[Bm]Yo,
[Bb]expl[Am]ode, my thoughts were drunken from quart[G]s of b[Am]eers
Was [C]years back,
before [G]Nasir would ex[Bm]plore a career in [Bb]rap
As [Am]a music dude,
I mastered [G]this [Am]Rubik's Cube
[C]Godzilla, fou[G]ght Gargan[C]tua,[G]
eye[Bm]s glued to the tu[Bb]be
Was [Am]a, long time ago,
[G]John [C]Boy Ice
Geronimo po- [G]lice jumpin [Bm]out[Bb]
Chryslers, easywider[Am]paper
Pops puffin his ses[G]s,
[Am]punchin his [G]chest [C]like a goril[G]la
Outside [Bm]was psyc[Bb]hoes, killers
Saw Di[C]vine, Goon [Am]and Chungo,
[Bm]Lil' Turkey
R.I.P. [Bb]Tyr one,
'member no [Am]cursin front of Ms. Vercey
[C]Big Percy, [Am]Crazy Paul, the Sledge Sisters
My building [Bm]was [Bb]40- 16, once in the blue,
[Am]hallways was clean
I knew, all that I'd seen had
meant somethin
Learned [C]early,
to [G]fear [Am]none [G]little [Bm]Nas was [Bb]huntin
Livin [Am]carefree laughin, got [G]jokes [Am]on the daily
