'81 was thEme year shit hit the fan in a mCajor way
a saGd day for inspiring artiDsts
Almost 20 Emyears after the fact IC'm still on my hustle
DiggGin' graves for an inspiring arDtist
Pushing daises up
And never Emcompromise the arts and Cmake a crowd clap
Shit Gon since the first showD  
But we Emturned feces to fertilizerC  
So when you diss Git's just food for the flDowers to grow
Sold 15 Emplus out of baCckpacks, no trunks
ToGo young to driveD  
But live hip hop
And thEme kids are upstate kids Cthat thought rap was pGast tense, hence Dthe last name
Got naEmme for playing basements and Csuch and making songGs that our friends
loDved
And wEmhen the fish bowl got too small Cto hold the goldfish
We Gfilled our gills with water aDnd ripped that mother fucker like
So take a sBm7tep back
Let it oEm9ut now
Put your chin up
You can do Bm7it tiger
And Em9in your dream it's time to do the best you cAan now
We bring ourEm7selves down
Bm7/F#  
And build ourselves up in disappointment
How fragile we Am7are
So fragile we Am7are, we just don't show it
We'll shake uEm7p this town
Bm7/ F#  
And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment
So sexy we aAm7re
So sexy we aAm7re, we just don't know it
Em7   Bm7/ F#   Am7  
ThEmis is what you wanted right?C  
How many nights were spent pourGing out your guts dummy?D  
How many punishments endEmured for fucking up in school?C  
How many teachers proved wrGong by writing songs instead?D  
But you knEmew you had a spark, did you?C  
Something producin' to the drGeams your pop's dreams lent youD  
Stay focused when nothEming seemed to make senseC  
Stealing verses with that CGassius Clay confidenceD  
Sometimes you stEmubborn as shit, that's the McCoy Cin you
You learn to be a mGan without losing the boDy in you
So take a Bm7step back
Let it oEm9ut now
Put your chin up
You can dBm7o it tiger
And in Em9your dream it's time to do the best you cAan now
So take a sBm7tep back
Let it Em9out now
Put your chin up
You can do Bm7it tiger
And in Em9your dream it's time to do the best you cAan now
We bring ourEm7selves down
Bm7/F#  
And build ourselves up in disappointment
How fragile we Am7are

We'll shake uEm7p this town

And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment
So sexy we aAm7re
So sexy we aAm7re, we just don't know it
We break ourEm7selves down
