[Verse 1]
[D]Once upon [Ab]a time not [G]long ago
When [D]people wore [Ab]Adidas
and [G]lived life [D]slow
[G]When laws were [C]stern
[F]and justice s[G]tood
[A]And people was [G]be having like
[A]hip- hop was [G]good
[D]There lived a little [Ab]boy who w[G]as misled
By [Bb]a little Sha- [F]tan and this
[G]is what he [D]said
[G]"Me and you [C]kid we gonna
[F]make some [G]cash
[A]Jacking old [D]beats an[A]d making
the [G]dash"
They jacked [Ab]the beats,
[Gm]money came with ease
But son, he couldn't [Ab]stop,
it's like [G]he had a dis[D]ease
He jacked [G]another and another,
Michael [F]Jackson, Stevie [G]Wonder
[A]Set [G]some R&B over the track
for "Deep Cover" (187!)
[Gm]The kid got [Ab]wild, started [Gm]acting [G]erratic
He [D]said "Yo, [Ab]that presidential
[G]I got t[D]o have it"
[G]With liquor in his belly son,
[F]he made [G]up the track
[A]But little did [D]he know that
his joints was [G]wack
The [D]shiny [Ab]A&R said "Grea[G]t new hit, G!"
[D]"Whenever [Ab]you need a loo[G]p,
yo come get me"
The kid got amped and
[F]he starts to [G]figure
[A]"I'ma get [G]dough like all
[A]of these other [G]niggas!"
So, he's in the [Ab]studio [G]working
round the clock
For pop [D]radio,
[Ab]jacked the beat [G]to [D]'Planet [G]Rock'
Was out in the street when
[F]he met this [G]sister
[A]Who couldn't sing [G]for shh but
[A]the mix would as[G]sist her
Hooked up [Ab]the track and in [G]excitation
He [D]de cided [Ab]he'd head
for [G]the radio [D]station
[G]But (What?) he was running
and he made a left
[A]Was skeezing at top [D]speed
and ran into Mos [G]De f
I slowed [D]the young man [Ab]down and
[G]I started: "Yo money
[Bb]Yo, why you selling [Ab]lies to
[G]our wives and [D]children?"
[G]He ran upstairs up to the top floor
[A]Opened up [G]the door then guess
who he saw? [D](Who?)
Jane [Ab]the c[G]hickenhead radio host
Who [D]be yapping 'bout [Ab]beef between
[G]east and west [D]coast
He [G]said "This one's [C]a bullet,
[F]you got to give [G]it run!"
[A]The chicken said [G]"Thanks"
and [A]spanked [G]it #1
He went out[Ab]side,
was getting [G]props all over
Then [D]he dipped into [Ab]his ride,
[Gm]the 4- point R[D]over
[G]Raced up [C]the block [G]doing 83
[A]Some cats with Hen[D]nessey saw
him at a R- [G]E- D
[D]He winked his [Ab]eye like h[G]is star
status mattered
[Bb]They rat- a- tat- [Ab]tatted to
[G]make his blood [D]splatter
[G]"Y ou rocking crazy [C]ice and all
you do is cling [G]static
[A]An d rolling out in [G]Brooklyn late
night is problematic"
[D]His eyes was bloody [Ab]red,
he hung [G]on every word they said
They told [Bb]the kid [Ab]"Back down,
[G]that player shit [D]is dead"
[G]Deep in his[C] heart, he [G]knew he was gone
But [A]he grabbed [D]his .45 and decide
to blaze [G]on
[Gm]With shades [Ab]on founded
[G]had him astounded and
[D]Before [Gm]long the young
[G]man got [D]surrounded
[G]Those grabbed the guns,
so goes the glory
[A]And this is [G]the way I got [D]to end this story
[G]He was out chasing[Ab] cream
and [G]the American dream
[Gm]Trying to [Ab]pre tend the end
[G]s justify [D]the means
[G]This ain't funny so don't
you dare laugh
[A]It's just what comes [D]to pass
when [A]you sell [G]your ass
[D]Life [Ab]is more than what [G]your hands
can [Bb]grasp[Ab]
[Gm]Good night![G]
