The Joy Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Add a litt[Am]le sugar,[Dm]
[F]honeysuc[Em]kle and[Dm]
[Em]A great big expression of happ[Am]iness
[Gm]Boy, you couldn't miss[F]
[Dm]with[Em] a dozen r[Am]oses[Dm]
[F]Such wou[C]ld ast[Dm]ound you
[Em]The joy of children laughing aroun[Am]d you
[Gm]These are the maki[F]ngs of you

[Verse 2]
[Dm]I do it for the fore- fathers
and the street authors
That [Em]are not A&R's in
the [Am]cheap of[Dm]fice
Rappers that never got signed
but they keep offers
Girls that's way too [Am]fine for us
to keep off [Dm]us
Gave her a handshake only
for my man's sake
She in her birthday suit
[Em]cause of the [Am]damn cake
[Dm]Now there's crumbs all
over the damn place
And she want me to cum all
[Gm]over her damn [Am]face
[Dm]I never understood planned
parenthood
'Cause I never met nobody planned
to be a [Eb]parent in [Am]the hood
[Dm]Taking refills of that plan B pill
Another shorty that won't make
it to the [Em]family [Am]will
If I [Dm]don't make it, can't take
it, hope the family will
They ain't crazy they don't know
how [Em]in sanity feel
[Am]Don C ju[Dm]st had a shorty
so it's not that bad
But I still hear the ghosts of the
[Em]kids I never [Am]had

[Verse 3]
Add a little sug[Dm]ar,
[F]honeysuc[Em]kle and[Dm]
[Em]A great big expression of ha[Am]ppiness
[Gm]Boy, you couldn't miss[F]
[Dm]with[Em] a dozen r[Am]oses[Dm]
[F]Such wou[C]ld ast[Dm]ound you
[Em]The joy of children laughing aroun[Am]d you
[Gm]These are [C]the maki[F]ngs of y[Dm]ou

[Verse 4]
No Electro, no metro,
a little retro, [Em]ahh perf[Am]ecto
[Dm]You know the demo, ya boy act wild
You ain't get the memo?
[Em]Yeezy's back in style
[Am]Now one [Dm]room got Gidget, the other
got Bridget
What's more tripped out
[Em]dawg is they [Am]sisters
[Dm]Nah, you ain't listen, they black,
they sisters
They momma,
named [Em]them after white [Am]bitches
[Dm]So next time you see me
on your fallopian
Though the jewelry's Egyptian,
know the [Am]hunger's Ethiopian
[Dm]Stupid questions like,
"Is he gon' be dope again?
Have you seen him? [Em]Has anybody
[Am]spoke [Dm]to him?"
This beat deserves Hennessy,
A bad bitch and a bag [Am]of weed,
the Holy Trinity
[Dm]In the mirror where I see
my only enemy
Your life's cursed,
well [Em]mine's an ob[Am]scenity

[Verse 5]
[Dm]Add a little [F]sugar, honey[Em]suckle [Dm]and
[Em]A great big expression of happ[Am]iness
[Gm]Boy, you couldn't miss[F]
[Dm]with[Em] a dozen r[Am]oses[Dm]
[F]Such wou[C]ld ast[Dm]ound you
[Em]The joy of children laughing aroun[Am]d you
[Gm]These are [Am]the makin[F]gs of yo[Dm]u

[Verse 6]
This is my momma [Dm]shit
I used to hear this through
the [Em]walls in the [Am]hood
When I was [Dm]back in my pajama shit
Afro's and marijuana sticks,
seeds and [Am]the ganja had
It popping like the [Dm]sample
that I'm rhyming with
Pete Rock, let the needle drop
[Am]I seen so much as a kid they sur
[Dm]prised I don't needle pop
Taking sips of pop's six-
pack of Miller nips
[Em]Pink [Am]Champ[Dm]ale, Ballantine Ale
Ballys on my feet help
me balance out well
[Em]That and the [Am]shit I used to
[Dm]balance on the scale
I got it honest from the parties
from my momma's
Virgin [Em]Mary's try to [Am]judge her, I'm
[Dm]like, "Where the Madonna's now?"
Give all glory to Gloria, they said,
"You raised [Em]that boy too [Am]fast"
But [Dm]you was raising a warrior
We victorious,
they'll never take the joy [Em]from us, uh
[Am]Keep you

[Verse 7]
[Dm]hands up,
get 'em high now
[Am]Don't let them [Dm]take [Am]your fire
Keep [Dm]you hands up, get 'em high now
Don't [Em]let them [Dm]take your [Am]fire
Keep you [Dm]hands up, get 'em high now
Don't [Am]let them t[Dm]ake your f[Em]ire
[Am]Keep you h[Dm]ands up,
get 'em high now
[Am][Dm]
