Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Yes,[Am] yes,[Dm]
[G]ladies and gentlemen
[Em]I'll[Am] like to thank you for your supp[F]ort,
[Dm]love
Not only to [G]me,
[Em]but to the whole hip- [Am]hop industry itself
We as a whole,
we've been weathering in the Storm
[Em]From the start,
[Am]30- plus years ago to now
[Dm]But uh, like all weapons [Em]of hate,
we per[Am]ceiver
So allow me to speak not only for me
But on behalf [F]of the
hip- hop [Em]co alition
[Am]Every hood, every ghetto across
the United States of America

[Verse 2]
[Em]Yea, as [Am]a youngin' I
was sittin'- spittin' sponge- in'
Just learnin' the life,
and Christ second [F]comin'
[Em]Well mannered and [Am]nice,
got advice from women
But when the money get tight,
the [Dm]stomach start grumblin'

[Verse 3]
[Em]It was some [Am]of then,
wasn't all Hammers then
Went in the Benz,
it was kingpin and [F]bubblin'
[Em]We started h[Am]uddlin',
puttin' in, and jugglin'
A shear later we straight,
[Dm]no more st[G]rugglin'[Em]
[Am]But that was only the start The love

[Verse 4]
[Am]
between homey
started fallin' apart
[F]I guess any[Em] thing's addict[Am]ive
when it's callin' your heart
Death and incarceration had [Dm]us all in the dark
[G]We was done,

[Verse 5]
[Em]
some'll [Am]say "we had a beautiful run"
And the beauty is skin deep
was beneath the slums
I was num[Em]b,
[Am]that was like speakin' in tongues
So relax, I adapt within a week I was sprung
[G]Spoke

[Verse 6]
[Em]facts on the [Am]track,
it's like squeezin' a gun
No more crack,
all the boys on my back hearin' "RUN"
[Em]Yea,[Am] I changed & came, all them years,
on the stairs G [Dm]Rap & Kane
I felt [Em]pain, [Am]them beamers still
lurkin' my brain
But the ways is the most high
is to preserve to explain
It was the [Em]fame,
that [Am]focused me, perfected my game
And like that, there's so many
others that this rap will remain
[G]And in excha[Em]nge,
we [Am]give fans the force of the reign
To feed, nurture, and breed,
and be the voice of the slain
It's a [Em]shame,
but that [Am]real shit come wit the life
And in order to obtain you gotta
[Dm]sacrifice
It's like cut[Em]tin' your bitch [Am]shorter,
don't pass on fights
I'ma tourer, so you know
all my facts is right
Plus my [Em]Au rora is like
[Am]used spoilers on the porch at night
So be polite,
just go for them critics that [G]write
This is [Em]Rap, we from the [Am]hood,
just tryin' to get a slice
Some'll bite,
but the most just coast wit [F]ice
And [Em]rock a little [Am]chain, get a little brain
Ha ha- ha ha, [Dm]yea, hey,

[Verse 7]
[Em]
[Am]it is what it is
You know Rap has no rules
[Em]See my enl[Am]ightener he- he once
told me once said
"If there is no devilish- men,
then there won't be [G]Godliness"
[Em]"One[Am] can't exist without
the other"
Knaw'mean?, it's [F]like a Doc[Em]tor is
only needed [Am]to heal
And he caters to the sick,
so the sick [Dm]must exist, ya heard?
[Em]A Min [Am]ister - he only gives sermon
to - uh you know -
Those seeking [F]for forgiveness
[Em]- so them sinners [Am]must exist
You know? it's simple simplistic,
ha [G]ha- ha ha
[Em]It's AZ the GOD [Am]- Constantine
- Quiet Money for life
This is What I [F]Do, [Em]I'm here[Am]
