Here we go (come on come on)
Now here we go
Here we go (come on come on)

[Verse 2]
Stay strong this [Am]ain't for
the [Dm]faint hearted
[Am]My name's honored cause
my style is insane retarded
Remain [Dm]hottest from St.
Marks [Am]to St. Thomas
Take game farther than [Dm]the put-
put [Am]planes charted
The same artist [Dm]who smoke
[Am]rainforest and bang hardest
My brain smartest break
a nigga like a lame promise
All [Dm]city like train bombers
[Am]Check out the pictures we
painted (yeah)
More [Dm]col orful t[Am]han Kelis naked
Your skills is least debated and
your album least awaited
Even Big Tigger would[Dm]n't let
you in "Tha [Am]Basement"
Face it [Dm]y'all niggas face down
with your legs kicking
[Am]They call your momma Roy Jones
cause she raise chicken
You're "Down for the Count" like Rah
Digga I'm straight spittin
Make pigeons say, "Uh uh,
no they didn't!"
Yes [Dm]we did so god bless [Am]the kid yo
I got my own so I never stress his no

[Verse 3]
In this journey you're [Dm]the journal
I'm [Am]the journalist
Am I eternal or an eternalist?
Soon as we showed up
I sensed nervousness
As soon as we rolled up
y'all niggas burn to this

[Verse 4]
In this journey you're [Am]the journal
I'm the journalist
Am I [Dm]eternal [Am]or an
[Dm]eternalist?
Soon as we showed up
I sensed [Am]nervousness
As soon as we rolled up

[Verse 5]
y'all niggas burn to this
[Am]
Yo we send this bullet straight
towards your brain
We taking over like Moors in [Dm]Spain
there's more [Am]to gain
Runaways [Dm]get aboard the
train (come on)
You can[Am]'t ignore the pain
(no)
When it come down like
the pouring rain
Caught the Train of Thought it clanked
across the raw terrain
The cold weather break
your spirit like a water main
I looked in [Dm]your eyes and I saw the shame
[Am]Y'all don't know that our grea[G]tness
came [Am]be fore the chains
No you can't imagine a future
where this [Dm]all can change
[Am]If one of us ain't free
then [Dm]we all to blame
[Am]So we attack each other figh[Dm]ting
project wars and thang
[Am]It's all the same across
the board we [G]fall for game
[Am]You wanna see through that shit then
you [Dm]can call [Am]my name
Kweli I chop it up like raw cocaine
I drop [Dm]gems at top ten,
I'm not for the [Am]fame
You wanna test and [C]I bet you get
[Dm]wrecked like lost [Am]planes
Yo

[Verse 6]
In this journey you're [Am]the journal

[Verse 9]
I rock for the purists [Dm]and
I rock for [Am]the players
I rock for the fellas and I rock
for the ladies (come on)
I rock for the elders and I rock
for the babies (yeah)
I rhyme to the sirens that [Dm]cry
in the [Am]night (yeah)
Live on the mic even though I've [Dm]been dying
to [Am]write (yeah)
Since the days of fly[Dm]ing a kite and
ridin my [Am]bike (come on)
Open my eyes and keep the prize within
my line of sight (yeah)
Now cats drop out of school to get fiends
high on a pipe (word)
Seem like that's the ghetto way of
[Dm]tryin [Am]to fight
The system thats based on try[Dm]ing to
stop you from shinning your [Am]light
We dying in spite of getting rich
That's why I rhyme like
a battle emcee
Battling [Dm]the tragedies
[Am]and fallacies
That be killing niggas quick
[Dm]er than infant [Am]mortality
[Dm]They acting like whats going on
now is distant [Am]reality
Behaving so casually that they
become a casualty
Plus they don't wanna
battle me anyway
They try to walk away but they
[Dm]stumble like Macy [Am]Gray
Cats hit the tunnel to rumble [Dm]and say,
"Hey [Am]DJ!"
Make me wonder why they call
[Dm]Sunday [Am]the lazy day

[Verse 10]
In this journey you're [Am]the journal

Am I eternal or an eternalist?
Soon [Dm]as we showed up
I sensed [Am]nervousness
As soon as we rolled up y'all
niggas burn to this

[Verse 11]
In this journey you're [Am]the journal
I'm the journalist
Am I eternal or an eternalist?
Soon as we showed [Dm]up
I sensed [Am]nervousness
As soon as we rolled up
y'all niggas burn to this
