Vain Songs:

Song Name	Comments & Submitter Name
"Nas Is Coming"	An example of lyrics is: Yeah yeah yo Nas it's like this man. ("Nas is coming..") And the title line is repeated much throughout. The only album I can find on which it appears is "Nas Is Coming, Album Version". Possibly performed live. It didn't get on his "Greatest Hits" album, so maybe it isn't particularly popular. - Yvonne Sindri
