Текст (слова) песни: Nas - Life`s A Bitch

 
[A] Aiyyo, wassup wassup let`s keep it real son 
Count this money, yaknowhatI`msayin? 
[N] Yea yea 
[A] Aiyyo, put the Grant`s over there in the safe yaknowhatI`msayin? 
[N] Yea yea 
[A] Cause we spendin these Jackson`s 
The Washington`s go to wifey, you know how that go 
[N] I`m sayin, that`s what this is all about right? 
Clothes, bankrolls, and hoes yaknowhatI`msayin? 
Yo then what man, what?? [echoes] 
 
[Verse One: AZ the Visualiza] 
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 
 
[Chorus: AZ the Visualiza] 
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 
[-- chorus #1 echoes at the end] 
 
Cause you never know when you`re gonna go 
Life`s a bitch and then you die 
[-- chorus #2 includes these lines, echoes at the end] 
 
[Verse Two: Nas] 
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 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 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 
 
[Chorus] 
 
[Olu Dara plays trumpet until fade]
