@1Blaugrana My take is that he used to get so high-from weed-that he had hallucinations (simply put).
I'm sure there are others who will make it deeper than that. In the last line of the song Nas thanks GOD for his maturity... and that's what I've based my response on.

"vision my own skeleton swimming in eternal fire" that is some really deep shit. nobody does it like this anymore. Nas = one of the G.O.A.T

I once said - if I ever make a record, I'll take a check and put something away for a rainy day.. But look at me now ten years deep, since the project bench wit crack in my sock sleep...I never asked to be top of raps elite, just a ghetto child tryin'a learn the traps of the street....but look at me now

@1Blaugrana its poetry, it means whatever your perception makes it out to me
Nas meant it in his own way(idk what it is)
To me, I can relate it to how everyone in america is like a dead bird flyin through a broken sky
We're all zombies within a life with no true meaning(dead)
It can mean whatever your perception makes it out to be, thats an element of poetry

If he is my inspiree, than I die trying to one day posess the skills he has, and express words through music like he does. I may eventually find the inner freestyle/writter in me, but I will never be as good as the king, NAS
The guy is simply a professor in the genre. A wordsmith in the genre. Not many artists in the genre have invented lines like "I saw a dead bird flyin through a broken sky." And not many emcees have Wikiquote page. His words as a 21 years old, are still lessons to some of us that are 30 years old today.
Just one among my other Africans here paying tribute to our black brother.
