Verse 1
(A minor) [talking]
Yeah... ladies and gentlemen...
Know what time it is... (it is a man's
world)... time to do this
You better be taping this (don't front,
girl.. come on)
*laughs* But you're probably
not... are you?
You are?? Alrite, then.... that's what I'm talkin
bout (you see?)
(E minor) Always prepared... (A minor) (C major) that's
(A minor) why they call him Two T's (F major) (E major)
(A minor) Welcome to my world...
[starts rapping] Where the quarter always gives you one life
Verse 2
So (A minor)
you better push your buttons just
right(welcome to (E major) my (A minor) world, world)
Where any given second,
anybody can get it
You better hold on tight (E minor)
(A minor) [echoes out]
'cause life can take a turn
for the worse
And have you switching from
the Coupe to the hearse
You better (E minor) peep this verse
The street (A minor) s ain't no joker,
man...
The sidewalks might get you first
So (E minor) wherever you rest you better
(A minor) don't sleep
'cause like Denzel said,
you could either be a wolf or a sheep
And that ain't even criminology
I'm talkin bout the everyday 9 to 5 people,
still gotta fight (E minor) the evil
You could (A minor) ride the fast lane or the train
The illest weapon you can load ain't your nine,
boy, load your (E major) brain
You ask (A minor) a real live gangsta and he'll
tell ya the same (you know)
A lot'a dummies die young, man,
simple and (E minor) plain (fa'real)
A lot'a kids want (A minor) to show they got heart
So they wild out,
(E minor) skip class (A minor) (come on man)
And trade book smarts for (E minor) streets smarts
(you know bet (A minor) ter than that)
But ask yourself,
even if you got one target
Ain't you better off with two darts?

Verse 3
In my world of (A minor) rent, bills, skills, business
MESS AROUND AND FIND OUT JUST
HOW REAL IT IS
(Welcome to my world (C major) of) Wins, losses,
(A minor) loyalties, promises
MESS AROUND AND FIND OUT JUST
HOW REAL IT IS
(Yo, yo, welcome to my world of)
Backstabbers, parasites,
slanderers, politics
MESS AROUND AND FIND OUT JUST HOW REAL
IT IS (Y'all don't want to know)
y'all don't even want to know
(nope) JUST HOW REAL IT IS
MESS AROUND AND FIND OUT JUST HOW
REAL IT IS (Welcome to my world of)
Verse 4
Bumps, bruises, scrapes, cuts, aches and blisters (A minor)
Typhoones, mysoones, earthquakes
(E minor) and twisters
It's the (A minor) picture my life fits in
My whirldwind rotates,
elevates and tran (E minor) scends
Watch me shine in the (A minor) streets
like some fresh new rims
Watch my enemies retreat
as I collect my (E major) wins
Every (E minor) (A minor) 25 thousand I start over again
To renew my history so skip
repentin my sin (E minor) s
Here's (A minor) some words of advice you
can share with'cha friends
Tell em not to fall victim to
the short term ends
Comin up fast,
I'm sure you'll impress the skins
But if you're too deep you're guaranteed
to catch the bends
You could spread news... north,
east, west and south
My universe will expand way
beyond New York
You got two ears,
two eyes and just one mouth
So look and listen both over
before you talk
I'm keepin all my enemies
outlined in chalk...
On the blackboard,
now did you get the wrong idea?
I suggest you change the currents
in your atmosphere
Once you get yourself together
Verse 5
I'll remain right here
(A minor) Rent, bills, skills, business
MESS AROUND AND FIND OUT JUST HOW
REAL IT IS
(E minor) Backstabbers [echoes... beat turns
off]
Hold up... (A minor) What the? What? Yo,
yo Joe what you doin in the vocal booth, man?
Oh, aight [beat changes to a
dance club beat]
Uhh... uhh... uhhh. uuhhh.. uhhh...
Just dance with me... dance with me
Ah.. yeah, just dance with me, dance
with me, dance with me
What'cha know bout that? Uh...
Just dance with me, dance with me
Uh- huh... Uh- ha... c'mon! (We really don't have time
for this...)[beat stops again]
(Let's get... let's get back on schedule,
aight?)
[beat switches back]
Verse 6
Aiyyo it's all real, every inhale, every exhale
(A minor)
Every extra breath from birth's
been a blessin
Plus I go through some professin and
confessin (stay calm)
I stay grounded with common sense
in my lessons (what?)
Life is a test,
I'm studyin not guessin (true)
I learn answers,
ask and answer questions
Like why is a chromosome,
(C major) axis, (A minor) cause and effect
So respect what the god's
(E minor) manifestin
You can't hes (A minor) itate but
you gotta be patient
And use wise words in every
conver (E minor) sation
You gotta stack (A minor) paper if you want
to stop chasin
There's not much time for cartoons
(E major) and PlaySta (A minor) tion
It stays true throughout every nation
Whether you be Yetti or Haitin
You are truly a (E major) patient
Spanish or (A minor) Asian,
even African or Caucasian
Huh, even if you was born
from clayma (E minor) tion
To live out (A minor) your birth right,
it takes preparation
Your job as a man is to be
the found (E major) ation
(A minor) 'cause All Of The Above
will be caused by (E minor) you
But yo, (A minor) man... [cuts off]... shouldn't need
no explanation... (E minor) whoo.. (A minor)
Talk a lot, might as well
(E minor) just give it to (A minor) em
Yo play the chorus of

Fat booties, baby mamas, twins, triplets
F AROUND AND FIND OUT
