lirik lagu nas - life's a bitch (arsenal mix)
[verse 1: az]
visualizing the realism of life in actuality
f-ck 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 5 percenters
but somethin’ musta got in us cause all of us turned to sinners
now some rest in peace and some are sittin’ in san quentin
others such as myself are trying to carry on tradition
keeping this schweppervescent 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 leaving thievin’
we’ll be leavin’ with some kind of dough, so
until that day we expire and turn to vapors
me and my capers, will be somewhere stackin’ plenty papers
keeping it real, packing steel, getting high
cause life’s a b-tch and then you die
[hook: az]
life’s a b-tch and then you die
that’s why we get high
cause you never know when you’re gonna go
life’s a b-tch and then you die
that’s why we puff lye
cause you never know when you’re gonna go
[bridge 1: nas]
times is illmatic
times is illmatic
times is illmatic
(destined to live the dream for all my peeps who never made it)
[bridge 2: ?]
you gotta get the ground beneath your feet partner
get the wind behind your back
ride the blades of glory if you got to
otherwise you ain’t sh-t
you might as well be (?) your d-mn self
[verse 2: nas]
i woke up early on my born day; i’m 20, it’s a blessing
the essence of adolescence leaves my body, now i’m fresh and
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 pus 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 their wallets, their jewels, and rip their green cards
dipped to the projects flashing my quick cash and
got my first piece of -ss smokin blunts with hash
now i think about cash in abundance
n-ggas i used to run with is rich or doing years in the hundreds
i switched my motto; instead of saying “f-ck 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
times is illmatic, keep static like wool fabric
i pack a 4-matic to crack your whole cabbage
