Classic (Better Than I've Ever Been)

[houser34]

Track is so smooth. I just realized how epic it is the other day: three legends in Nas, Rakim, and KRS as well as a legend in the making in Kanye (in my eyes)over a killer beat by the legendary DJ Premier.

It's one life to live, so live it the best you can The world could use one less man Not enough air, not enough car factories To manufacture the newvehicles, sedans and vans When they do make the whip you like, your chips ain't right By the time you could afford it, the car ain't important In thestreets I'm in, it's just iron Cops keep firin', in my environment Leavin' you slumped, then they drive home Far from the hood brothers theyeager to jump on

Seeing Kanye diddybopping into the studio is like watching Mike walking out of the locker room in his warm up suit.
