Yo then what man what

Visualizin the realism of life and actuality

**** whos the baddest a persons status depends on salary
And my mentality is money orientated Im destined to live
The dream for all my peeps who never made it cause yeah
We were beginners in the hood as five percenters But somethin
Must of got in us cause all of us turned to sinners Now some
Restin in peace and some are sittin in San Quentin Others such
As myself are tryin to carry on tradition Keepin the schwepervesence
Street ghetto essence inside us Cause it provides us with the
Proper insight to guide us Even though we know somehow we
All gotta go but as long as we leavin thievin well be leavin
With some kind of dough so and to that day we expire and
Turn to vapors me and my capersll be somewhere stackin plenty
Papers Keepin it real packin steel gettin high
Cause lifes a ***** and then you die
Lifes a ***** and then you die
Thats why we get high Cause you never know
When youre gonna go Lifes a * **** and then you die;
Thats why we puff lye Cause you never know when

Youre gonna go Lifes a ***** and then you die;
Thats why we get high Cause you never know when
Youre gonna go Lifes a ***** and then you die;
Thats why we puff ly

I woke up early on my born day Im twenty years
Of blessing The essence of adolescent leaves my
Body now Im fresh in My physical frame is celebrated
Cause I made it One quarter through life some God-ly
Like thing created Got rhymes 365 days annual plus
Some Load up the mic and bust one cuss while I puffs
From my skull cause its pain in my brain vein money
Maintain Dont go against the grain simple and plain
When I was young at this I used to do my thing hard
Robbin foreigners take they wallets they jewels and rip
They green cards Dipped to the projects fla***n my quick
Cash and got my first piece of ass smokin blunts with
Hash Now its all about cash in abundance *****z I
Used to run with is rich or doin years in the hundreds
I switched my motto instead of sayin **** tomorrow
That buck that bought a bottle couldve struck the
Lotto Once I stood on the block loose cracks produce
Stacks I cooked up and cut small pieces to get my loot
Back Time is Illmatic keep static like wool fabric
Pack a four-matic that crack your whole cabbage
