Verse 1
G 
F#m 
What you mean I ain't making
A 
G 
no money off this Hip- Hop shit?
Yeah, I know this is all I do is
F#m 
stay  up and make beats
G 
You know,
this is how we make our living
This is what the people want us to do
F#m 
Nah, I'm not gonna
G 
get a job there
And I'm not gonna work there,
nah, not at Gap
F#m 
Fuck it, hey, come over here, let's
G 
listen to Thes One (check it out)

Verse 2
It was me and Double K in
F#m 
my room in '95
Beatboxing on the mic,
G 
recording the tape live (live)
Before we arrived on the scene,
you know what I mean
F#m 
G 
When it was all about, I forgot,
man forget it (come on)
See now the P is sweated as
a global affair
F#m 
But it seems those closest to
G 
me seem the least to care
When it was "Rah- rah,
y'all can do it" back in the day
F#m 
Now it's like three hours deep and "When
G 
are you getting paid?"
My records are played,
I sleep smiling every night
F#m 
But when I wake  up, it's something else,
a whole new fight
G 
Like cats double crossing me,
that I try and help out
F#m 
If it wasn't for me and Double that shit
G 
wouldn't come out
So recognize whose the guys
devoting they life to it
F#m 
G 
Sacrificed stability to flex our ability
crew, the iller artillery
F#m 
I can't chill until we fulfill the plan
of having mic's in the hand
G 
The sole reason I was cast
down on this land
F#m 
Is to sit in front of the MPC and turn
G 
the bland into the Flambé
Things to play to make your day
F#m 
Same shit  ten years ago
I'm doing today
G 
And ten years from now,
F#m 
so don't ask how or even why (why)
B- boy for life,
fuck a suit and a tie
G 
'Cause I'll know I made a difference
on the day that I die
F#m 
Ayo, I b- boy for life
so fuck a suit and a tie

G 
Yeah, and I feel you man
F#m 
She be talking that ole bullshit, you know

You know, "Maybe you should get out

Or- or, "We can't spend enough time"

F#m 
Just like  you, Big Thes, man

this hip- hop shit (fuck it)

Think it was like  95- 96, when I

Verse 4
G 
Perfected my track skills on the SP
F#m 
Murdered ten   seconds in a minute,
G 
peers couldn't get it
Mike was walking on water,
my brother you shoulda seen it
F#m 
Got ate up in some rap battles,
G 
I'm here to redeem it
Like a rain check hustler,
scoping the aisles
F#m 
Shocking lyrics making beats
G 
just to keep it on file
With the ADAT Zip on the floppy
I'm never coming sloppy
F#m 
No reason    to copy niggas,
G 
I'm dope so go figure
Not conceited nigga,
I'm confident when I'm dropping it
F#m 
Hold  the microphone firm,
G 
let the lyrics burn
Like the Buddha to the Sherm
I'm mellow with one word, two
F#m 
let   it cage, bringing better
days when I bust
G 
Stay grounded with my head in
the clouds and that's a must
F#m 
Ya know, just a piece in my
G 
Hip- Hop black book
Outlining the track y'all
watch for the hook
F#m 
Filling in my ideas,
here to keep your style shook
G 
Never rapping like niggas just
to be in the game
F#m 
I'm coming from  the inside so y'all
remember my name
G 
Yo, it's the K  Dub, trouble bringing,
the notorious one
Bm 
Couldn't be stopped,
keeping these sucka crews on the run, ya dig it?
G 
No matter what y'all say, do or know
Bm

F#m 
maintaining   the, uhh
