(A minor) 80 (G major)
bars, 80 scars
(A minor) Yo, engineer turn me (G major) up, yo
(A minor)
Verse 2
I started off in the under (F major) ground
(G major) From mono to stereo,
now I'm surround sound
(A minor) Blowing through your tubes,
leav (F major) ing holes (A minor) through your speakers
(G major) Cracking through your tweeters, my
frequency's off the meter
(A minor) Jam (F major) packed arenas from
here to Bangkok
(G major) I'm ahead of my time (E minor) like
Jimi Hendrix playing Woodstock
(A minor) Me, I'm play (F major) ing Hoodstock before
I had the dreadlocks
I use (G major) to reminisce "Should I do
music or sell (A minor) rocks?"
Wrote my own props,
living in the (F major) (A minor) (G major) PJ's
That's when the Angel Gabriel said
"It's all a Masquerade"
(A minor) Eyes with no face,
speakers with no lace
(G major) I feel that Earth's spinnin,
but I'm standin in the same space (F major)
(A minor) With no (F major) trace of what happened
last night
(G major) I seen (E minor) two fiends fighting
over a crack pipe
(A minor) Now I'm (F major) watching TV,
my antennae was a close hanger (G major)
Blurry vision, Mister McGee Hunn,
David (A minor) Banner
Flip the data,
the kids was wearin bandanas
(G major) Totin hammers (E minor) aimin at your medulla
oblong (G major) ata (A minor)
Blaow blaow, a young
thug with a slim figure
(G major) Romantic type like the movie Casablanca
(F major) Herb seller, once but busted
by an undercover (E minor)
Buyer, my supplier was
a Gypsy cab driver
(F major) That's when I realized I
need to find a new hustle
(G major) Living in the jungle the guitar
became my muscle
(A minor) I strive through snake eyes who
wanted me crucified
(G major) I thought that I was drowning
but I was getting baptized
(A minor) Now behold, I heard you sold 20 mill'
But (G major) with no street credibility, your overkill
You (F major) ain't real,
talkin bout keep it gangsta
(E minor) Phony, (G major) if you knew the (E minor)
gangstas sent me to shank you
(A minor) Gank you, (F major) yank you,
tie up your ankles
(G major) And if that ain't enough,
I call Henchman's to lynch you
(A minor) Now, at the funeral,
I can see the Priest bless you
(G major) But in the after life,
I'ma still (E minor) touch (G major) you
(A minor) Knockin on heavens door,
your beggin to get in
That's (G major) when the son of man greets
you with the face of Satan
(F major) Now you look frightened in the
belly of the whale
That's (E minor) when the warden say "I want
to welcome you to hell"
(F major) Fools, is 5 bucks, get off the phone,
times up (G major)
I seen him cut from his head
to his nuts (A minor)
You wish you wouldn't,
wish you couldn't, wish it got to me
Cause (G major) you screamin' so loud
that a deaf man can hear
(A minor) Back to the silence,
no more droppin science (G major)
Er'body rappin about
diamonds and violence
(F major) And A&R's, all they do
is charge credit cards
(E minor) And when the bill comes,
they blame it on the rap stars (F major)
Now how you figure? I ain't rent a car
(G major) I wasn't at the spa, I ain't by the bar
(A minor) Now here's a jewel when you
get your first record deal
(G major) Don't subject yourself
to the mass appeal
(A minor) First Class, caviar in the vel'
In the (G major) new S Class with the Jordan wheels
Re (F major) member,
the music industry is like the streets
You know (E minor) the cold of the streets,
er'body tryin to eat
The (F major) evidence is concrete,
I'm tired of the same song
(G major) You take me how,
you must be high off heroin
(A minor) Sharper than I ever been,
this one gon get a (G major) 10
Rappers, I'ma murder y'all
with your own medicine
(A minor) I move with faith, I never have doubt
I'm (G major) so hungry you will think
I'm just coming out
But (F major) I been here before,
from "Blunted" to "The Score"
To (G major) "The (C major) Carnival",
(E minor) Ecleftic World Tour
(A minor) I'm (F major) causin whores,
waitin in the back doors
They (G major) want me to rock they boat
and shift they more short
That's (A minor) when the Father said
"Take heed to this lesson"
They (G major) want to cut your hair
like Deliala did Sampson
(A minor) I felt that, so I went back to my format
(G major) Raps and backpack, gats for (F major) carjacks
Hats for pussycats, cause Aids,
I don't want that
(E minor) And for the DJ's,
here's something y'all can scratch
Tech (G major) nique (C major) (A minor) 12, the needle
hits the wax
(G major) Hypnotize the crowd,
the dance floor is (A minor) jam packed
Now sing along like a negro spiritu (F major) al
(G major) No one got shot tonight,
it's a miracle
(A minor) What's this I hear,
y'all want to take my spot?
(G major) You got a better chance putting
a gorilla in a (F major) headlock
I'm too focused,
I can see through your lens
(G major) You ain't a G, just a want to be,
(E minor) Kingpin so
(F major) "The next time,
y'all want to pay for protection
I (G major) suggest that you hit up
the Haitian Sicilians"
(A minor)
