    Mr. Mr. Scarfarce went walkin down the block
    Out jumps some fiends and steals all his rocks
    Pulls out a gun and shoots down all the fiends
    and Mr Mr Scarface went up the block again...
    -Face

    If it's takin too long to lock up bring it back...
    -Jeezy

    Here I stand A Grown Ass Man
    All By Myself, A Grown Ass Man
    -Jeezy

    ? wanna go , we can go ? I’m talking head up
    Sick and tired of the ? and now I’m fed up
    Hatin’ on another grown man get your bread up
    If ya bread down ? then keep your head up
    -Jeezy

    I can't feel the field ? chains
    Though I covet mine, so I covered mine in bling
    Then I bumped into a ? and covered mine in shame
    Then I bumped into a ? and uncovered mine again
    Diamonds they undermined mayne, they give a ? with no mac another kinda game
    See money talks in another kinda slang
    -Lupe

    It ain't hard to tell, I excel then prevail
    The mic is contacted, I attract clientele
    My mic check is life or death, breathing a sniper's breath
    I exhale the yellow smoke of buddha through righteous steps
    Deep like the Shining, sparkle like a diamond
    Sneak a Uzi on the island in my army jacket lining
    -Nas

    I'd never heard illmatic all the way through, just bits and pieces here and there it was like summer 2007, i'd just did somethin in PA that I ain't really feel right about goin in, but it ended up goin smooth. I was by myself in a drop top mustang(hot, but it was all they had left) on the way back home and I played illmatic the whole time, but I can't tell you how many times I ran this song, namely this verse back. I had the top down, and it rained a bit most of the way home, but as long as you stay above 70 in a dropper, you won't get wet. It ended up gettin heavier once I got closer to home so I had to put the top up. But ? , for 2 outta 3 hours of that ride. The combination of the elation from gettin outta PA with my life and freedom, and all that bread, bein lost in that album, and ridin with the top down in the rain like that. ? was one of the greatest natural highs I've ever experienced, and my shirt was dry when I got to the crib. Great day yo.
