Verse 1
Ay (E minor) yo,
stick me in your tape deck (D major) I'm a cassette
You could (E minor) record demos on me,
(D major) crackheads try to bong me
(E minor) Jakes even use me to re
(D major) cord statements
(E minor) Play me back,
get caught and catch (D major) life in the basement
No (E minor) doubt I could be used
for many (D major) a purpose
Never (E minor) place me on a magnetic surface (D major)
I might catch (E minor) amnesia and
for (D major) get what I know
I re (E minor) call being played
in a fucked (D major) up Pinto
The (E minor) deck got hot, ate me (D major) up till I popped
The owner (E minor) pressed stop, then ejected (D major)
Tossed out the (E minor) window neglected,
by the (D major) curb I lay
Shorty, (E minor) walking to school,
picked me (D major) up the next day
He (E minor) put me in a
(D major) Sony Walkman and pressed play
I (E minor) snagged up again, he took me (D major) out,
passed me to his friend
(E minor) His friend fixed me, taped (D major) me up,
now I'm crispy
Back (E minor) together, better than (D major) ever
Now I'm (E minor) limping in the inside
(D major) pocket of his leather
His (E minor) moms didn't want him having (D major) me,
said I promoted profan (E minor) ity
She hated, but (D major) he loved it
Ay yo, he (E minor) threw me in his dude's
tape (D major) deck and he dubbed it
Gave a (E minor) copy to his friend,
my (D major) dub is my twin
My (E minor) content gets under their skin, (D major) since
Since (E minor) back in the days of (D major) (E minor) NWA, parents been
throwing me away (D major) (E minor) (D major) (E minor)
(D major) (E minor) (D major)
Never (E minor) put me in your box
if your (D major) shit eats tapes
(E minor) I let my tape rock till
my tape popped
Ay yo, my father was an 8- track,
my (D major) son is a DAT
You could re (E minor) cord demos on me,
I (D major) told you before
Cop (E minor) me at the bootlegger in
front (D major) of the liquor store
Cause of (E minor) me bootleggers,
(D major) rappers was slappin' 'em
(E minor) Sell a million of me and (D major) go platinum
Ask (E minor) Funk Flex and Big Kap (D major) and 'em
Ay yo, (E minor) DJs bought
the vinyl (D major) out of the crate
Sit (E minor) it on the turntable,
then (D major) watch it rotate (E minor)
33 RPM, re (D major) volutions per minute
A (E minor) flex of the wrist,
now the scratch (D major) is invented
Pull (E minor) s the crossfader now
the (D major) blend is authentic
He (E minor) shouts out the crowd,
they re (D major) spond like guns
Grace (E minor) fully take a bow,
compet (D major) ition is won (E minor) (D major) (E minor)
(D major)
Never (E minor) put me in your box
if your (D major) shit eats tapes
(E minor) I let my tape rock till (D major) my tape (E minor) (D major) (E minor)
(D major) popped
