Illmatic lyrics

[Intro]
Young Zay hit him, leave him where he lay

[Verse 1]
I told that b*tch tell me lies, it don't matter to me (It don't matter to me)
Tryna build my n*ggas up but they rather compete
I told her don't be looking forward to no wedding wit' me
'Cause I'm married to that money and it's rarely I cheat
I buy a seal, pour a four in my sleep
I can't lie, yeah, I do enjoy it more with a bean
No regrets what I done, can't erase what I seen
Mash the pedal, everybody think I'm fleeing the scene
Hang with us is a privilege, lifestyle of the week
Quote numbers on a chicken, he ain't buying no wing
The sh*t I'm doing not real, I might die in my dream
If I pay him good enough, he'll drive 'em to me

[Chorus]
Boss n*gga get dirty wit' the youngins 'cause this sh*t get real
(I can't lie, man, this sh*t been real)
That's why every day a n*gga on them meds 'cause this sh*t been ill
(Boy if them folks try to slam you, have enough for a pill)

[Verse 2]
I know some n*ggas saying f*ck school
Bought that load, same n*gga go to truck school
Get a statement from that n*gga you was cuffed too
Fall off, bounce back, n*gga, f*ck you, haha (Bounce back, n*gga, f*ck you)
Balenciaga got lights like L.A. gears
In L.A. gettin' noticed, man, this sh*t feel weird
First class on the Delta, how you get here Spirit?
Load somethin', drop a n*gga, it ain't no more tears
Fed up, my n*gga feelin' down from the streets, his head up
I done struggled all them years, my bread up
I just f*cked her and her, a and-one
Ain't no feelings in this sh*t, I'm staying numb
[Chorus]
Boss n*gga get dirty wit' the youngins 'cause this sh*t get real
(I can't lie, man, this sh*t been real)
That's why every day a n*gga on them meds 'cause this sh*t been ill
(Boy if them folks try to slam you, have enough for a pill)
