Verse:
            G#m                 E           D#
Seemed like yesterday, I was a baby on the street
         G#m              E             D#
I took a holiday, I was steppin to the beat
         G#m                  E          D#
I had to pay my rent, on the lower east side
           G#m                     E             D#
I threw my tag around, let B-boys take me for a ride
          G#m                     E            D#
I started writing songs, I kinda got into the groove
              G#m            E            D#
They tried to criticize, my every single move
           G#m              E               D#
But then I realized, I had nothing left to lose
           G#m                    E          D#
It took me by surprise, when I became the news

Chorus:
      E
I was fearless, like a renegade
        B               G#m
I had a feeling, that I canʼt explain
         E
I didnʼt listen, to what people said
B              G#m
I came I saw I conquered
      E
I was constant, as a northern star
        B     G#m
I had a fire, burning in my heart
        E
I never gave up, fighting in the dark
B              G#m
I came I saw I conquered
C#m   G#m
oooh I came I saw I conquered
C#m   G#m
oooh I came I saw I conquered

Verse:
    G#m                          E               D#
I expressed myself, came like a virgin down the aisle
           G#m               E              D#
Exposed my naked ass, and I did it with a smile
            G#m                    E                D#
And when it came to sex, I knew I walked the borderline
            G#m                    E                   D#
And when I struck a pose, all the gay boys lost their mind
       G#m                       E               D#
I justified my love, I made you say your little prayer
       G#m                    E              D#
Had me crucified, you know I had to take it there
         G#m                         E             D#
I opened up my heart, I learned the power of good-bye
        G#m            E              D#
I saw a ray of light, music saved my life

Chorus:
      E
I was fearless, like a renegade
        B               G#m
I had a feeling, that I canʼt explain
         E
I didnʼt listen, to what people said
B              G#m
I came I saw I conquered
      E
I was constant, as a northern star
        B     G#m
I had a fire, burning in my heart
        E
I never gave up, fighting in the dark
B              G#m
I came I saw I conquered
C#m   G#m
oooh I came I saw I conquered
C#m   G#m
oooh I came I saw I conquered

Verse:
     G#m         E
In 1994, I came through the door
                     G#m
With that born beats versus scratches
         E
Verbally murdered rappers
G#m                             E
 My momʼs from the Carolinaʼs, pops from Natchez
                  G#m
And QBʼs where I started flowing
                     E
But I was scared the cops was gonna kick my apartment door in
G#m                    E
 Had a baby girl by a crazy girl then I got married
     G#m                           E
Heavily accosted, that ended in a bad divorce
                                   G#m
And I know how to pick ʼem, donʼt I?
             E
Never gave a fuck about public pressure
                        G#m
Or the ridicule of two
Now whoʼs the fool?
      E                            G#m
And I ainʼt never been happier, no lie
             E
Iʼm just you humble servant, Iʼm Nas
G#m                  E
 If yʼall burn down Ferguson Iʼmma riot
   G#m                            E
My life cannot be compared to anybody
                  G#m
Any trappers, any rappers
                 E
Any politicians, beauticians, a musician
G#m
Anybody, so Iʼm anybodies
E
Many coffins, heads or tails
G#m
Penny tosses, we either dead or in jail
    E
Not many options on the block I came from
G#m            E                      G#m
 And I turned to a rap messiah, spit rapid fire
      E
And I roll right back to the block I came from

Chorus:
      E
I was fearless, like a renegade
        B               G#m
I had a feeling, that I canʼt explain
         E
I didnʼt listen, to what people said
B              G#m
I came I saw I conquered
      E
I was constant, as a northern star
        B     G#m
I had a fire, burning in my heart
        E
I never gave up, fighting in the dark
B              G#m
I came I saw I conquered
C#m   G#m
oooh I came I saw I conquered
C#m   G#m
oooh I came I saw I conquered
