Am
Am
G
Em
All by myself, walking around
Am
Em
It's been too long since
I've seen anybody
Am
Em
what's going on right then a
Em
Esus4
come with me
A
Em
she said the council's ready to see you
i complied as if i didn't
have a choice
i couldn't even say nothing
Em
Am
she led the way and we started walking
Am
G
that kind of sparkled silence
G
Em
it was n't before a minute
G
Em
she said the first thing you need
A
G
to realize if you are dead
Em
D
Em
this is the first I froze up,
Am
G
lost Pascal's wager
Am
G
after greatness, she said
Em
A
G
When y 'all die where I pass your lives,
Am
G
for any other afterlife
Em
Am
G
You are a rapper, a backpacker, an MC,
Am
G
by other MCs
Em
Am
Be sides the shock of being dead,
G
Em
this gave me mixed feelings
What about injustice,
Em
Am
The whole thing was off the Richter,
Am
Em
and how many were on it?
D
G
Amina led me to a big set of double doors
A
G
Em
Was I in trouble or would it be alright?
Am
Em
Would I get a pass
G
Em
Then would I get it bad with
one switch motion?
Am
G
She pushes the double doors open
Am
G
I realized that she wasn't joking
Em
D
It was a smorgasbord,
A
G
a buffet of MCs
Em
D
A courtyard full, some friends,
D
Em
some of them were tired
A lot of cats were whack
Am
G
while some of them spit fire
Em
A
We kept on walking till we ran
Em
Esus4
Am
amina said this is how we kill
G
Em
time waiting for judgment
Am
Em
we be still kicking rhyme
but this kid's a biter
G
Em
i've even heard him spit
D
Am
somebody else's lyrics
D
A
we started walking this time
G
Em
towards the building but not before
i heard a bunch of oohs
G
Em
D
i guess that kid got the biz
Am
G
with the quickness
D
G
we all love spitting
A
G
of what looked like a courthouse
Em
D
amina now when we get
Em
Am
an d if they ever ask you to spit
you better be open to.
Em
Am
I swallowed hard, I wasn't prepared,
G
Em
I still didn't know what was going on
Am
G
or who would be there.
Am
Em
started straightening my gear,
A
Em
and whispered in my ear.
It's gonna be okay,
D
A
you're gonna do just fine,
G
Em
D
I got your back baby boy
G
Em
I realize that I've heard this before,
Am
G
this was Candace,
Em
Am
G
my girlfriend who died when the Compton effect hit the planet.
Em
D
Do I tell her I know who she is
G
Em
Almost 20 minutes till
D
G
the bailiff came and got me
The judge seat and the arrangements
was laid out in a 6x4 panel
Em
Am
That's 24 seats for 24 heirs,
Em
Am
24 hip -hop gods, oh sit there
Em
Am
All rise, we all rose,
Em
A
the judges trickled in in all black long robes
And call in question if I served
hip -hop honorably
your honors, by your leave
Em
Am
I request that my client be judged a dope
Em
Am
he started slowly shaking his head
as he read my jacket
Em
Am
KRS brought his face in a light,
he asked Ms. Kaplan,
D
G
am I reading this right?
Em
Esus4
This is the institution hip -hop
Am
Em
hasn't written enough bars
Am
Em
I can see the other judges unconvinced
But I sat there quietly
Esus4
Em
while Amina made my defense
Your honors, with all due respect,
G
Em
What about his depth
G
Em
Took a couple of tokes
Em
Am
So I decided to stand up
and speak for myself
Em
A
Your honors, I can see
Em
Bm
Am
If I may offer a solution, send me back
Em
A
One judge said we'll take a short recess
G
Em
I'm ready, here we go,
G
Em
With 24 hip -hop legends
Am
G
about to decide my afterlife
Em
Am
Mr. Square, after careful review
But we have no record
A
Am
we're sending you back
Give you a chance
Am
Em
And we'll hold you accountable
Em
D
We'll see you when we see you waiting
A
G

This court is adjourned
