1985 (Intro to "The Fall Off") Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]1985, I arrived
[E]33 [Am]years,
damn, I'm grateful [E]I survived
[Am]We wasn't s'posed to g[E]et past 25[Am]
Jokes on you motherfucker, [E]we alive
[Am]All these niggas popping now is youn[E]g
[Am]Everybody say the music
that they [E]make is dumb
I [Am]remember I [E]was [Am]18
Money, pussy, parties,
I was on the same thing
You gotta give a boy a chance
to grow [E]some
[Am]Everybody talkin' like they [E]know
somethin' these days
[Am]Niggas actin' woke,
but they [E]broke, umm
[Am]I respect the struggle but [E]you all
frontin' these days
[Am]Man, they barely old enough to [E]drive
To [Am]tell them what they should do,
[E]who the fuck am I?
I [Am]heard one of em' diss [E]me, I'm suprised
I ain't trippin',
listen good to [Am]my reply[E]
[Am]Come here lil' man, let me [E]talk with ya'
[Am]See if I can paint for you
the [E]larger picture
Con[Am]grats 'cause you made
it out your [E]mama's house
[Am]I hope you make enough
to buy your [E]mom a house
I [Am]see your watch icy and y[E]our whip foreign
I [Am]got some good advice, never quit tourin'
[E]'Ca[Am]use that's the way we eat
here in this rap game
I'm fuckin' with your funky
lil' rap name
I hear your music and
[E]I know that rap's changed
A [Am]bunch of folks would say that that's
a [E]bad thing
[Am]'Cause everything's commercial
and [E]it's pop now
[Am]Trap drums is the shit that's
[E]hot now
[Am]See, I've been on a quest
for the [E]next wave
[Am]But never mind, that [E]was just a segue
I must [Am]say, by your songs
I'm unim[E]pressed, hey
But I love to see a [Am]Black man get paid
And plus, you havin' fun
and I re[E]spect that
But [Am]have you ever thought
about your [E]impact?
These [Am]white kids love that
you don't [E]give a fuck
'Cause that's [Am]ex actly what's
expected when your [E]skin black
They wanna [Am]see you dab,
they wanna [E]see you pop a pill
They [Am]wanna see you tatted from
[E]your face to your heels
And [Am]somewhere deep down, fuck it,
I [E]gotta keep it real
[Am]They wanna be black and think
your [E]song is how it feels
[Am]So when you turn up,
you see them [E]turnin' up too
[Am]You hit the next city,
collect your [E]money when it's [Am]due
You gettin' that paper, swimmin' in [E]bitches,
I don't blame you
You ain't [Am]thinkin' 'bout the people
that's [E]lookin' like me an[Am]d you
True, you got better shit to [E]do
You [Am]coulda bought a crib with all
that [E]bread that you done blew
I [Am]know you think this type
of reven[E]ue is never endin'
But I [Am]wanna take a minute just
to [E]tell you that ain't true
One [Am]day,
them kids that's listening gon' grow up
[E]And get too old[Am] for that shit
that made you blow up
[E]Now your sho[Am]w's lookin' light
cause they don't show up
[E]Which un [Am]fortunately
means the money slow up
[E]Now you scr[Am]amblin' and hopin'
to [E]get hot again
But you [Am]for got you only popped
'cause you [E]was ridin' trends
Now [Am]you old news and you
[E]goin' through regrets
'Cause you [Am]never bought that house,
but you got a Benz
And a bunch of jewels and a bunch of shoes
[E]And a bun[Am]ch of fake friends,
I ain't [E]judgin' you
I'm just [Am]tellin' you what's probably
gon' [E]happen when you rappin'
'Bout the [Am]type of shit
you rappin' 'bout
[E]It's a faster route to the bottom
[Am]I wish you good [E]luck
I'm hoping for your [Am]sake that
you ain't dumb as [E]you look
But if it's really [Am]true what people sayin'
And you [E]call yourself
playin' with my [Am]name
Then I really know you fucked, [E]trust
I'll be [Am]around forever 'cause
my skills [E]is tip- top
To any [Am]amateur niggas
that wanna [E]get rocked
Just re[Am]member what I told
you when your [E]shit flop
In five [Am]years you gon' be on Love & Hip- Hop,

[Outro 1]
nigga
