Verse 1
E 
I was
raised to the sound of the 70s
Earth, wind, and fire sounded so heavenly
E 
Ohio playazan, Curtis Mayfield,
Aretha Franklin's
E 
picture on a playbill
Al Green in a tight suit, all white,
G 
Mini Ripper sayin' high notes all night
E 
Moms even had a box full of 45s,
put the needle down, yeah,
that sound sorta live
Sound like the kinda groove
G 
I could rap over,
got drunk off the beat then I
was back sober
E 
Bring that part back, yeah,
I'ma murder that,
G 
Donnie Hat on the track
E 
with Roberta Flack
Hot records, in the bag
G 
Sneak them out before
she notice that they gone
E 
Gotta think, I don't know
Should I rap off my mom's
favorite song?
Better hope I don't scratch it, that's it
I'ma get my ass kicked,
that's a classic
E 
Can't explain that,
I was just borrowing it
Mom's on a rampage
looking for a parliament
E 
And Donny Hathaway feeling
like a castaway
Hiding in grandmom's room
more than half the day
E 
If I tell her that a parliament at Bryan crib
and nobody home now,
I'ma be a crying kid
But it's seeming like I'm safe
for the time being.
My uncle getting all the blame
for as I'm seeing
E 
I  just gotta lay low like a snake belly.
It's a sticky situation like grape jelly
E 
I'm on a Titanic or some other boat.
Got my mother and her brother
E 
at each other's throats
Martin! What? Why you bother
in my record?
I ain't touch your record!
I know you was in my record!
I nothing with your record!
You better hope mommy
never find out,
cause if she does then, that's your ass
E 
You know damn well, if you touch one,
and you get caught,
E 
E 
that'll be your last
The final act, Brian's at the door
with a black and red knapsack
E 
Came to bring the vinyl back,
I put it back before anybody notices
He said, call, I said, yeah, I know this is
E 
But I got away with it like
the perfect crime
And made the fresh tape,
man, it was worth the time
E 
And aggravation and stress
almost made a mess
She'd have found out it's me,
she would have laid the rest
But I'm over like a fat rat
That was smart, it's a good thing
E 
you hid him in that backpack
It feels so good to get that out the way
G 
Now I'm out the door, back out to play
E 
I'm about to say,
G 
these are the good times like chic
Cm 
G 
C 
And then I hear my mom shriek Duvall!
Get back in here! -oh.
How did my record get scratched?
I know you did it.
Go get my belt.
Come on, Ma. That's it.
Get my belt. Now!
Come on, Ma.
