Then that goodness is
(A minor) from The Creator

to The Creator for all of that
'Cause I'm not the
architect (G major) of that
I'm only the, (A minor) the recipient
If you see (G major) weakness or
shortcoming in (A minor) me
It's from my own weakness
or short (B minor) coming
And I ask The Creator and the people to
(G major) forgive me for (A minor) that
Thank you Brooklyn, (D major) thank you world (G major)
Yeah, yeah (A minor) there it is

Verse 3
Listen
(A minor) I stepped on the (D major) field from no
league just home team
I jumped out the stands and
I snatched the rock
With the (A major) final seconds
+one to land (G major) on the clock
Mos (B minor) post up to throw up the
(C major) tie- breakin' (E minor) shot
(A minor) I put it through the net and let
the (D major) world's jaw drop
Then fled the arena be
(A minor) fore they called cops
Tell the players and the coach
I wasn't trying to blow spot
But the way they (D major) was ballin'
made (G major) it difficult to watch
I (A minor) was taught when there's somethin'
you can (D major) change (A minor) around
Keep (D major) quiet,
you got nothin' to complain about
(A minor) You got work to do,
I (G major) don't know if that work for you
(B minor) But that's how Mos (C major) work it (E minor) through
And my (A minor) work is personal,
(G major) I'm a working per (D major) son
I put in work, (A minor) I work with purpose
I get it there, on the water,
air, the surface
You feel the impact? Niggas
yeah it's (G major) working
Listen (A minor) God did not make me
a fearful person
The only fear I have,
is my failure to adhere his path
(A major) I would love it just (G major) to hear this back
On the (B minor) ghetto streets where y'all (G major) at
On (E minor) the ave's where the (A minor) Jeep's go past
In the coupes where the seats go back
In the parties where it be so packed
And the atmosphere be so black
And them black things be so phat
If I could I would (G major) be so glad
(A minor) But if not I won't be so mad
I'm still being a man,
still feeding my fam'
And even (A major) if you don't see it my fam
(G major) I believe that I (B minor) am,
truly gifted, (C major) truly (E minor) blessed
(G major) I'm yours truly,
Brook (D major) lyn's own, Mos Def
I'm rocking the hard (A minor) right,
ground zero, to far left
I'm, well balanced, with immense talents
Burn the script,
then flip it to (D major) keep myself (G major) challenged
(A minor) And that's the (D major) mark of
a true champion
That's whether I'm in or outside the ring
No (A minor) fights, no title, no (G major) crown or reign
Feel my (B minor) presence even when
I'm up (C major) out this (E minor) thing
Just trust, (A minor) that's what I'm about to be
But (D major) un til then settle in and (A minor) rock with me
Verse 4
Ha, (A minor) that's what its about to be
(D major) Ghetto people look alive with (G major) me
And say, (A minor) we 'goin, stop by
(D major) Then we (A minor) just keep moving on
Ghetto people, look (G major) alive and
Feel (B minor) free, we just keep (C major) moving (E minor) on
For (A minor) Aaliyah, Left Eye, Jam Master Jay
All the great hero's who
have passed away
Scott Laraque, Big and Pac,
Freaky Tai, Big (G major) L
(A minor) All the soldiers locked down in the cell
Lock up the flesh, but the spirit will (D major) prevail
(A major) To our loved ones, (G major) and deceased
(B minor) Dyin' in the street,
or (C major) quiet in their (E minor) sleep (A minor) (B.I.G.)
Rest in peace,
your living in the mansions of our memory
Rest in peace,
your living in the mansions of our memory
(G major) And that's (A minor) real
'Cause everything (D major) in life
gon' come to an end
(A major) (G major) Because it (B minor) must, (C major) and (E minor) when it (A minor) does
I (D major) hope that (G major) y'all re (A minor) member me
With true respect
(D major) And ghetto love
Now (G major) raise it (A minor) up
