Verse 1
(D minor) (F major) (D minor) [Pops]
Hey, hey old (F major) bean
And you to baby sweetness
(D minor) Yeah, this is Pops, (F major)
and I'm back in the studio
And I didn't have to break (D minor) in this time
(F major) I'm back as a special guest by
special (D minor) request
And I want to thank my (F major) son for loaning me
this microphone once (D minor) again
They may have to (A minor) wrestle
to get it back
You know, as a res (D minor) ult of my son
Common touring the world (A minor) (C major)
Pops (A minor) has acquired (F major) a (D minor) wonderful
extended family (A minor)
From around the globe
He has returned (D minor) (A minor) with positive
messages to my earlobes
From all (G major) my children (D minor) From Mexico,
Brazil, (A minor) Italy, Japan
(F major) And of course in the motherland (A minor)
Even in the orient, they know what I meant
(D minor) (A minor)
Nanaan, tanaan, tinaan, hanchinaan
So I didn't come in
here to give any shouts out
(F major) I came to give praise and honor and
to (D minor) identify my children
Who've been (F major) saying and
doing the right things
You know they sat on those
(D minor) nines of (F major) (C major) 1999
And kept them (F major) from turning
upside down (D minor)
And teaching (A minor) the babies (F major) (D minor)
To love, (F major) to be able to give love
And to (D minor) enter the new century
with their (F major) own prophecy
The (D minor) cen tury of amends
(F major) You see I deal with the premise
that all (D minor) children are ours
And that we all (F major) travel
the same path (C major)
(A minor) It's just that we don't (D minor) get there
at (F major) the same time
(C major) (See you next (A minor) lifetime) See
you next lifetime (D minor)
And to my children running around (A minor) here
Talking about how nice
is they ice
(G major) That they've already
(D minor) paid for twice
What karat is they (A minor) gold
That was yours before
you were done in (D minor) the hole
Or that crew (A minor) from 1629, buy
some land (D minor)
Think (A minor) agriculture; beat
that (F major) neighbor (D minor) hood
Which you claim (A minor) you love so dear
(G major) Are you man (D minor) kind or what kind of a man? (F major)
(A minor) See, Pops is straight out of (D minor) the garden
From when the world
(A minor) was starting brand new, (C major)
Hip (D minor) Hop, Hip (A minor) Hop,
the language of the underground railroad
In it's purest form (F major)
(G major) Yeah true (D minor) hip hop is just like
the Underground Railroad
(A minor) If the message is (G major) not for you (A minor)
(D minor) It can sit on your nose and your brain
remain (F major) froze (G major) (D minor)
So when you see me traveling
(F major) on a spiritual high
I'm flying (D minor) high with Cee- Lo
(F major) Or maybe watching my long's heart
dancing to a De (D minor) La flow
Everybody knows (A minor) there's no fruit on
the (G major) tree with The (D minor) Root s
And Black (A minor) Star said (F major) we are
what we are
The Know (A minor) ledge Of Self Determination
(D minor) And my little homie (A minor) (G major) KG
Up there in Min (A minor) nesota milking
(D minor) 10000 lakes
(F major) Keep the heat on (G major) em',
we (A minor) got to be kind (F major) to the growing mind (A minor) (F major)
(G major) So if your heart is real (D minor)
You will hear Big (F major) Will and Ms. (G major) Lauryn Hill
If your (D minor) love is true,
you will hear (A minor) Badu- ism (D minor)
And you can't go right (F major) until you go left
And (G major) get some in (D minor) gredients from the music
chef (A minor) Jazzy Jeff (G major) (D minor)
Children, (A minor) I've traveled this globe (C major)
(F major) North (D minor) to south, (F major) east to (A minor) west
(G major) And whenever my soul (A minor) appears lost
(D minor) I turn to the musical (A minor) (F major) stylings of a
Tribe Called Quest (C major) (A minor) (D minor) (A minor)
(F major) Okay, we ready to get out of here
We (D minor) ready to take it home now (A minor)
Just so everybody knows
When Pops get ready to say
something (D minor) good
I mean when it's time for (F major)
me to lay it on (G major) the wood (F major)
(D minor) An d it ain't no (F major) time for no (A minor)
(F major) (G major) shecky shecky
That's when I turn to a Black
Girl Named (D minor) Betty (F major) (G major) (F major) (D minor) (A minor)
Y'all looking for (G major) the only truth (D minor)
and it doesn't even exist (A minor) (F major) (G major)
(D minor) I just (A minor) come to give love and peace and honor to all
Outro 1
