦ dreamin' this far, believe✦ who you are
The sun doesn't even✦ know it's a star
[Chorus]
Get light with it
Day party✦ to midnight✦ with it
Ice wet like a fire hydrant✦ hit it
While the girls double dutch, I double my digits✦
Dice game pop, peace to my hustlin' niggas
New York, New York
All sorts of bosses✦ who walk the walk
Look how long the blocks is, ruthless
Long range they shoot shit
[Outro]
And party✦ and bullshit✦
And party✦ and bullshit✦
And party✦ and bullshit✦
And party✦ and party✦
And party✦ and bullshit✦
And party✦ and bullshit✦
And party✦ and bullshit✦
And party✦ and party✦

Nas balances high-density internal rhyme patterns with a breezy, conversational cadence that intentionally sacrifices complex lyrical abstraction for a polished, rhythmic aesthetic suitable for the track's party-oriented theme.

Rhyme Architecture: The verse utilizes a complex AAAA/BBBB internal structure with strong multisyllabic anchors, relying heavily on slant rhymes and sustained vowel sounds to maintain the flow across line breaks.
Verified Doubles & Entendres

"Gettin' light on the track, Ripley's / Believe it or not"

① A reference to the 'Ripley's Believe It or Not' franchise, implying his continued success is extraordinary.② A literal description of his nimble movement on the musical 'track' or beat.

"I double my digits"

① Increasing his wealth or financial portfolio.② A rhythmic parallel to the 'double dutch' activity mentioned in the previous clause.

Exceptional technical mastery of internal rhyme density

Consistent, effortless-sounding flow that serves the track's mood

Effective use of multis to link disparate thematic imagery

Lacks the high-concept metaphorical density typical of Nas's elite lyrical work

Occasional reliance on simpler rhyme patterns to maintain tempo

Punchlines function more as rhythmic punctuation than intellectual payoffs
