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