Verse 1
(A minor) Rap is our way of life,
that's why we do what (G major) we like.
(A minor) Born to (A major) rock (A minor) the (G major) mic like E .F. (A minor) Hut t,
so don't say noth (E major) ing.
Yo, yo, I am the (A minor) man called Scorpio,
the one that's seen and never heard.
But all my sons just runnin' they mouth,
(G major) so it's time for Daddy to
speak his (A minor) words.
You see the babies crawlin'
by all the MCs,
and I look good.
And they are ugly
while they all get together
sayin' I'm not cool.
The girls is out, bein' my fool.
Cause I'm the first attract (G major) ive, (A minor) exotic male
To walk around town
with beads in his hair
To be stopped on the street
by the people I meet
Saying, (G major) where you get your beads?
Cause you look so sweet
Hey, (A minor) for any fellas that think I'm gay
I pull five girls right in your face
I'm not saying that I'm
the playboy king
Cause I didn't make it up, but I made it swing
I spend more on (G major) spice
than they (A minor) do on clothes
So how could they front that?
They got gusto
They just barely make enough
for a gram of dough
To start hoping and praying
for their next show
But a brother like (A major) me could (A minor) rock it all day
I'm much smarter than that,
in my own way
And you know what I'm (F major) saying
is a (A minor) natural fact
Cause mama said he's outside,
where there's a Hey!
Check me out while I run my game
Just not another MC
can make me feel shame
My name is Cowboy, not giving no slack
I'm like four, five, six,
better known as Headcracker
I've been rocking that party
eight years of my life
Got shot with a (G major) gun, stabbed with a knife
(A minor) Had to pay my dues, (G major) had to learn the rules
Had to separate the (A minor) smart
from all of the fools
People talk behind my back
and never look to my face
But they make a clear path
when I step in their place
I can make them clap their hands,
stomp their feet
Make them party to the (G major) rhythm
seven (A minor) days a week
Make them shiver and shake
just like an earthquake
Make the people dance (B major) without (A minor) a mistake
(G major) I can cruise around (F major) the world
all (A minor) across the nation
Get a big kick out of time,
my tits to pace
Make them hip to the hop
and all that stuff
Cause the other MCs
know I'm just too much
My eyes are brown, (G major) my legs are bold
I can tell a MC (A minor) right where to go
I can get a young lady
with the (G major) wave in my hand
(A minor) I can stretch out long
like a rubber band
Say it one for the treble
and two for the bass
Cause I'm cowboy to put a smile on your
You know K is for cool
and run (G major) through my (A minor) veins
I got, that's what a bud,
so I show no shame
Intelligence is next and that stands for I,
it's something you inherit
and you cannot buy
N is (A major) for (A minor) knight in armor that shines,
slayin' other emcees with
fistin' style rhymes
And G is for great to describe this man,
my name (G major) is King Lou, (C minor) I got a master plan
(G major) And from the (A minor) shores of Paris
to the streets of Maine,
there's a certain reputation
I got (G major) to maintain
I got to write good (A minor) rhymes
and say them well,
and if I don't do that, I know I'll fail
There's a few things I
(G major) use to (A minor) get me over
That all fit to (G major) gether like a
four -leaf (A minor) clover
First and most important's visionality
You gotta (G major) be innovative,
versat (A minor) ile as can be, huh
Second on my list,
you got to know how to flake
You got to make the crowd yell,
cause a major earthquake
Make them stop on the floor
and scream for more
From the very first (B major) minute
that you (A minor) walk in the door, huh
Movin' right along to the end of the line
You gotta get a flop, girl, on your divine
(B major) Have (A minor) her come to your (B flat minor) shows,
wearin' (A minor) nice vintage clothes
Lookin' sharp as it's on,
on the stem of the rose
Belly, belly, bell is potent
Super (B major) high -powered
to (A minor) make the other MCs feel devoured
Taught all the MCs the bird (B major) s and the (A minor) bees
But they still can't get no young lady
But I'm the legend in leather,
the lord of the rhyme
If you (B major) can't see that,
you must be blind
I always wear black and I always will
Cause I'm (A minor) dressin' for (B major)
your (A minor) fu neral
Head's gonna roll and rappers gonna die
(B major) And whoever won the (F sharp major) battle,
I'ma (B major) give him a try
It (A minor) ain't no pressure,
you know I'm (B major) fresher
Cause (A minor) I was (G major) born
to nev (A minor) er be lesser
It's more than a record
and it showed to me
Because I came here (B major) to set
(G major) the world free
from around the way
back in the days we (A minor) got (B major) beat
so you can get paid
we made (A minor) you a job you stupid slob
now you (G major) don't have to (A minor) work
learn steal or rob
you (G major) got a little (A minor) bit of fame (B major) and wealth
(A minor) now you think you (B major) did it all (A minor) by yourself
huh i am you but (B major) you ain't me
because you (A minor) didn't start
I'm rockin' till 83,
Melon Mel is the (G major) best that will ever exist
And if I (A minor) gotta be a (B major) sucker,
suck on this (E major) (B major) (F sharp major) (F sharp minor) (G major)
(A minor) (B major)
We're born, born, born, born (E major)
To (B major) rock the world (B major)
We're born, born, born, born
To rock (B major) the world, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
