Metro Boomin & Nas unveil the “Nas Morales” track Across The Spider-Verse

Metro Boomin, Nas unveil the Across The Spider-Verse soundtrack – “Nas Morales” off the new project, Listen, stream, read the lyrics, buy the song produced by Metro Boomin, MIKE DEAN & Prince 85.

Metro Boomin season is once again in full effect thanks to the Atlanta-based producer’s work on the Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse soundtrack. It’s an undeniably sad time of year for the creative as he mourns the one-year anniversary of his mother’s shocking and untimely death. He shared a heartfelt tribute to her on social media to commemorate the occasion but has otherwise been pouring his heart and soul into various projects while working through his grief.

The animated film’s soundtrack finds Metro linking up with some of the industry’s finest, including 21 Savage, 2 Chainz, and Offset. While many titles on the 13-track effort are joint ones, the closing song, “Nas Morales” finds Nas operating solo over an infectious beat from the Savage Mode hitmaker. His lyrics include various spider references, such as “Shoot a web, glidin’ through the sky, through the air / Dancin’ through the buildings, Fred Astaire, bunch of skyscrapers everywhere” on the chorus.

Aside from the highly anticipated Spider-Man soundtrack, Metro has also confirmed that he and Canadian singer NAV have more heat on the way. They’re planning on dropping Perfect Timing 2 in the future, and the 29-year-old has also shared that he’s been hard at work on some serious heat with Future. Most recently, he and Hendrix teamed up for “All The Way Live” from this weekend’s release.

Lyrics

[Chorus: Nas]
Shoot a web, glidin’ through the sky, through the air
Dancin’ through the buildings, Fred Astaire, bunch of skyscrapers everywhere
I’m just flexin’ my ability, sick and tired of humility
Can’t believe that they would hate on me
For being me, I face a penalty
They expect so much from me, it sucks for me
Lucky me, I’m just flyin’ through the sky sucker-free
I’m just up above the city streets, climbin’ walls at a different speed
Miles Morales, miles-per-hours
Take a dive, surf the towers
Late at night, scary hours
Superpowers, ‘preciate the flowers
Shoot a web, glidin’ through the sky, through the air
Dancin’ through the buildings, Fred Astaire, bunch of skyscrapers everywhere

[Verse: Nas]
Nobody looks up no more, so it’s easy to slide through, they can’t tell if the sky’s blue
True, nobody looks up no more (Woo), I’m confused why they choose not to see it the way I do
I move with my mind different, nonsense is not stickin’
Rhymes hittin’, knowledge, wisdom, Nas different
Spidey-senses tinglin’, swingin’ from New England out to England (Woo)
Flips and somersaults like the brothers from Ringling
Jump from a hundred feet and land on my feet, yeah
Timbs’ll make the cipher complete, a sight to see, ow
New Yorkin’ too often (Yeah, woo), fools rushin’, we walkin’, I’m done talkin’

[Outro: Nas]
(Nobody looks up no more)
(Nobody looks up no more)
