[Intro] Alright, here we go Uh Take you to that new plateau, through rap slow [Verse] The world is mine like Brian De Palma Illuminati wants my mind, soul, and my body The kid's a mix between John A. and Irv Gotti Golden shotty in the bed, where all these bloody roads end Where all that bloody dough spent Nas raised the bar, I'm just trynna grab it For me rap is life, it's no longer a habit Now that sh** right there, it's phony as f** Kind of ironic the name Trillmatic stuck Just like the world, the choice is yours Give to the rich or expect more from the poor But think about if you lived on the top tier Is it worth all the glitz to live your f**ing life in fear Most of you spit like you can't have any fun Voices like vampires, never been out in the sun Put a positive spin on the tough guy' rhyme
Just gotta thank God you ain't gotta pray for a single dime Cause from time to time, I sit back and just think What would life be like if I didn't have a sink? If I lived in the projects and avid used the pyrex Contract the k**er crabs when I'm going up in raw s** No dad or mother, just me and my brother Only looking out for him and the PD undercovers Going home to no food or family at the dinner table Same sh** happens everyday until you're picked up by the label All you wanna do is sweep your mistakes under the carpet Take them like a man and don't try to start sh** Grandma always told me we people are equal We also k** one another, we lethal Man, f** being peaceful Think I go hard now, just wait for the sequel [Outro]
