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

5. “I woke up early on my born day; I’m 20, it’s a blessing/ The essence of adolescence leaves my body, now I’m fresh and/ My physical frame is celebrated cause I made it/ One quarter through life some Godly-like thing created” – “Life’s a Bit*h”
