Mourning For The Art chords by Peace 586
Verse 1
Am
I heard the word being spoken,
it broke me down
Made me check myself,
made me spin right round
Found myself doubting myself
at what I could do
Didn't believe in myself,
yo I thought I was through
Stopped chilling with the crew,
stopped sampling too
Thought it was a little something
that I had outgrew
But when you call,
there's little that you can do
God gon' make sure that
Em
Am
you continue until it's finished
I know I'm supposed to be in this,
not only from the 15 years experience
Yeah, that speaks louder
than most of y tracks
I still felt that I lacked
and I was being held back
But what was holding me was me,
I wasn't rolling with the beat
My head was swollen from
the heat I brought previously
You see, pride,
it comes right before the fall
And of all the things I thought I was,
E
Am
I never thought this I gave until I heard,
man,
was up in the lab with the crew
Putting to work, man,
pushing the past
and my hand was turned blue,
man then we get stabbed in the back,
E
you don't do that to the tunnel rats
Am
Feels like I lost a good friend today,
opened up my pad to an empty page
No writing, just mourning,
no glaring, no transforming
Feels like I lost a good friend today,
opened up my pad to an empty page
No writing, just mourning,
no glaring, no transforming
I remember the first day,
hearing you on the block
and you don't stop
Everybody rock, check the wordplay
The start of something so fresh
You fought hard and
demanded your respect
On these cardboard streets,
banging out beats
The only one to bring peace
to the East and the West Indies
Independent, not hard from the start
And you love being free,
so I'm the son that you raised on the East Coast
Seth Static represent my Dones and Lopes
And through you,
God gave me a vision
Put his promise in this music
and get them all to listen
Listen, I'd rather use this tool
to reach those lost
than teach those few
who've made them do's that cost
and speak life to the world
E
and all more in the art.
Am
Feels like I lost a good friend today.
Open up a pad to an empty page.
No writing, just mourning.
No glaring, no transforming.
Feels like I lost a good friend today.
Open up a pad to an empty page.
No writing, just mourning.
You possess a raw talent
but chose not to use it
Say it's not the will of God
and call it devil music
Or rather rap to your friends
and pretend that's real
Try and take the dap
so they pat on the back
and pay your bill
You starting your own growth,
you need to feed your mind
Get close to the word
and get away from those lies
Focus on the vision,
to know what God sent you
The art lives in you
so stop killing your potential
If I remember it right,
it was me and the music
Just waiting for God
to show me
how I would use it
I spent time away but it was needed for me,
for me to grow until the
calling of being an MC
It's not about the skills
but the heart of the song,
I learned it while I was gone
Now I'm back and I'm strong,
I miss the old ways
Cause y 'all just don't get it,
the art will never be lost
cause we just won't let it
Feels like I lost a good friend today,
opened up my pad to an empty page
No writing, just mourning,
no glaring, no transforming
Feels like I lost a good friend today
Opened up my pad to an empty page
No writing, just mourning
Em
Am
No flaring, no transforming
Bye.
