The Washington's go to wifey, you know how that go |
| [00:12.65][N] |
I'm sayin, that's what this is all about right? |
| [00:15.23] |
Clothes, bankrolls, and hoes yaknowhatI'msayin?Yo then what man, what?? |
| [00:20.20] |
Visualizin the realism of life and actuality |
| [00:22.87] |
Fuck who's the baddest a person's status depends on salary |
| [00:25.62] |
And my mentality is, money orientated |
| [00:28.35] |
I'm destined to live the dream for all my peeps who never made it |
| [00:30.83] |
|
| [00:33.44] |
But somethin must of got in us cause all of us turned to sinners |
| [00:36.20] |
Now some, restin in peace and some are sittin in San Quentin |
| [00:38.88] |
Others such as myself are tryin to carry on tradition |
| [00:41.43] |
Keepin the schwepervesence street ghetto essence inside us |
| [00:44.17] |
Cause it provides us with the proper insight to guide us |
| [00:46.88] |
Even though, we know somehow we all gotta go |
| [00:49.50] |
but as long as we leavin thievin we'll be leavin with some kind of dough |
| [00:52.19] |
so, and to that day we expire and turn to vapors |
| [00:54.75] |
me and my capers-ll be somewhere stackin plenty papers |
| [00:57.75] |
Keepin it real, packin steel, gettin high |
| [01:00.10] |
Cause life's a bitch and then you die |
| [01:03.04] |
Life's a bitch and then you die; that's why we get high |
| [01:05.87] |
Cause you never know when you're gonna go |
| [01:08.23] |
Life's a bitch and then you die; that's why we puff lye |
| [01:11.39] |
Cause you never know when you're gonna go |
| [01:13.62] |
Life's a bitch and then you die; that's why we get high |
| [01:16.64] |
Cause you never know when you're gonna go |
| [01:19.07] |
Life's a bitch and then you die; that's why we puff lye |
| [01:24.82] |
I woke up early on my born day, I'm twenty years of blessing |
| [01:26.89] |
The essence of adolescent leaves my body now I'm fresh in |
| [01:29.48] |
My physical frame is celebrated cause I made it |
| [01:32.33] |
One quarter through life some God-ly like thing created |
| [01:34.89] |
Got rhymes 365 days annual plus some |
| [01:37.80] |
Load up the mic and bust one, cuss while I puffs from |
| [01:40.21] |
my skull cause it's pain in my brain vein money maintain |
| [01:42.85] |
Don't go against the grain simple and plain |
| [01:45.52] |
When I was young at this I used to do my thing hard |
| [01:47.76] |
Robbin foreigners take they wallets they jewels and rip they green cards |
| [01:51.13] |
Dipped to the projects flashin my quick cash |
| [01:53.68] |
and got my first piece of ass smokin blunts with hash |
| [01:56.01] |
Now it's all about cash in abundance, niggaz I used to run with |
| [01:59.52] |
is rich or doin years in the hundreds |
| [02:01.61] |
I switched my motto -- instead of sayin fuck tomorrow |
| [02:04.21] |
That buck that bought a bottle could've struck the lotto |
| [02:06.76] |
Once I stood on the block, loose cracks produce stacks |
| [02:09.43] |
I cooked up and cut small pieces to get my loot back |
| [02:12.34] |
Time is Illmatic keep static like wool fabric |
| [02:14.89] |
Pack a four-matic that crack your whole cabbage |
| [02:17.84] |
Life's a bitch and then you die; that's why we get high |
| [02:20.75] |
Cause you never know when you're gonna go |
| [02:22.93] |
Life's a bitch and then you die; that's why we puff lye |
| [02:26.10] |
Cause you never know when you're gonna go |
| [02:28.27] |
Life's a bitch and then you die; that's why we get high |
| [02:31.57] |
Cause you never know when you're gonna go |
| [02:33.52] |
Life's a bitch and then you die |
