[Verse 1]
[G]In [Dm]the b[Am]egin[G][Dm][Am][G][C]
[G]ning,
[Dm]in the beginni[Am]ng[G][Dm]
[Am]In the b[G]eginning,
[Dm]in the beginni[Am]ng[G][Dm][Am][G]
[Dm]
I'd like to dedicate this
one to the book number
C, my brother.
Dinosaur,
Mimi,
Enchi,
Boo,
Larry,
Lara, or
Merlin!
Committing murder [C]on the scene, [G]rock -socking the spot,
doing as we [Dm]see fit, rocking t[G]he house on down.
Ladies and gentlemen,
it's the one and only.
[Dm]But you can call me
Ecstasy.
We've [G]come a long [Dm]way, baby.
We've struggled through thick and thin.
And [G]if I had to do it over again,
it would be with you, my friend.
[Dm]But one thing, when I look back, a little further down the line,
all we're gonna be able to say is that it wasn't always that way.
In [G]the beginning, [Dm]against our [Am]odds, [G]we didn't bother,
still we [Dm]went to school and we [Am]always [G]did the job.
And one thing it taught me, [Dm]I'd like to ment[A]ion,
[G]is that a good education did[Dm] for me what
[Am]Lipton did for
T.
[G]Now, [C]I'm not [G]bragging,
[Dm]that's not my [Am]style
[G]Because with me it's always
[Dm]ser vice with a smile
[Am]And ba[G]by doll,
from that point on I knew
[Dm]Rap would be m[Am]y tool
[G]So I kept on working at it,
[Dm]trying [Am]to improve
[G]You [C]see, when [G]I was just a l[Dm]ittle boy
My [Am]daddy sat me on his knee
[G]And he told me about the fac[Dm]t of life
Why [Am]whispering to me?
[G]He said son, if at first [Dm]you d[Am]on't succeed,
[G]a little bit of practice is [Dm]all [Am]you n[G]eed.
Because after you start,
[Dm]you cannot q[Am]uit.[G]
You've got to go [Dm]make
yourself [Am]to it.
[G]Because I wanted to be [Dm]point guard first
[Am]string on my [G]high school basketball team.
I didn't really want to [Dm]go to school,
[Am]just play [G]basketball, that's all.
I couldn't go to prom with my [Dm]phys ed teacher,
so I [Am]tried to get close to a [G]fly chair leader.
But that didn't help my [Dm]marks and obstacles,
and [Am]every subject I [G]took up formed.
So I tried to get back up [Dm]on my feet,
I [Am]even stopped hanging out [G]in the street.
I went to bed about [Dm]ten o 'clock,
[Am]and every morning I was [G]ready to rock.
[C]I ate[G] two bowls of fro[Dm]sted flakes,
and then I [Am]had to break out[G], so I wouldn't be late.
Cause the early birds always
[Dm]catch the worms
And I [Am]figure it's just about
[G]my turn
In beginning,
[Dm]in the beginni[Am]ng[G][Dm][Am]
[G]In [C]the begin[G]ning, [Dm]in the beg[Am]inning
[G]In [Dm]the b[Am]egin[G]ning,
[Dm]in the beginni[Am]ng[G][Dm]
[Am]In t[G]he b[C]eginning[G],
[Dm]in the beginni[Am]ng[G]

[Outro 1]
