The Genesis - Explicit Album Version

And you're sitting at home doing this shit
I should be earning a medal for this (street's disciple, my raps are trifle)
Stop fuckin' around and be a man (I shoot slugs from my brain just like a rifle)
(Stampede the stage, I leave the microphone split)
There ain't nothin' out here for you (play Mr. Tuffy while I'm on some Pretty Tone shit)
Oh yes, there is (verbal assassin, my architect pleases)
(When I was 12, I went to) this

Yo, Nas, yo, what the fuck is this bullshit on the radio, son?
Chill, chill, that's the shit, God, chill

Ayo, yo, pull down the shades, man
Let's count this money, nigga
Ayo, Nas, put the Jacksons and the Grants over there
You know what I'm sayin'?
'Cause we spendin' them Jacksons
You know how we get down, baby

True, true

Nas, yo, Nas, man, shit is mad real right now in the projects
For a nigga, yo, word to mother
All them crab-ass rappers be comin' up to me, man, word to mother, man
I think we need to let them niggas know it's real, man

True indeed, you know what I'm sayin'? But when it's real, you doin' this
Even without a record contract, you know what I'm sayin'?

No question

Been doin' this since back then

I'm sayin' regardless how it go down we gon' keep it real
We tryin' to see many mansions and, and coupes, kid
You know how that go

Ayo, where's Grand Wizard and Mayo at, man?
Takin' niggas a long time, man

Who got the Phillies? Take this Hennessy, man

Ayo, dunn
C'mon, c'mon, man stop wavin' that, man
Don't point it at me, bruh, take the clip out

Nigga, alright, but take this Hennessey, man

I'm sayin' take the clip man, c'mon, take it out

Light them Phillies up, man, niggas stop fuckin' burnin' Phillies, man
Light some Phillies up then (pass that Henrock)

Pass that Henrock, nigga, act like you know

Yo, we drinkin' this straight up with no chaser
I ain't fuckin' with you, nigga

I'm saying, though, man

What is it? What is it, baby?

What is it, son? What is it?

You know what time it is

I'm saying, man, you know what I'm saying?
Niggas don't listen, man, representin', it's Illmatic
