80 Bars Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]80[G]
bars, 80 scars
[Am]Yo, engineer turn me up, y[G]o
[Am]

[Verse 2]
I started off in the under[F]ground
[G]From mono to stereo,
now I'm surround sound
[Am]Blowing through your tubes,
leav[F]ing [Am]holes through your speakers
[G]Cracking through your tweeters, my
frequency's off the meter
[Am]Jam [F]packed arenas from
here to Bangkok
[G]I'm ahead of my [Em]time like
Jimi Hendrix playing Woodstock
[Am]Me, I'm playing [F]Hoodstock before
I had the dreadlocks
I use [G]to reminisce "Should I do
music [Am]or sell rocks?"
Wrote my own props,
living [F]in the [Am]PJ's[G]
That's when the Angel Gabriel said
"It's all a Masquerade"
[Am]Eyes with no face,
speakers with no lace
[G]I feel that Earth's spinnin,
but I'm standin in the same [F]space
[Am]With no [F]trace of what happened
last night
[G]I seen [Em]two fiends fighting
over a crack pipe
[Am]Now I'm [F]watching TV,
my antennae was a close [G]hanger
Blurry vision, Mister McGee Hunn,
David [Am]Banner
Flip the data,
the kids was wearin bandanas
[G]Totin hammers [Em]aimin at your medulla
oblong[G]ata[Am]
Blaow blaow, a young
thug with a slim figure
[G]Romantic type like the movie Casablanca
[F]Herb seller, once but busted
by an [Em]undercover
Buyer, my supplier was
a Gypsy cab driver
[F]That's when I realized I
need to find a new hustle
[G]Living in the jungle the guitar
became my muscle
[Am]I strive through snake eyes who
wanted me crucified
[G]I thought that I was drowning
but I was getting baptized
[Am]Now behold, I heard you sold 20 mill'
But [G]with no street credibility, your overkill
[F]You ain't real,
talkin bout keep it gangsta
[Em]Phony, [G]if you knew the[Em]
gangstas sent me to shank you
[Am]Gank[F] you, yank you,
tie up your ankles
[G]And if that ain't enough,
I call Henchman's to lynch you
[Am]Now, at the funeral,
I can see the Priest bless you
[G]But in the after life,
I'ma still [Em]touch [G]you
[Am]Knockin on heavens door,
your beggin to get in
[G]That's when the son of man greets
you with the face of Satan
[F]Now you look frightened in the
belly of the whale
[Em]That's when the warden say "I want
to welcome you to hell"
[F]Fools, is 5 bucks, get off the phone,
times [G]up
I seen him cut from his head
to his [Am]nuts
You wish you wouldn't,
wish you couldn't, wish it got to me
Cause [G]you screamin' so loud
that a deaf man can hear
[Am]Back to the silence,
no more droppin [G]science
Er'body rappin about
diamonds and violence
[F]And A&R's, all they do
is charge credit cards
[Em]And when the bill comes,
they blame it on the rap [F]stars
Now how you figure? I ain't rent a car
[G]I wasn't at the spa, I ain't by the bar
[Am]Now here's a jewel when you
get your first record deal
[G]Don't subject yourself
to the mass appeal
[Am]First Class, caviar in the vel'
In the [G]new S Class with the Jordan wheels
Re[F]member,
the music industry is like the streets
You know [Em]the cold of the streets,
er'body tryin to eat
The [F]evidence is concrete,
I'm tired of the same song
[G]You take me how,
you must be high off heroin
[Am]Sharper than I ever been,
this one gon get [G]a 10
Rappers, I'ma murder y'all
with your own medicine
[Am]I move with faith, I never have doubt
I'm [G]so hungry you will think
I'm just coming out
But [F]I been here before,
from "Blunted" to "The Score"
To [G]"The [C]Carnival",
[Em]Ecleftic World Tour
[Am]I'm [F]causin whores,
waitin in the back doors
They [G]want me to rock they boat
and shift they more short
[Am]That's when the Father said
"Take heed to this lesson"
They [G]want to cut your hair
like Deliala did Sampson
[Am]I felt that, so I went back to my format
[G]Raps and backpack, gats for[F] carjacks
Hats for pussycats, cause Aids,
I don't want that
[Em]And for the DJ's,
here's something y'all can scratch
Tech[G]nique [C]12,[Am] the needle
hits the wax
[G]Hypnotize the crowd,
the dance floor is [Am]jam packed
Now sing along like a negro spiritu[F]al
[G]No one got shot tonight,
it's a miracle
[Am]What's this I hear,
y'all want to take my spot?
[G]You got a better chance putting
a gorilla in a [F]headlock
I'm too focused,
I can see through your lens
[G]You ain't a G, just a want to be,
[Em]Kingpin so
[F]"The next time,
y'all want to pay for protection
I [G]suggest that you hit up
the Haitian Sicilians"
[Am]
