MESSAGE***
Yo, I don't know where to (E minor) start,
Uh check it out, (D major) music is (A minor) - my total
existence dawg straight up,
Everything in (E minor) my life
revolves around music,
(A minor) It's like. you can't get a
relationship 'cuz...
I'm still (E minor) with. my first love (A minor) which is music,
You know what I'm sayin'? fo 'real,
The reason I'm here (E minor) is. is J.Dilla just like that (F major) (E minor) (A minor) peace,
(E minor) ***END OF MESSAGE***
**PRE- SAVED,
NEXT MESSAGE**
Yea, yea (D major)
(E minor) It started with (A minor) rhythms I heard listenin' to the wall,
The bouncin' of (E minor) basketballs on playgrounds (B minor) an' all,
The empty bottles (A minor) that's hollow,
wind blowin' inside 'em,
The flow and the (E minor) rhym in' got my
alignment to a Science,
Mixin' with my moms in the kitchen
them spoons (A minor) rattlin',
Pots and pans (E minor) faucet water pourin'
tunes managin',
To come from all the (F major) fussin'
and ramblin'
What I (A minor) noticed was (E minor) - pure music
untampered with,
By things (D major) show biz (A minor) does; older
thugs showed us stuff,
Like how to hold a plug,
juice from the (E minor) street light,
It almost could (B minor) have blowed us up,
Crates of (A minor) records; great sessions
had the whole hood jammin',
Large speakers fresh (E minor) made; smell
the (A minor) wood sandin',
Father did his blues smooth
legendary jazz man,
Saw his wife (E minor) secondary to
his true passion,
Started with (F major) my crew rappin' new
jacks (A minor) in (E minor) '82,
Never looked back now (D major) look what
it changed me to. (A minor) music.
We gotta believe the future, (E minor)
We gotta believe (B minor) the pas (E minor) t,
(A minor)
We gotta believe in more,
(E minor) Didn't know that we (A minor) haaave,
We gotta believe each other,
(E minor) We gotta open up our minds,
(F major) Cause music (A minor) is for (E minor) liiife.
for life (D major)
***NEXT MESSAGE***
Uh, (B minor) what's the dif (E minor) ference
between (A minor) me and you?
It's I'ma real kind (E minor) show this
rap shit (B minor) I'd really do it,
My whole (A minor) life man is really music,
Through my base line I'm livin'
through (E minor) it,
Another expression (A minor) of life
I couldn't live without,
(D major) I like my music (A minor) pure - not
(E minor) watered down,
Damn! it felt good to (F major) fulfill the dreams
of gettin' (A minor) out the hood,
(E minor) Kept me busy gave ma a chance
(D major) to stop sellin' drugs,
(B minor) Spinnin' (A minor) time in the basement
kept me from actin' up,
Zonin' (E minor) out; wishing Dre
(B minor) could check it out,
(A minor) I'm here now I can't believe
it; proof in the Puddin',
Everything (E minor) happened for a reason,
(A minor) Through this music I'm
able to feed the family,
When I'm stressed (E minor) out

(E minor) It's a life style (F major) all in the streets
and in (A minor) Hollywood,

(D major) ***NEXT MESSAGE***
Keep the music (E minor) alive,
The good and (A minor) the strong survive,
I closed my eyes and imagined
I was Jack (B minor) son Five,
(A minor) Randy and Michael goin'
through life cycle,
Music alive leader - let life go
So vital to a youngster comin' up
amongst street hustlers
The big be the toucher's since
such a special place
Giv (E minor) in' the ghetto (F major) a taste of what
freedom is (A minor) like,
I reached (E minor) a point in my life where I
(D major) was needin' the mic',
No second (A minor) guessin' self- expression an' lessons learned,
Agression became sessions
where session (E minor) s burned,
Put (B minor) my soul (A minor) in to it,
now my feet is firm,
And the game - where name
is hard to earn,
And hot cat's careers (E minor) get scarred
(A minor) and burned through the years,
mine took a godly (E minor) turn,
this is the story of (F major) my life here
trapped in a (A minor) verse,
No matter (E minor) money or the movies
- music is (D major) first, yea. (A minor)
We gotta believe the future, (E minor)
We gotta believe the pas (A minor) t,
We gotta believe in more,
(E minor) didn't know that we had (A minor) it,
