Esteban Gigante, build a bridge you can call me And I'll be right there to fight, look at all thee People who came to salute, wasn't a fantasy we just don't filter the truth Call it a man to be, though it was fun just rapping then... But I was feeling the vibes of what's happening I mean...Birds started flying, people started dying Shit got real, but ya mama wasn't crying I guess she was being strong, I wrote a song... trying to explain the wrong His name is Ill WIll you might know him from Nas I was the little homie right behind them guys.... *Hook* Esteban Gigante, Big Steve what he called me Big chips like the finals , in the hall we were hooping Shit like the stairs out of bounds, but we were losing, trying to keep our heads under crowns Life moving, moving....with or without us. He felt the game was rigged and they all suss. Try to navigate a crooked path. Do the math... I could of been a sociopath... *Hook* Esteban Gigante, taco meat Belafonte. Little hair on my chest sipping Andre. Went to school to be a better man, A better than, a better plan , see better land. See I was moving smoother than, a Quiet Storm. Trying to disrupt the norm. Call me a Prodigy or Manchild Nas was reaching out, Senior year in college I'm too close for backing out. Acting like snob, snubbing invitations. Avoiding pulling up, blaming education. Nas was gracious and nothing but real. But talking to him just, reminded me of Will. *Hook* His name is Ill Will, you might know him from Nas. I was the little homie right behind them guys. Park jams was like fire works to young eyes I would take, what I heard and saw to Bed Stuy. I can't lie, I've lived a blessed life. Ups and Downs, but still around breathing despite... Life's a bitch trying to cancel, a Poor Black Man. The past is just a lesson to forge that plan....

Collecting bucks for my B Day, Crack in my jeans, hey Y’all know the struggle woes, so I’m a play my role Second bench, hood trench, hear my favorite song Out the radio, lunch spot, come with me to Wongs 5 Wings, French fries. Salt, Pepper, Ketchup Flexing in my ACGs, y’all better catch up. Chain swinging like pendulum, y’all know the vibes. They looking at my fit, but I just keep my eyes on the aggy. Mad we running the block, since The candy factory, and breaking the locks. Now we, top of New York, my crew love thorough Serving this side of QB, we got the bench to the Turtle By 40 16, Vernon bully. My building. Queensbridge murders, make a killing. But I'm chilling, willing to clear any static 92 is mine, world premiere Will-matic Project benches, we flexing Bullets missing us by inches Day and life, of a Ghetto henchman. Coming off my stretch, call me Ill Will Make it sound like a movie but it feel real.....

Will Do 03:22
What I won't do, Entertain your bullshit but confront you. I'm feeling kind of triggered, so I will warn you. Ask yourself the question what would Will Do. Probably Kill you. Probably slap the shit out of your mouth is more accurate. You a lame, tuck your chain or he'll snatch the shit. Hidden Brain, social media games. People talking out of turn making idiot claims... We on that get off my lawn type of time. That Old Head, I said what I said type of lines. Men of character, go tell Ya life on Twitter But I ain't mad at Ya, I lead my life as a spitter. You know, sometimes, Exaggerate things. But now I really know why the caged bird sings. Slave to your Tweets, hungry for a mention. Until we pulling up with a different type of tension. *Hook* Now what would possess, a grown man to confess, undying love for my cousin. Groupie Niggas be buggin. Lurking in my DMs, Vegas can I holla. Peace to Ya cousin, follow for follow. Listen to my new tape, the shit is Illmatic I heard about the story the shit is so tragic. Facts, I'm like.....What these weirdo niggas really want To cling to a story, and being so blunt See, it's somewhat like, a fantasy to fans. Queensbridge is just like a magical land. With chipped tooth Nas, MC Shan, Marley Marl Tragedy and Havoc, Mega and more. Don't forget Ill Will, it had to be the best. But if you from the hood it's relatable stress. Practice to say less, I don't mean no harm, but all I care about is my family being gone.... *Hook* I can be a little rude, a little condescending I truly understand, your looking for confessions. Like What really happened, who was right there. I can tell this much, I was upstairs. Peace to Jungle and Nas for keeping Willie alive. Our path, forever changed the day that he died. A better place, a better life It's what we all wanted, but we had to fight. And by the grace of God we still here. I really held back these lyrics for many years

The Hill 03:05
(Chorus) We declining but we gotta keep climbing.. . Some people live for the dream but scared of the reality. In 40-16, walk in his Bally's...See We trying to avoid the Valley of Death... Looking around, just trying to see who's next... Like, Fiends and Pregnant teens...Social services knocking ...hide the triple beam...put the rocks in a stocking It's like everyday Hood shit... Project development, we never get the good shit. (Chorus) We declining but we gotta keep climbing... Up the Hill and, hope that... we don't fall down. But how a Black Rose gone grow in Hallowed Grown. Most of us, had... to live without a father Instead of valuing life, we'd rather be a mortar. A cool nigga, but he dead now. You's fool nigga, don't keep ya down. You's a King who deserves a Queen and OffSpring. A man should indulge in the truth that life brings. By all means, we starting at the bottom Looking for options, and wonder if we got em. My faith ain't strong, I'm feeling like I'm boxed in. What I'm a do with no food in the pots, and... My baby crying, and she need to eat...before me my sacrifice is street glory. But I'm headed up North instead... 12 kicked the door in. two in cuffs one dead...we losing. (Chorus) We declining but we gotta keep climbing... May 23, 1992 I want you to know, we still miss you. You still here with us, we all went to college And passed the torch to expand the family knowledge Houses and Salaries, who'd of thought The dream became reality, because we fought For better days and hey, none of it was easy If you told me back then shit, I wouldn't believe me It's been a long journey, but know that we are worthy. I dedicate this verse, to Aunt Versie. She persevered through some dark days... And still raised your brother, deserved all praise... Amazed by the ground we've covered, I scream Yes Sir And gaze at the clouds embraced by ancestors... Guide me through the- path- I- face.. We top of the Hill, until- we bow out with grace....

Santa Claus ain't coming to town, we don't got a fucking chimney. Got high instead, blew the whole fucking stimmy. Gas and boarding passes to islands. Put it on the gram, niggaz was wildin. I'm from the era of no smiling. Middle finger at your camera, Used to be Peace signs, but damn bruh Why you spitting so serious Nah, my food for thought make a fat boy delirious. Call me Vegas, never ending like Atreyu Who Tried to play the game but the game tried to play us Calm under pressure, apply pressure to peons 5 heartbeats but my blood cooler than Leon Little characters, speak in all caps. Groupies on my dick, follow on all apps My catalog, pull up it's all Smack Hold it down though, and keep your battle raps *Hook* Call me Vegas, so glad to finally meet Ya Another project with Kil and no features No blood offering, illuminati No Gun talk, drug sales, odes to John Gotti Excuse me, I'm just a educated lad Just like you, grew up with no Dad Grew up mad, sometimes we had till we didn't We A-alike, but my hustle is mad different Like Horsepower, Bad Boy... like a Piston Since 1994 I'm the Chef in the Kitchen Catch what I'm pitching, hunid mile fastball Who the hell is he, exactly what you asked for I put bars on you eulogy, if you was me You wouldn't need steps on who to be. Vegas for President, Hip-Hop approve me. Brooklyn Bred, call sign...brutally. *Hook* Walking to the G train, my stop Queens Plaza. BK to QB, hanging with my Plasma. My blood.... my family, my love Big homie hold me down from the skies above We out here living hip hop, I call it bug. Been afflicted for a minute, I'm eternally sick wit it. Sicko mode...control the trolls, I ain't lying. The louder they get, the more I kill em with the silence. Science and Math, Liquor and Hash Toking on cigars without breaking the ash... It's symbolic, to my path through college. Avoid the dumb shit, become... philanthropic. Never stop it, the beat....write the bars before Kil drop it. Imagine Vegas out of pocket. Bar after bar till we back together... Until then I say Peace...ILL WILL FOREVER *Hook*
