Verse 1
(A minor) They say just go to school
and get (E minor) your degree
and (G major) you'll be fine
You'll never be (B flat major) J .I (A minor) .D,
look at your clock, you're wasting time
Look mama, I'm gon' be fam (F major) ous,
won't (E minor) you sit down and (A minor) hear me rhyme
(E minor) Just smile and (B flat major) show your (E minor) ivories,
(A minor) cause your boy is next in line
They tell you go (E major) to school,
get (A minor) a job, get a car, get a crib
Get (E minor) a wife, have kids,
then (B flat major) die, and (F major) that's it
Be a rapper?
Oh no, better (B flat major) get that 4 (F major) -0
Get (E minor) high and work (A minor) hard then retire
The thing is so easy for me
since I got that diploma
But (E minor) it's just (G major) harder to (B flat major) do
what (F major) I wanna
Everybody tellin' me the
(B flat major) path I should (F major) take
And (A minor) it don't involve droppin'
CDs or mix (F major) tapes
(A minor) Well, let me think about what I'ma do
Live (E minor) my life for me
and live (B flat major) my life for (E minor) you (G major)
(B flat major) Educated people don't be
feelin' me
(A minor) They sayin' why rap?
That ain't no kinda sta (F major) bility
Leav (E minor) in' work (A minor) late,
goin' straight to record
Hop (E minor) in' one day that I could
(B flat major) top Bill (F major) board
Blockin' out the fear, (B flat major) I gotta persevere
(F major) After (E minor) all,
Ross (A minor) kept goin' after 12 years
They say just go to school
(F major) and get (G major) your degree
(E minor) And (G major) you'll be (F major) fine
(G major) You'll never be (F major) J .I (A minor) .D.
Look at your clock, you're wasting time
Look, mama, I'm gon' be fam (F major) ous
Won't (E minor) you sit down and
(A minor) hear me (F major) rhyme
(E minor) Come on, just smile and
(F major) show your Ivories
(A minor) cause your boy is next
He was the older brother of my friend
People said that I looked like his (E minor) twin
First (G major) time we clicked (A minor) up we started (F major) talking
I quickly told (B flat major) him I was on a mission,
I (F major) got a vision
(A minor) Every song that I be spittin'
is purpose driven
He gazed at me lookin' half impressed
(F major) Other half lookin' (E minor) like
he still (B flat major) wasn't sure (F major) yet
I (G major) ain't on my first (B flat major) tour yet,
I ain't even (F major) signed
But (A minor) he said if I don't think that I'm
a star I can't (F major) shine
(A minor) Dang, that kind of made a lot (F major) of sense,
(E minor) made me kind of tense,
(G major) then he kept (F major) going
He said I got a lot of sides
(B flat major) that I ain't (F major) showing,
an (E minor) d being like (A minor) them
ain't gonna keep my bread growing
He (E major) said I can't cry when (A minor) I lose like Owens,
(E minor) huh, I (B major) gotta keep (A minor) go ing
Pretty (F major) soon I fell (G major) out with his brother,
(A minor) my partner,
without even (E minor) knowing,
(E major) but I guess (A minor) I gotta keep going, right?
They say just go to school
(F major) and get (G major) your degree
and you'll be fine
You'll never be J .I (A minor) .D,
look at your clock, you're wasting time
Look mama, I'm gon' be fam (F major) ous,
won't (E minor) you sit (E major) down and (A minor) hear me rhyme
(E minor) Just smile and (B flat major) show your (F major) ivories,
(A minor) cause your boy is next in line
Yeah, (E major) at this point I'm
(A minor) in too deep,
I put my (G major) heart into my (B major) music
I (G major) be rappin' in (C major) my sleep,
(G major) before rap it (A minor) was hoop hoop
Rappin' and (E major) hoopin',
ordinary black (A minor) youth
Now look at (E major) me,
I'm the (A minor) pride of the Augustine fam
It (E minor) is what (B major) it is, (G major) I am who (A minor) I am
(E minor) All eyes (G major) on me,
(B flat major) can't be mediocre (A minor)
No sir, can't fool, this ain't poker
My lil' cousin look at me like
I'm a superstar
He think (E minor) that just because I rap
I drive (A minor) the newest car
But (E minor) this game ain't (F major) with a sim, (B flat major) cousin
It's totally differ (E minor) ent when you be
(A minor) hind the scenes, cousin
But this is what (E minor) I know,
(E major) a dream (A minor) ain't a dream if it ain't (E minor) yours
You (B major) can't paint they picture,
you gotta (A minor) paint yours
(G major) Too much paint on one (A minor) picture,
the picture blurs
(E major) Then your (A minor) picture ain't clear anymore,
no sir
They say just go to school
and get (G major) your degree
And you'll be fine
You'll never be J. or (A minor) D
Look at your clock, you're wasting time
Look mama, I'm gon' be famous
Won't you sit down and hear me rhyme
Just smile and show your ivories
Cause your boy is next in line
