I generated a sample with AI to use as the foundation then chopped it up and  layered sounds over it to make this beat.  I thought these lyrics fit over it so I turned it into a remix.

Nas & AZ - Life's a B*tch (Phat Tape Remix)

Smooth hip-hop confession track where a former player admits defeat to the woman who beat him at his own game.

Game Over

[Intro]
Yo, mic check, one-two, let the rhythm ignite,
City lights glow, we vibin’ tonight.
Kick back, feel the beat, let the soul take flight,
This that raw sound, bringin’ truth to the mic.  

[Verse 1]
[Flow: Steady, pocket groove]
Pen’s a grenade, I’m dodgin’ the fakes,
Truth in my veins, no room for the snakes.
Concrete jungle, where dreams get shaped,
Laced up my kicks, no time for the brakes.
I paint with the bars, like Basquiat’s art,
Every stroke from the soul, every rhyme from the heart.
Old heads nod, new heads spark,
Bridgin’ the gap, I’m light in the dark.  

[Chorus]
We ride the beat, let the rhythm unfold,
Stories from the block, worth more than gold.
Hands in the air, let the vibe stay true,
This that sound for the me and the you.  

[Verse 2]
[Flow: Choppy, syncopated]
Ink’s my ammo, I’m firin’ at will,
Climbin’ these dreams like I’m scalin’ a hill.
Crowd’s in a frenzy, they feelin’ the thrill,
Roots run deep, got that grit in my quill.
I’m dodgin’ the traps, sidesteppin’ the noise,
Real recognize real, no room for the ploys.
From cassette tapes to streams on ya phone,
Same rebel spirit, still carvin’ my zone.  

[Break]
[DJ scratches, vocal sample: “Yo, keep it raw!”]
Hold up—let the kick drum breathe,
Snare clap back, make the whole block seethe.
Spin that wax, let the needle repeat,
This that heat for the heads in the street.  

[Verse 3]
[Flow: Rapid, relentless]
I’m spittin’ like a dragon, flames on the page,
Cage can’t hold me, I’m breakin’ the gauge,
Stage is my canvas, I’m settin’ the blaze,
Haze of the hustle, I’m cuttin’ through maze.
No ghost in the pen, I’m the architect,
Buildin’ my legacy, brick by respect.
Kids in the cypher, they catchin’ the flex,
Passin’ the torch, yo, who’s spittin’ next?  

[Interlude]
[Sampled jazz horn, mellow keys]
Ayo, take a second, let the vibe sink in,
Feel the pulse of the city, where the fight begins.
From the stoops to the rooftops, we hold it down,
This that sound that forever rebounds.  

[Verse 4]
[Flow: Smooth, reflective]
I’m penning my truth while the skyline glows,
Heart full of hunger, where ambition flows.
The struggle’s my muse, every scar that shows,
Turn pain into bars, that’s the life I chose.
Got the wisdom of OGs, the fire of youth,
Blendin’ both worlds, I’m deliverin’ truth.
My mic’s a time machine, past to the now,
Every rhyme’s a blueprint, I’m showin’ you how.  

[Chorus]
We ride the beat, let the rhythm unfold,
Stories from the block, worth more than gold.
Hands in the air, let the vibe stay true,
This that sound for the me and the you.  

[Verse 5]
[Flow: Explosive, double-time]
I’m the spark in the cipher, the voice in the fray,
Carvin’ my name, let the doubters decay.
No chains on my mind, I’m as free as the wind,
Every bar’s a revolt, every verse is a hymn.
From the crates to the stage, I’m rewritin’ the code,
This that sound that’ll lighten the load.
Young kings, young queens, let ya spirit ascend,
This the anthem for the start and the end.  

[Outro]
Yo, we don’t stop, we just pass the flame,
From the roots to the future, it’s all the same.
Mic in my grip, let the legacy reign,
Till the speakers go silent, I’m spittin’ my pain.


We Ride The Beat

The Return

Decalcified

Just ‘cause I call myself rplayin
Don’t mean I’m playin
Nah

Just ‘cause I’m rplayin’ don’t mean I’m a player
Ain’t no lady slayer, I’m just the narrator
It’s a name for the stage, I present what I be
Like life’s just a script, and I spit it for free

I’m actin’ but real, in a world full of fake
You got glitter on truth, and lies in your wake
I’m no ruler, no crown, but I speak like a king
A ring don’t define what I bring to this thing

Order, not chaos, I stand where I must
If evil’s on top, then we all bite dust
Poetry dies when the demons win
So I write with fire and ink my sin

Now playin, uh huh
On this stage I remain, yeah
No chains, no name, just flame, brrr
I protect the rose and the pain, skrrt
Pen in fist, that’s my blade, blade
Words that twist like fate, twist
I ain’t here to entertain, nah
I'm just rplayin’ the game

I’m a thorn on the stem, got a reason to sting
Guardin’ the heart like a knight with a swing
I don't brawl with fists, I fight with bars
Paint my wounds in verses, shootin’ stars

Yeah, I dream past clouds in a restless bed
Where skies speak loud, and thoughts get fed
Life ain’t clean, it’s a filtered lens
But I still chase light where the shadow bends

Close your eyes if you wanna see
That pretty ain’t pretty, and ugly might be
The truth that shakes and breaks the mold
We hover like stars, never bought, never sold


Floatin’ through the static, voices in the haze
Nothin’ really matters, I been lost for days
Whispers in my head say run away
But I stay, yeah I stay, I remain

Night don’t sleep, and the light don’t change
Tried to speak, but the words just fade
All I got is this pain I paint
But I stay, yeah I stay, I remain

We caught in the net
Fish with wings, stars with breath
But our purpose
Is to be different
I remain

Jus’ call me, rrrrplayin, uhhh
Ain’t no playerrrr, I’m just, sayin
Stage name, pain in the frame
Life’s a script, and I’m still, in the, gaaaaaame

Thorn on, tha rose, keep tha foes, froze
Pen in my fist, I don’t throw, no blows
Dreamin, bout better skies
But, beauty lies, in ugly eyes

Hoverin, stars, caught, in the net
We born, to be, diff’rent, don’t forget

I... Remaaaiiinnnnnnnn-n-n-nnnnn
