Verse 2
We in (G major) a world that places heavy
(B minor) emphasis on money synthes (G major) is
(D major) Y'all can be my witnesses
That a (G major) fella fascination
with money has (A flat major) grown
To (G major) the point that (D major) he will shit on his own
We got to (E minor) have it, y'all,
its not a Spike Lee (G major) cinematic
A piece of (D major) paper making
niggas get dramatic
(G major) But the money doesn't
come automatic
Gotta (D major) motivate ourselves to go
and grab it (then go get it)
We got to (E minor) get it, y'all, (G major)
in an orderly fashion (uh, say word)
Some cats go about it (D major) with too
much passion (G major) (uh)
We got to mediate our greedy
levels (or what?)
'Cause the lust of currency can have
us (D major) sleeping with the devil (E minor) (true)
Gotta recognize it, realize the (G major) power
That this little (D major) motherf- ing piece
of paper will devour (G major) (come on)
Man can be greater than
the (D major) thing he creates
See, I'ma do my thing and see
how much I can scrape
Yo, (G major) I'd rather have (E minor) re spect than (G major) money,
no doubt
But listen to me, (D major) y'all,
I want the mass amount
That the (G major) Sesame Street
Dracu (D major) la can't (G major) count
So that I can give my people when
that thing surmounts
To higher (E minor) levels of being,
so when I'm MC- ing (what?)
I (G major) hope to see you there steady
G- ing (say word)
But the only way we can truly (D major) reach that (G major) goal
Is finding true (D major) inner peace
and prospering (G major) souls
It's (E minor) like that (uh)
Verse 3
All we want in this life Is (G major)
peace, prosperity (C sharp major) and a little
(D major) paper (G major) (yeah, yeah)
(D major) Objects, they seem seem greater
(G major) But I'm sure we'll overcome when
we illin' on the drum (Big Mu in the house)
All (E minor) we want in this life (turn the party
(D major) out)
Is peace, prosperity and a little
paper (G major) (yeah, yeah)
Objects, they seem seem (D major) greater
(G major) But I'm sure we'll overcome
when we illin' on the drum
Verse 4
Here (E minor) comes your royal highness,
(G major) one of (D major) Queens' finest
Believe me, (G major) honest,
you know you can't (F major) stop it
Come (G major) on, son,
never leave your mic 'round me
True MC, for (D major) real, ask my man,
(G major) Shaheed
Strictly focused on what
I'm in this rap game for
(D major) Not for fame and screwing
every whore after whore
With all (G major) that AIDS stuff going 'round,
tell (D major) me how that sound
Rather (G major) hit the studio and hear some
(D major) beats that pound
Now, (E minor) don't get me wrong,
I love (G major) honeys galore
But see hip- hop's my bread and butter,
'cause (D major) that's what I get paid for
See this is what (G major) I wanted,
Allah helped me to get it
And if the beat (D major) is wicked,
you know Malik will rip it
From (E minor) the bottom of my heart,
that's where the love starts
(G major) The love for break dancing,
(D major) my love for the art
An (G major) d with this love,
I do hip- (D major) hop from the soul
A real MC, (G major) who never (D major) sweats
how many copies are sold
Yeah, I (E minor) want to go gold,
platinum, uh- huh, (G major) etcetera
But why put out some (D major) wackness when no
one will respect ya
(G major) I'm staying true 'nough respect
to those that paved the way
From (D major) Bambaata down to Shah,
that be my DJ
(G major) Without my (E minor) peeps I don't know (C major) how
the hell (G major) I'd make it work
Sometimes I feel that my ca
(D major) reer is headed for the curb
(G major) One love for lending hand
and giving all your help
Believing (D major) in me when I didn't
believe in my own self
(E minor) The Abstract with who I'm always
making rugged tunes
(G major) Kid Hood resting in heav (D major) en,
I hope to see you soon
(G major) I keep things hot and this year
they're even hotter
(D major) Big Mu and Shah, one day,
I'll take my (G major) shahada
