[Nas] 
Yo ill will, ruff ryders 
what what, sraight like that 

You a killer or a hustler, dealer or customer 
Gangsta or buster, youngster or old n**** 
A weed head, a coke sniffer 
You rich or a broke n**** 

Know you all relate to this s*** that i wrote n****s 
Lots of my mans trapped up in a max 
Penatentary, sending me letters i answer back 
That eventually, we all be bentley'ed out 

Throwing campaigns, f*** it I'm running for White House 
My n****s control Senate, pipe seats jeeps tinted 
Mad Lewinsky chicks, some kinky s*** 
Did dirt now I knew it would come back one day 

So I'm on point, scrap, prepare for gunplay 
Stared at one face, thought it was beef he looked familiar 
Ready to blast ,n**** gave me daps said I feel ya 
Can't believe how my life changed 
From the hood, the first time in my life I can say i did the right thing 

[Chorus: x 4]
Life is what you make it n****, I'ma make it 
No matter what it takes my n****, we gonna take it(uh) 

[DMX] 
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh 
Everyday s***, around the way s*** got me stressed (what) 
So i keep on the vest in case a n**** want to test (uh) 
I got no time for games cause I'm all grown up 

You want to joke n****? laugh when you get blown up (come on) 
See how funny it is when your kids ain't got no father 
'Cause you played it sweet now you floating in the harbor (for real) 
S*** is hectic so respect it for your health (what) 

Didn't think it was right, you should've checked it yourself (come on) 
Life is too short to get caught up in some dumb s*** 
Wake up one day, 40 years old on some bumb s*** 
Time flew by, you was too fly to see the light 

Everyday it's getting darker then comes the night 
Now what? (what) realize that you ain't got s*** (uh) 
Not long ago you was the man on some hot s*** 
So just peep the flow yo, cause you already in this 
Make sure your s*** is right kid and handle your business (uh huh) 

[Chorus] 

[Nas] 
Make history before you go 
F*** the misery, you po we gettin' doe 
Except the ?dollars? other reasons why I'm living yo (why?) 
Time is viable 

Low and behold the young, black, and powerful 
Got to eat yo, everyday my daughters feet grow 
You wack and cheap with the doe, my heat could blow 
Payin' doctors when I'm born, a preacher when I'm buried 

That's why cash is needed for my kids to inherit 
Gotta pay just for living, tax life is a be	'ness (business) 
If you catch a bad deal, watch your life deminish 
Deals made by God and the Devil, and we in it 

Pawns in the game, can't complain or say s*** 
Just strap up and hold on, hope for the best 
prepare for the worse, no fears no nothing on earth 
No tears if I'm dumped in a hearse, I won't be the first 
Nor the last n****, let's get this cash n**** 

[Chorus]
