[Verse 1]
Pushing drop- [G]tops,
Stacy Lat[F#m]tisaw tapes, the 80's had us all [Em]apes
Youngest gorillas up to [D]bat
at home plate
That was [C]a uncanny era,
guns in my pants
Yeah X- Clan hair,
with dreads at the [D]top of my fade
Hom[G]icide and feds on the blocks [F#m]where I played,
b- ball
[Em]That's when I wondered was I here for [B]the cause,
or [Ebm]be- cause
[Bbm]'Cause Ray [Bb]Charles
could see the [Gm]ghetto
Was told to stay strong and I
could beat the Devil
[G]'Cause yo,
I used to play Apollo balcon[F#m]y seats
Watching niggas [Em]swing razors in the front [D]row,
then out in the streets
[C]The car show,
560's, chemical Afros
Acuras pumping [G]Super Lover
[A]Cee and Cas[G]anova
Live chicks be,
asses busting [F#m]out of they clothes
Wearing [Em]lip gloss,
big door [B]knockers pealing [Bb]they earlobes
So where them years go? Where the old
gold beers and [Gm]cheers go?
But now them shorties here [G]doe, so

[Verse 2]
The doo rags are back, fitted [F#m]hats,
snorkels and furs
[Em]Riker's Island busting,
still [D]packed, what's the word?
The [C]drinkers stay drinking,
or puffin they herb
And [G]I'm, still enjoying life's ride,
one [D]mo' time
The [G]doo rags are back, fitted [F#m]hats,
snorkels and furs
[Em]Riker's Island busti[Am]ng,
still [B]packed, what's the word?
The [Bb]drinkers stay drinking,
[Gm]or puffin they herb
And I'm, still enjoying life's ride,
[G]right?

[Verse 3]
Political thugs in shark suits
[F#m]persuade us to pull triggers
[Em]In army boots,
yelling "Join [D]the armed forces!"
We lost [C]the Vietnam War,
intoxicated poisons
Needles in arms of veter[G]ans instead
of [D]bigger fortunes
There's still [G]a lot of naked crawling
in the [F#m]corporate offices
War in [Em]the ghetto,
we crabs in a bar[Ebm]rel, they torture us
They won't be serving the beast too long
[Gm]The murderers wearing police uniforms,
confederate flags I burn
Beat [G]Street breakers were dancing
to the [F#m]music I chose
[Em]And Peachtree Atlantic crackhead
[D]s was tootin' they nose
In frozen [C]corners of Chicago,
loaded up Llama's children
[Em]With fo'- fo's, and
double- revolvers
We devil [G]incarnates,
[D]headed for jail
Where Shell gas com[Em]pany in
South [C]Africa be having us killed
[B]Your paper mon[Bb]ey was
the death of Christ
[Gm]And [Eb]all these shorties coming up[Gm]
just resurrect your life
It's like [G]a cycle

[Verse 4]
The doo rags are back, fitted [F#m]hats,
snorkels and furs
[Em]Riker's Island busting,
still [D]packed, what's the word?
The [C]drinkers stay drinking,
or puffin they herb
And I'm, still [G]en joying life's [D]ride,
one mo' time
The [G]doo rags are back, fitted [F#m]hats,
snorkels and furs
[Em]Riker's Island busti[Am]ng,
still [B]packed, what's the word?
The [Bb]drinkers stay drinking,
or puffin they herb
And I'm, still enjoying life's [Gm]ride,
right?

[Verse 5]
Niggas [G]used to wear rags on they
[F#m]hair when it was fried up
[Em]That's when we were lied to,
[D]buying hair products
[C]Back before my generation,
when our blackness started disintegrating
'Til awareness started [G]penetrating
The styles come from pris[F#m]on,
they used potatoes mak[Em]ing liquor
Just to prove we some
[B]creative nig[Ebm]gas
Turning [Bb]nothing into something,
is God work
[Gm]And you get nothing without
[Bb]struggle and hard work
[C]War is neces[G]sary to my niggas
in chain[F#m]s
From Greene to Sing- [Em]Sing,
I'm wanting y'all [D]to know one thing
The hardest [C]thing is to forgive,
but God does
Even if you murdered or [Em]robbed,
yeah it's [A]wrong, but God [D]loves
Take [G]one step toward [F#m]him, he takes
two toward you
[Em]Even when [A]all [B]else fail, God support you
[Bb]I done it, got God sun
on my stomach
My heart [Gm]an d my lungs was affected
from [Bb]Henny's and getting blunted
[G]Do your body right and
[F#m]it loves you back
You only [Em]get one life,
and yo [D]be cause of that
I'm still [C]blazing, going out for the 'cause
Still rocking stocking caps, [G]not [D]for the waves,
obeying no laws
And it's like [G]that
The doo rags are back, fitted [F#m]hats, [A]snorkels and furs

[Verse 6]
[Em]
Riker's Island busting,
still [B]packed, what's the word?
The [Bb]drinkers stay drinking,
or puffin they herb
And I'm, still enjoying life's ride,
one [Gm]mo' time
The [G]doo rags are back, fitted [D]hats,
[A]snorkels and furs
[Em]Riker's Island busting,
still [D]packed, what's [Bb]the word?
The [C]drinkers stay drinking,
[G]or puffin they herb
And [C]I'm, still enjoying life's ride,
