Verse One: AZ the Visualiza

Visualizin the realism of life & actuality
F*ck who has the baddest a person´s status depends on salary
And my mentality is, money orientated
I am destined to live the dream for all my peeps who never made it
cause yea, 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 & 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 have got to go
but as long as we leavin thievin we will be leavin with some kind of dough
so, & to that day we expire & turn to vapors
me & my capers-ll be somewhere stackin plenty papers
Keepin it real, packin steel, gettin high
Cause life is a bitch & then you die

Chorus: AZ the Visualiza

Life is a bitch & then you die; that is why we get high
Cause you never know when you are going to go
Life is a bitch & then you die; that is why we puff lye
Cause you never know when you are going to go
Life is a bitch & then you die; that is why we get high
Cause you never know when you are going to go
Life is a bitch & then you die; that is why we puff lye
--] chorus #1 echoes at the end

Cause you never know when you are going to go
Life is a bitch & then you die
--] chorus #2 includes these lines, echoes at the end

Verse Two: Nas

I woke up early on my born day, I am twenty yeahrs of blessing
The essence of adolescent leaves my body now I am 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 & bust one, cuss while I puffs from
my skull cause it is pain in my brain vein money main´tain
Don´t go against the grain simple & plain
When I was young at this I used to do my thing hard
Droppin foreigners take they wallets they jewels & rip they green cards
Dipped to the projects flashin my quick cash
and got my 1st piece of ass smokin blunts with hash
Now it is all about cash in abundance, niggaz I used to run with
is rich or doin yeahrs in the hundreds
I switched my motto -- instead of sayin f*ck tommorrow
That buck that bought a bottle could have struck the lotto
Once I stood on the block, loose cracks produce stacks
I cooked up & cut small pieces to get my loot back
Time is Illmatic keep static like wool fabric
Pack a four-matic that crack your whole cavity

Chorus

*Olu Dara plays trumpet till fade*
