Key: C# minor•
Verse 1
C#m
E
Yeah, you've been listening to
the sounds of DJ J Live, aka J Live,
C#m
E
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
D
E
with a wrench in my back,
but it's a two year old elbow to be
Crack of dawn,
me and my earth bear
C#m
E
be under attack
Sleep from three deep to five deep
D
E
in two years and no sleep
smiles so sweet
D
E
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
C#m
E
I cherish moments
that I'm not under the spotlight
C#m
E
I love what I do,
but see tours take eternities
C#m
E
I'm gone one week,
your model's grown two feet
Fleas have got new speaks,
C#m
E
and justice bringing in teeth
C#m
E
Strug gling for balance
D
E
between work and family
C#m
E
Money vs. time, beats vs. rhymes,
C#m
E
yours vs. mine
C#m
E
Making you grind vs. spark ing your mind
C#m
E
Heat from the earth's
core or the sunshine
C#m
E
The best part vs. all of the above
Always has been, always will be,
almost killed me
C#m
E
Yet it'll still be the necessary chapter
For me to move on,
C#m
E
closer to the hereafter
It's all said and done,
you can hear and see a legacy
Not ironically, dating back to longevity
D
E
With steady rocks rocking steadily
Whether the discs rotate
C#m
E
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
A
E
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,
D
E
the exit was too short
C#m
E
But it's my way or the highway,
C#m
E
so fuck what you thought
C#m
E
I'm after the gold
D
E
and after that the platinum
But wait, damn,
I promise no more quotes when I rap
C#m
E
But wait, I'm after the platinum,
after the gold
After those records failed
C#m
E
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,
D
E
C#m
E
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
C#m
E
Af ter the sun sets on my rap career
C#m
E
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
C#m
E
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?
E
Thanks watching!
