Illmatic - Babyface Ray

Tryna build my niggas up but they rather compete

I told her don’t be looking forward to no wedding with' 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 shit I’m doing not real, I might die in my dream

If I pay him good enough, he’ll drive 'em to me

Boss nigga get dirty with' the youngins 'cause this shit get real

(I can’t lie, man, this shit been real)

That’s why every day a nigga on them meds 'cause this shit been ill

(Boy if them folks try to slam you, have enough for a pill)

I know some niggas saying fuck school

Bought that load, same nigga go to truck school

Get a statement from that nigga you was cuffed too

Fall off, bounce back, nigga, fuck you, haha (Bounce back, nigga, fuck you)

Balenciaga got lights like L.A. gears

In L.A. gettin' noticed, man, this shit feel weird

First class on the Delta, how you get here Spirit?

Load somethin', drop a nigga, it ain’t no more tears

Fed up, my nigga feelin' down from the streets, his head up

I done struggled all them years, my bread up

I just fucked her and her, a and-one

Ain’t no feelings in this shit, I’m staying numb

Boss nigga get dirty with' the youngins 'cause this shit get real

(I can’t lie, man, this shit been real)

That’s why every day a nigga on them meds 'cause this shit been ill

(Boy if them folks try to slam you, have enough for a pill)
