Verse 1
D 
Just a minute, it's a little too controversial
and I don't think we're going to be...
Here comes that black.
Watch yourself, he's kind of smart.

This story began five years ago
Em 
D 
A 
D 
Took a funky idea and began to roll
By doing something that was never done
Em 
D 
While getting paid, still having fun
Being explicit,
straight from the streets
Not forgetting our roots
To an uptempo beat, taking what they say
Em 
Just for granted, for us  to give up
D 
That's what they wanted, to do it all
We be taking shorts
Em 
Cause at  that time
A 
D 
we were given no thought
To follow another we didn't see it
E 
D 
Where the example for others to see
In the beginning all we had was a phone
Em 
D 
And trust in each other
was how we lived on
Word was bond, we relied on truth
Em 
D 
Faith in each other backed up by luke
Middle class, church to the south
The king of the ghetto,
the man not a myth
Middle class, church to the south
Em 
D 
The king of the ghetto, the man not a myth
The king of the ghetto,
Em 
the man not a myth
D 
We fought. It was time.
First to the south,
Em 
D 
the beginning of the gate,
till the man not a minute.
The journey was long,
but we fought the struggle.
We paid off in the end
by the bundles in the beginning.
Some were against us,
but we proved them wrong
and made them innocent.
So we kept on writing,
the public kept on buying.
What we were making, they took a liking.
We found the market, hit the target.
Em 
We started the fire,
D 
but it's you who sparked it.
We stayed independent,
and we didn't sell out.
Em 
We started off with no help
D 
from the White House
The plot was perfect,
though we needed a gimmick
Em 
So we thought of this dance
D 
A 
D 
called Throw the Disney
In no time at all, things started growing
Em 
Charts were showing that
D 
sales were soaring
Then all the talking, all the squawking
E 
They tried to take the name,
A 
D 
but keeps down walking
Get on the side, crunch to the sound
The finger to get it,
show the man not a man
Get on the side, crunch to the sound
The finger to get it,
A 
D 
show the man not a man
The finger to get it,
show the man not a man

D 
just us when it's just us any
circumstance we must overcome
let's keep the dream alive
and all get some and never mind those
people with those negative vibes
and never mind
the people with the evils eyes
cuz they are flipping somewhere
out on a trip
cuz they don't understand
