Anxiety of Influence

Wondering if there is some anxiety of influence going on here with these lyrics similarities:

Nas: "Swimmin' in women like a lifeguard..."
From "Live at the Bbq", released May 14, 1991

Biggie: "While I'm swimming in ya women like the breast stroke..."
From "One More Chance" (Remix), released May 9, 1995
