When

Verse 1
A5 
D 
a motherfucker steps out of his place
And gets slapped in his
motherfuckin' face
Bm 
Just because the mothafucka
tried to base us
A5 
Am 
But G .O. digged it, but G .O. digged it
A5 
D 
And while I see this whole
clique passes by
Mothafuckas think they qualify
Bm 
And for those niggas want to try
A5 
Then G .O. digged it, then
Am 
A5 
G   .O. digged it
D 
Yeah, I'm not caught up in politics
I'm no black activist
on a so -called scholar's dick
Bm 
B 
I   come through with the
Bm 
woo and drop math
A5 
Am 
B 
And versatile freestyle bombs
A 
up on the graphs
D 
And deliver all things
in number and weight
Search the depth on how
living things relate
Bm 
Cause at a young age
A5 
I was molded in a religion I relied on
Am 
And got caught up in superstition
D 
Scared to split poles, dunk black cats
Once in a while threw salt over my back
Bm 
But with knowledge of self,
I morphed a shell
Am 
Made things seem complicated,
now I'm small like elves
D 
So turn off the lights, light a candle
Have a seance, pull a lid
off the demarked scandal
Bm 
Widgets, warlocks,
spokes and holy ghosts
A 
Am 
RZA, let's defraud the hoax
D 
When a mothafucka steps out his place
And gets slapped in his goddamn face
Bm 
Just because the nigga
already tried to base
A5 
Am 
A5 
The G .O .D., the G   .O .D.
A 
D 
And while I see his whole
clique passes by
Mothafuckas think they qualify
Bm 
And for those niggas want to try
A 
A5 
E 
The G .O .D., the G   .O .D.
F#m 
D 
We    were on the same ship
when the slaves were checked
I had to put your card,
you was on the top deck
Bm 
So I plotted my escape
Am 
I sort of been lying between love and hate
A 
Fast from the hog on the plate
D 
I suffered brutal pain from
whips and chains
Punishments that was set to wash the brain
Bm 
So look, listen, observe
Am 
and also respect this jew el
A 
Draw it up, detect and reflect this light
D 
I  shine because of my power
to refine
Through the truth which
manifests
through eternal minds
Bm 
B 
Purified gases and masses
Am 
The same elements that help
spark civilization crashes
A5 
D 
I see brothers quote mad plus degrees
Lip -infesting ass niggas
can't feed their own seeds
Bm 
When a nigga steps out, it's place
A 
And get slapped in his
Am 
motherfuckin' face
A5 
D 
Just because the nigga
already tried to pace
But G .O .D., but G .O .D.
Bm 
While I see this whole place
pass his vibe
B 
Am 
Motherfuckers think they qualify
D 
And for those niggas want to try
The G .O .D., the G .O .D.
Bm 
When a motherfucker steps out his place
Am 
And get slapped in his goddamn face
D 
Just because the nigga
already tried to pace
But G .O. G .O. did
Bm 
And while I see this whole clique
pass it's rock
Am 
Motherfuckers think they qualify
D 
But for those niggas want to try
Bm 
B 
The G .O. did, the G .O. did
