"What a life we chose. I'm sending this out to those, Who fell down, but then rose. I'm hot, I'm hell bound with these flows. And when my story's told, Let it be known that I'd never fold. I took my time, I gave my soul. I watched you shine, But me I glow, so. I'm coming for what I'm owed." ~Jermaine Lamarr Cole

Thoughts: The Jazz record, ‘A Child is Born’ by The Howard Hanger Trio (1974), may have been Nas’s inspiration for the ‘Illmatic’ album cover art. Being that his father is a Jazz musician , Nas may have stumbled across this record as a child and subconsciously remembered it.
