Nas - Life`s A Bitch

Aiyyo wassup wassup
let's keep it real son
Count this money yaknowhatI'msayin
Aiyyo put the Grant's over there
in the safe yaknowhatI'msayin
Cause we spendin these Jackson's
The Washington's go to wifey
you know how that go
I'm sayin
that's what this is all about right
Clothes bankrolls
and hoes yaknowhatI'msayin
Yo then what man what
Visualizin the realism
of life and actuality
Fuck who's the baddest a person's
status depends on salary
And my mentality is
money orientated
I'm 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
we'll be leavin
with some kind of dough
so and to that day we expire
and turn to vapors
me and my capers ll
be somewhere stackin plenty papers
Keepin it real
packin steel gettin high
Cause life's a bitch
and then you die
Life's a bitch and then you die
that's why we get high
Cause you never know
when you're gonna go
Life's a bitch and then you die
that's why we puff lye
Cause you never know
when you're gonna go
Life's a bitch and then you die
that's why we get high
Cause you never know
when you're gonna go
Life's a bitch and then you die
that's why we puff lye
I woke up early on my born day
I'm twenty years of blessing
The essence of adolescent
leaves my body now I'm fresh in
My physical frame is celebrated
cause I made it
One quarter through life
some Godly 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 it's pain
in my brain vein money maintain
Don't go against the grain
simple and plain
When I was young at this
I used to do my thing hard
Droppin foreigners take
they wallets they jewels
and rip they green cards
Dipped to the projects
flashin my quick cash
and got my first piece of ass
smokin blunts with hash
Now it's all about cash in abundance
niggaz I used to run with
is rich or doin years
in the hundreds
I switched my motto
instead of sayin fuck tommorrow
That buck that bought a bottle
could've 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 cavity
Life's a bitch and then you die
that's why we get high
Cause you never know
when you're gonna go
Life's a bitch and then you die
that's why we puff lye
Cause you never know
when you're gonna go
Life's a bitch and then you die
that's why we get high
Cause you never know
when you're gonna go
Life's a bitch and then you die
that's why we puff lye
Cause you never know
when you're gonna go
Life's a bitch and then you die

Nas feat A.Z. - Life's A Bitch

Classic track off 'Illmatic'. Nas committed the cardinal sin on this one, he allowed the Guest MC to outshine him on his own track. AZ kills this one.
