Verse 1
G
I'm coming at you
G
with a hatch and a spear
Just to capture your attention
A
Are you actually here?
G
What's happening here?
D
Who's this raggedy queer
G
D
Dancing with his spastic swagger
as if it's tantrum and rail
G
you think I'm rapping in here
G
to get a couple of slaps on the back
and a flag and a beer
A
while some socially challenged
chaps
G
straight chat to my ears
A
D
spit a slag in my ear man
G
D
I got raps in my ear
don't want you babbling nil
G
I'm not a part of this
my mind gets ripped apart
A
and it's a ripped apart an d I had a joke
to try and find the heart of it
G
A
but it wasn't anywhere to be found
D
G
I realize it's just a vegetable
D
like most of these clowns
Eb
D
so -called holding it down
Eb
D
but all they really do ing
G
Gm
is just holding it back back
back back back
C
G
Wop, wop, wop, we're keepin' movin' forward,
we're keepin' movin'
but back it's like that
C
G
Wop, wop, wop, we're keepin' movin' forward,
we're keepin' movin'
D
but back it's like that
G
You can tell me what to do,
E
D
Am
what to wear,
G
how I speak to you
D
G
You can tell me what to do,
E
Am
D
G
what to wear, how to speak
We do what we do,
cos we do what we do
D
Gm
D
We don't do it for you,
A
we just do what we do
D
G
And who are you to be telling
D
me what to do
G
and what to allude to
D
When we do an intuitive tune?
F#
Screw reviewers,
G
ain't nothing but a nuisance
Gm
I don't come and tell them how to rap
A
when they do a review
G
And the stupidest humans
D
need to contribute their opinion
G
To any single little thing
E
that anybody's doing
D
I'm fuming,
G
don't care if you don't like it,
care if you do
G
Maybe we do,
A
let's keep it between me and you
G
And me and you,
D
we speak about one or two things
G
D
Including the view,
maybe they don't give a whoop
Eb
D
What I am is what I am
Eb
D
and what I am is what I do
Gm
So what, what, what, what, what, what
C
What, what,
G
what, we keep on moving forward
We keep on moving
but back it's like that
C
Em
What, what,
G
what, we keep on moving forward
We keep on moving
D
but back it's like oh
G
You can tell me what to do,
E
D
Am
what to wear,
G
how I speak to you
D
G
You can tell me what to do,
E
Am
D
G
what to wear, how to speak
I went and got locked in my basement,
C
my mental cockpit
and I locked into the basics
G
So then hip -hop on concert rotation
Am
I stopped at every station
D
and say good day to the ancients
G
G
I tip my cap to the misters
that sketch a simple graph
A
and that you're in the frame
G
D
To change the world in a way
G
D
that we'll just remold and shape
F#
until there's no longer old break
G
Origami un fold for God's sake
A
I run my spot watch so I never walk straight
G
I never talk linear,
D
G
just talk of the idiots that rhymes
E
Eaug
E
and that can be tripped up to a division
Gm
G
It's a lonely, lonely, lonely,
G
A
lonely, lonely time
Gm
G
E
G
A
It's a lonely, lonely, time
Gm
