Em C
'81 was the year shit hit the fan in a major way
G D
a sad day for inspiring artists
Em C
Almost 20 years after the fact I'm still on my hustle
G D
Diggin' graves for an inspiring artist
Pushing daises up
Em C
And never compromise the arts and make a crowd clap
G D
Shit on since the first show
Em C
But we turned feces to fertilizer
G D
So when you diss it's just food for the flowers to grow
Em C
Sold 15 plus out of backpacks, no trunks
G D
Too young to drive
But live hip hop
Em C G D
And the kids are upstate kids that thought rap was past tense, hence the last name
Em C G
Got name for playing basements and such and making songs that our friends
D
loved
Em C
And when the fish bowl got too small to hold the goldfish
G D
We filled our gills with water and ripped that mother fucker like
Bm7
So take a step back
And a breath in
Em9
Let it out now
Put your chin up
Bm7
You can do it tiger
You a man now
Em9 A
And in your dream it's time to do the best you can now
Em7
We bring ourselves down
Bm7F#
/
And build ourselves up in disappointment
Am7
How fragile we are
Am7
So fragile we are, we just don't show it
Em7
We'll shake up this town
Bm7F#
/
And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment
Am7
So sexy we are
Am7
So sexy we are, we just don't know it
Em7 Bm7F# Am7
/
Em C
This is what you wanted right?
G D
How many nights were spent pouring out your guts dummy?
Em C
How many punishments endured for fucking up in school?
G D
How many teachers proved wrong by writing songs instead?
My point exactly
Em C
But you knew you had a spark, did you?
G D
Something producin' to the dreams your pop's dreams lent you
Em C
Stay focused when nothing seemed to make sense
G D
Stealing verses with that Cassius Clay confidence
Em C
Sometimes you stubborn as shit, that's the McCoy in you
G D
You learn to be a man without losing the boy in you
Just do your thing man
Bm7
So take a step back
And a breath in
Em9
Let it out now
Put your chin up
Bm7
You can do it tiger
You a man now
Em9 A
And in your dream it's time to do the best you can now
Bm7
