C#        Bbm     Bbm     A
Now C#once upon a time nBbmot long ago (not long ago)
There wBbmas an Occa kicking rhyAmes up in the land of rock and roll
He's nC#ot a rocker, just a stoBbmner on a roll (on a roll)
Goin' Bbmall out on the road and Atryna make the honour roll
See I bC#een all up in the dojo Bbmpracticin' my braggadocio
Learned Bbmto toot my own horn, bAlow my saxophone and my oboe
Soprano, C#alto, baritone, masteBbmred my high and low notes
A quick jBbmazz cigarette then I'Am takin' my solo
If you aiC#n't heard about it asBbmk around
On any giBbmven Sunday bet we turn Athe party out
Get love C#on every corner walkinBbm' through our part of town
Yeah, you Bbmthat lucky winner, Price AIs Right so you better come on down
To the innC#er-west, come and visBbmit the turf
You see mBbmy crew be runnin' Sydney Alike the City2Surf
From the pC#retty beach sides to the Bbmsticks in the 'burbs
They say tBbmhat dude smooth Nicolas, Ahe slick with them words
[Hook]
I was rollinC#' with my brosef and he Bbmturned and said to me
"Homie, you Bbmbeen goin' in since we wAas only seventeen"
I said "I ainC#'t one to blow my own, Bbmbut I tend to agree
If a, you knoBbmw what I—you know what I Amean, what I mean"
Now the punteC#rs say the love the waBbmy I spit it on the beat
It put the roBbmof over my head and put Athe kicks up on my feet
Nothin' changC#ed, still a couple snakeBbms, we cut them blades of green
If a, you know Bbmwhat I—you know what I Amean
[Verse 2]
The sorta sC#hit that they let fly, I Bbmcould do with my eyes closed
But I'm takBbming the high road, tryna scaAle heights, never fall off cause I climb slow
See my sigC#n's goat, as Bbmin G.O.A.T
Make my wBbmay from A to B while spelling Aout what's plain to see
My man was C#shotgun in the 'Yota, lookBbmed over and said to me
"Homie, yoBbmu been goin' in since we was Aonly seventeen"
When we'd rC#ock up to your house party, Bbmrollin' twenty deep
Turnin' off Bbmyour Black Eyed Peas and thrAowin' on some BDP
[?], R—O—C, C#Eminem or D—BbmR—E
RSE, BbmBnE or Suffa, PressuAre, and Debris
For the momenC#t probably be that OVO Bbmor TDE
But homie thiBbms that O—N—E, that D—A—AY, that E—N—T
Nowadays we goC#t our names up on the list Bbmand drinks are free
It's like sBbmomething I think I saw in a visAion or a dream
I'm tryna painC#t the kind of picture that mBbmake you picture the scene
If a, you know wBbmhat I—you know whaAt I mean
[Hook]
I was rollin' C#with my brosef and he tuBbmrned and said to me
"Homie, you bBbmeen goin' in since we was onAly seventeen"
I said "I ain'C#t one to blow my own, buBbmt I tend to agree
If a, you know Bbmwhat I—you know what I mAean, what I mean
Now the punterC#s say the love the way I Bbmspit it on the beat
It put the rBbmoof over my head and put the kiAcks up on my feet
Nothin' changC#ed, still a couple snakes, Bbmwe cut them blades of green
If a, you knBbmow what I—you know whAat I mean
[Outro]
Don't wanna blC#ow my own trumpet, don't wBbmanna toot my own horn
Don't wanna Bbmbeat my own drum kit, don't waAnna write my own score
But they like C#it, they love it, they buy iBbmt, they bump it, recite it
Turn it up and Bbmthen they bump it up some mAore
Don't wanna bloC#w my own trumpet, don't wanna Bbmtoot my own horn
Don't wanna beaBbmt my own drum kit, don't wanna wArite my own score
But they like it, C#they love it, they buy it, Bbmthey bump it, recite it
Turn it up and tBbmhen they bump it up some Amore
