Aiyyo wassup wassup
Let's keep it real son
Count this money
Ya know what I'm sayin
Yea yea
Aiyyo put the Grant's over there
In the safe ya know what I'm sayin
Yea yea
Cause we spendin' these Jackson's
The Wa***ngton's go to wifey
You know how that go
I'm sayin' that's what
This is all about right
Clothes bankrolls
And hoes ya know what I'm sayin
Yo then what man what
Visualizin the realism
Of life and actuality
**** 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 ***** and then you die
Life's a ***** and then you die;
That's why we get high
Cause you never know
When you're gonna go
Life's a ***** and then you die;
That's why we puff lye
Cause you never know when
You're gonna go Life's
A ***** and then you die;
That's why we get high
Cause you never know when
You're gonna go Life's a
***** and then you die;
That's why we puff ly
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 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 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
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 it's 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 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 cabbage
Life's a ***** and then you die;
That's why we get high
Cause you never know
When you're gonna go
Life's a ***** and then you die;
That's why we puff lye
Cause you never know
When you're gonna go
Life's a ***** and then you die;
That's why we get high
Cause you never know
When you're gonna go
Life's a ***** and then you die;
That's why we puff lye
Cause you never know
When you're gonna go
Life's a ***** and then you die
