[Intro: Nas]
Regeneration
Composer; DJ Premier
Maestro; Sir Nas
Yeah
Nas in the building
Premier's in the building
Yeah
This is how we redefine, the music
Let's go

[Verse: Nas]
Yeah, ya'll know I gets it on, sip on Dom
Clear the throat, wet the palate
Compose a ballet, then expose a rare talent
The kick drum will have you numb, the snare's valid
That's how Premier styles it
Yeah ya'll know he gets it on, that's a given
Every song I've written, make the sky clear blue
Like the beginning scenes of The Simpsons
Dominions of the British Empire
We'll listen to Bach, with tea and biscuits
Preem revisits, songs centuries old
Hip-Hop; symphony's orchestras out cold with it
You know the flow's administered
By the deputy, rhyme prime-minister
Sir Nas, I'm certified
Please be seated and your shirt and tie, dresses on
Arrive early, when the curtains rise, bet it's on
A certain etiquette involved with this
Unlike any other music genre is, bring the drama in

DJ Premier

Christopher Edward Martin (born March 21, 1966), better known by his stage name DJ Premier (also known as Preemo or Preem for short), is a record producer and DJ. He produced six albums as the instrumental half of the hip-hop duo Gang Starr, along with emcee Guru. DJ Premier has been labeled by many as arguably the greatest producer in hip-hop history.

Born in Houston and raised in Prairie View, Texas, he has lived in Brooklyn, New York, for much of his professional career. Despite his Southern roots, Premier became synonymous with intricate sampling and the boom-bap sounds of East Coast hip-hop in the 1990s. He has worked with some of the biggest names in hip-hop such as Biggie, Jay-Z, Nas, Snoop Dogg, Scarface, Common, Drake, Dr. Dre, and Kanye West among others. He has also worked with R&B and pop artists such as Christina Aguilera, D'Angelo, and Miguel. DJ Premier also joined another group, forming PRhyme with Royce da 5'9".
