Verse 2
Dm
I woke up in the morning on a regular day
I knew my man named R would be
around my way
E
Dm
Then he came over my house with
the drug base
I write records to rhyme before
the rest of the night
I said "R I don't do drugs,
or drugs are whack"
And ain't that base drug like a drug,
CRACK
E
Dm
He said no Solo, see base is the shit
Girls puff of base,
and everybody does it
And I thought I write a record a rhyme,
before I reach night
E
Dm
I said if that's true, but any case
I couldn't wait to write my
record after I smoke the base
It was my mom telling to watch
E
Dm
my sister 'till she gets home
I put my sister in the kitchen so
E
Dm
I could smoke the base
E
Dm
It had a funny taste but it didn't
taste bad I felt hot
That's when I got my pen and pad
I broke in a race
tried to run off my page
Then I grabbbed the
That I've seen running in my sight
I got a mind was happy when
I thought the rhyme was dead
Some leaf swong and caught
me square on the head
I fell on my floor and
The rhyme grabbed the knife
And cut my little sister
I thought it took her life
She fell on the floor, blood covered the rug
The rhyme was left and to my surprise
I knew something was bugged
E
Dm
I got on the phone to call the cops,
"what should I do?"
You'd did the same thing if
you was in my shoes
And hit me with a can
E
Dm
of ravioli in my eye
I fell on the floor look and when my
vision cleared
I looked around the house and
see the rhyme disappeared
I started to cry I said,
"Oh, what would my mom say?"
That's when I heard a cop pulled
up into the driveway
She came in the house she took
a look at the place
I knew this was the truth,
mom thought it was a lie
Some of y'll might even think it's

Dm

When they ran in my house and shut
up the block
I see my girl far coming to my house,
and my jaw dropped
'Till the rhyme appeared again
dressed in Santa Claus
He said, "Ho Ho Ho baby

And told me dead on my face my
girl was gonna get raped
I grabbed a stick,
E
Dm

seen him drop
But hen the rhyme disappeared
They were coming for me fast
I couldn't escape
Besides my girl was on the ground
butt- naked yelling and raped
One cop gave 'er a coat and
said "M.s are you alright?"
E
Dm
I told them my name, I tried to ex plain
They heard the side
of my story
They said "Boy you insane"

E
Dm

I said, "Man, I didn't rape 'her,

Dm
The cops tried to catch me, so I ran like hell
someone to tell
Dm
E
'Cause all these things were happening
I knew it was a rhyme
Dm
E
But who would believe me
E
Dm
Then my mom told the cops that I was high,
on base
I suddenly knew that I had to get the
up another block
Looked over my shoulders,
He said "Solo,
I said, "Thanks to you
the base and that pipe"
E
Dm
He started to laugh, said "Yeah right!"
He started laughing,
He said, "Yo Solo you had
E
Dm
To conclusion, enter my mind, I said
man pay me no mind
Dm
E
And when the door opened up,
to hit me in the head
hit P instead
I said this must be a nightmare
He was screaming on the floor
and there was blood everywhere
I got on the phone, called the cops
She went into shock
And when I hung up the phone,
cops was on the block
I stuck my head out the door, said,
"Help me the rhyme is in here"
But then he dropped the hammer,
again he disappeared
The cops kept asking
me how did he get hit
I kept trying to tell the cops
"Yo, the rhyme did it"
They didnt' buy it,
they said "Boy you're bug"
"You can save that rhyme story,
for the lawyer or the judge"
still wouldn't listen
five years in prision
They take me somewhere, far state
assault too and rape
Dm
E
My family won't talk to me, my
friends wont' see me
My girl now hates me,
dawned on me
It wasn't a rhyme it was just
in this place
This could happen to y'll if
No one will believe you, they'll
think you're telling a lie
E
Eb
And your life will become another,
