Chorus

Em7 Bm7 F♯ Am7

'81 was thEme year shit hit the fan in a mCajor way

a saGd day for inspiring artiDsts

Almost 20Em years after the fact IC'm still on my hustle

DiggGin' graves for an inspiring arDtist

Pushing daises up

And never Emcompromise the arts andC make a crowd clap

Shit Gon since the first show D

But weEm turned feces to fertilizer C

So when you diss Git's just food for the flDowers to grow

Sold 15Em plus out of baCckpacks, no trunks

ToGo young to drive D

But live hip hop

And thEme kids are upstate kidsC that 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

And a breath in

Let it oEm9ut now

Put your chin up

You can doBm7 it tiger

You a man now

And Em9in your dream it's time to do the best you cAan now

We bring ourEm7selves down

And buildBm7 oursF♯elves up in disappointment

How fragile weAm7 are

So fragile we Am7are, we just don't show it

We'll shake uEm7p this town

And shoot Bm7down tF♯he 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

My point exactly

But you knEmew you had a spark, did you? C

Something producin' to the drGeams your pop's dreams lent you D

Stay focused when nothEming seemed to make sense C

Stealing verses with that CGassius Clay confidence D

Sometimes you stEmubborn as shit, that's the McCoy Cin you

You learn to be a mGan without losing the boDy in you

Just do your thing man

So take a Bm7step back

And a breath in
