Illmatic Lyrics by VaLtini

2020

[Hook x2: VaLtini & JEorJase]
Never been static, I’m Illmatic
Young like Nasir when he dropped Illmatic
By 25 I need to blow
(Running to the money, here I go)
.BREAD is old but it’s gold
(Geomagic, they should know)
[Verse 1: VaLtini]
Only lie to myself when I doubt myself
I put the T in truth and raise some hell
When it’s VaL & Jase “It Ain’t Hard to Tell”
Mama always said I was hard to dealt with
Life is a bitch, tryna put a nice end to it
Ever since they used to call me Viz, always loved to take a little risk
Bootings from a different fabric, had to send some letters like Nas did
Know some bros that put the N in Nasty, that break homes quickly like it’s plastic, huh
My “Memory Lane” is a bit bumpy with a few stories that turned tragic
Who the hell wants “Halftime” when the game is on and still active
[Hook x2: VaLtini & JEorJase]
Never been static, I’m Illmatic
Young like Nasir when he dropped Illmatic
By 25 I need to blow
(Running to the money, here I go)
.BREAD is old but it’s gold
(Geomagic, they should know)
[Verse 2: Jeorjase]
I’m a manny boy, that’s 61
Tryna take my name overseas
If I go to the US I’m in Harlem
Same way I can be around queens
Jeorjase spitting Ether
You don’t want it, your mandem neither
Can’t come over here, grass is greener
She thinks I’m mean now I can be meaner
Can’t compare a moped to a beamer
Send shots I got the red beam on
Man act dumb, I know man seen us
These flows here got man lean cuz
VaL and Jase, come like Nas and Jay
Man in my way, get the pad and spray
Life’s a bitch but she’s loving off Jay
Cah it feels like it’s all going my way
[Hook x2: VaLtini & JEorJase]
Never been static, I’m Illmatic
Young like Nasir when he dropped Illmatic
By 25 I need to blow
(Running to the money, here I go)
.BREAD is old but it’s gold
(Geomagic, they should know)
