Time Is Illmatic: The 20 Best Lyrics From Nas’ Seminal 1994 Debut Album Illmatic

14. “I rap for listeners, bluntheads, fly ladies and prisoners/ Henessey-holders and old-school n***as, then I be dissing/ A unofficial that smoke Woolie Thai/ I dropped out of Cooley High, gassed up by a cokehead cutie pie/ Jungle survivor, fu*k who’s the live-er/ My man put the battery in my back, a difference from Energizer” – “Memory Lane (Sittin’ in Da Park)”
