Key: C# minor
Verse 1
Am
C
Yeah, you've been listening to
the sounds of DJ J Live, aka J Live,
Am
C
you know what saying?
Yeah, the here after,
gotta thank everybody that's
been supporting,
holding me down for all these years,
you know what I'm saying?
Peace!
why that?
You think I'm sleeping
Bb
C
with a wrench in my back,
but it's a two year old elbow to be
Crack of dawn,
me and my earth bear
Am
C
be under attack
Sleep from three deep to five deep
Bb
C
in two years and no sleep
smiles so sweet
Bb
C
wash up, diaper changing
Kids dressed in more colors
than Mike and Ike's
Breakfast smelling right,
watch your mic and mic
Enter the chamber of the live one,
my life is like a black and white
Sit calm, more calm, yeah right, not quite
Am
C
I cherish moments
that I'm not under the spotlight
Am
C
I love what I do,
but see tours take eternities
Am
C
I'm gone one week,
your model's grown two feet
Fleas have got new speaks,
Am
C
and justice bringing in teeth
Am
C
Struggling for balance
Bb
C
between work and family
Am
C
Money vs. time, beats vs. rhymes,
Am
C
yours vs. mine
Am
C
Making you grind vs. sparking your mind
Am
C
Heat from the earth's
core or the sunshine
Am
C
The best part vs. all of the above
Always has been, always will be,
almost killed me
Am
C
Yet it'll still be the necessary chapter
For me to move on,
Am
C
closer to the hereafter
It's all said and done,
you can hear and see a legacy
Not ironically, dating back to longevity
Bb
C
With steady rocks rocking steadily
Whether the discs rotate
Am
C
light or heavily
After I'm home from a long
day's work
Paychecks determine if it
be a smile or a smirk
That I'm greeted with, I can't be
Feeding kids with stories
of getting jerked
F
C
That's why when you try,
I go berserk
Hustling hard to bring plans full circle
Like this here beat
Feel free to critique,
the entrance was too long,
Bb
C
the exit was too short
Am
C
But it's my way or the highway,
Am
C
so fuck what you thought
Am
C
I'm after the gold
Bb
C
and after that the platinum
But wait, damn,
I promise no more quotes when I rap
Am
C
But wait, I'm after the platinum,
after the gold
After those records failed
Am
C
with a few hundred thou
sand records sold
I'm after the opening,
but that's another story seen
After all that I've done,
Bb
C
Am
C
I'm almost famous like Ayo,
for real man, you never heard of Sundance?
If I never live to see another day
Showing just another way to live forever
I bet whatever their endeavors
They grow to be at least
three times as clever
Am
C
Af ter the sun sets on my rap career
Am
C
I'll be satisfied with a long
ride to reach the air
For those that hold it dear
Fear not, for that day is nowhere near
Am
C
For at least another ten years, yeah
In between times
during these mean times
Rewind it back
so you can analyze this and that
What you don't hear now,
you'll hear after I'm rappin'
And run up on me like, alright,
then what happened?
C
Thanks watching!
