How could I ever forget? I would never forget. time is illmatic. Thank you Nas for this classic. Changed my life.
I remember when I was 6, I started to write. Age 10 was like the halftime, Took a break I had severe writers block, I couldn't focus to save my life. Then I heard "NY state of mind", it changed my life.
Changed my life, And the way I write. This album's the goat everyday for life. Taught me lessons momma couldn't teach me, bout being a man, Cause my father wasn't round; though she did the best that she can so I ain't hating, Never! But your words were clever. Ever so.
One love took me down memory lane; When I was sitting in the park with this chick I was insane fo'. This album represented everything I ever went through in life. It ain't hard to tell I wrote this one time 4 your mind. And life's a lady dog but you told me that the world is mine; This is the Genesis, what I wrote, I live my life in these lines.
Thank you.

Wrote this for Nas. On the 22nd anniversary of his "illmatic" album release. Learned a lot from that album. And I keep learning. ✍
