Em
for all my peeps who never made it
'Cause yeah, we were beginners in
G
Em
the hood as Five Percenters
But somethin' must of got in us 'cause
D
Em
all of us turned to sin ners
Now some restin' in peace and some

Keepin' this Schweppervescent street

Em
The essence of adolescence leaves my body,
now I'm fresh and
godly-like thing thing created
Got rhymes 365 days annual,
plus some
Load up the mic and bust one,
D
Em
cuss while I pus from
My skull 'cause it's pain in my brain vein,
D
Em
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
smokin' blunts with hash
Em
Nig gas I used to run with is rich or doin'
years in the hundreds
could've struck the lotto
Once I stood on the block,
G
Em
loose cracks produce stacks
I cooked up and cut small pieces
to get my loot back
Time is illmatic, keep static
Verse 5
your whole cabbage
Em
C
Life's a bitch and then you die
'Cause you never know when

'Cause you never know when
you're gonna go
Life's a bitch and then
'Cause you never know when
you're gonna go
G
Em
Life's a bitch and then you die
