The Truth chords by Melle mel
Verse 1
Am
Rap is our way of life,
G
that's why we do what we like.
Am
A
Am
G
Am
Born to rock the mic like E .F. Hut t,
E
so don't say nothing.
Am
Yo, yo, I am the man called Scorpio,
the one that's seen and never heard.
But all my sons just runnin' they mouth,
G
so it's time for Daddy to
Am
speak his 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.
G
Am
Cause I'm the first attractive, exotic male
To walk around town
with beads in his hair
To be stopped on the street
by the people I meet
G
Saying, where you get your beads?
Cause you look so sweet
Am
Hey, 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
G
I spend more on spice
Am
than they 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
A
Am
But a brother like me could rock it all day
I'm much smarter than that,
in my own way
F
And you know what I'm saying
Am
is a 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
G
Got shot with a gun, stabbed with a knife
Am
G
Had to pay my dues, had to learn the rules
Am
Had to separate the 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
G
Make them party to the rhythm
Am
seven days a week
Make them shiver and shake
just like an earthquake
B
Am
Make the people dance without a mistake
G
F
I can cruise around the world
Am
all 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
G
My eyes are brown, my legs are bold
Am
I can tell a MC right where to go
I can get a young lady
G
with the wave in my hand
Am
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
G
Am
and run through my 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
A
Am
N is for knight in armor that shines,
slayin' other emcees with
fistin' style rhymes
And G is for great to describe this man,
G
Cm
my name is King Lou, I got a master plan
G
Am
And from the shores of Paris
to the streets of Maine,
there's a certain reputation
G
I got to maintain
Am
I got to write good rhymes
and say them well,
and if I don't do that, I know I'll fail
There's a few things I
G
Am
use to get me over
G
That all fit together like a
Am
four -leaf clover
First and most important's visionality
G
You gotta be innovative,
Am
versatile 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
B
From the very first minute
Am
that you walk in the door, huh
Movin' right along to the end of the line
You gotta get a flop, girl, on your divine
B
Am
Bbm
Have her come to your shows,
Am
wearin' nice vintage clothes
Lookin' sharp as it's on,
on the stem of the rose
Belly, belly, bell is potent
B
Super high -powered
Am
to make the other MCs feel devoured
B
Am
Taught all the MCs the birds and the bees
But they still can't get no young lady
But I'm the legend in leather,
the lord of the rhyme
B
If you can't see that,
you must be blind
I always wear black and I always will
Am
B
Cause I'm dressin' for
Am
your fu neral
Head's gonna roll and rappers gonna die
B
F#
And whoever won the battle,
B
I'ma give him a try
Am
It ain't no pressure,
B
you know I'm fresher
Am
G
Cause I was born
Am
to never be lesser
It's more than a record
and it showed to me
B
Because I came here to set
G
the world free
from around the way
Am
B
back in the days we got beat
so you can get paid
Am
we made you a job you stupid slob
G
Am
now you don't have to work
learn steal or rob
G
Am
B
you got a little bit of fame and wealth
Am
B
Am
now you think you did it all by yourself
B
huh i am you but you ain't me
Am
because you didn't start
I'm rockin' till 83,
G
Melon Mel is the best that will ever exist
Am
B
And if I gotta be a sucker,
E

We're born, born, born, born
B
