Exhibit C Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Dm]Oh Lord hear me
[F]God please send her to [C]me
[F]God please send her to [C]me[Dm]

[Intro 2]
[Dm]As we proceed!,
To give you what you need!
'09, brother!, Get live, brother!
[Dm]Ladies and gentlemen of the court
In the hearing against The State of Hip-Hop
vs. Jay Electronica
I present: Exhibit C

[Verse 1]
When I was [F]sleepin' on the train
[Em]Sleepin' on Meserole [Dm]Ave out in the rain
Without even a single slice of pizza
to my name
Too proud to beg for change,
[Dm]mastering the pain
When New York niggas were calling
southern rappers lame
But then jacking our slang
I [Dm]used to get dizzy spells, hear a little ring
The voice of a angel telling me my name
[Dm]Telling me that one day I'ma be a great mane
Transforming with the Megatron

[Verse 2]
Don spittin out flames
[F]Eatin' wack rappers aliv[Em]e, shittin' out chains
[Dm]I ain't believe it then, nigga I was homeless
Fightin', shootin dice,
smokin weed on the corners
[Dm]Tryna find the meaning of life in a corona
Till the 5 percenters rolled up
on a nigga and informed him
[Dm]You either build or destroy,
where you come from?
The Magnolia projects in the 3rd ward slum
[Dm]It's quite amazing that you rhyme how you do
And how you shine

[Verse 3]
like you grew up in a shrine in Peru
[F]Question 14, Mus[Em]lim Lesson 2,
[Dm]dip dive, uh, civilize a 85, uh
I make the devil hit his knees
and say the "Our Father"
[Dm]Abracadabra!
You rockin' with the true and living
Shot out to Lights Out,
Joseph I, Chewy Bivens
[Dm]Shout out to Baltimore, Baton Rouge,
my crew in Richmond
While y'all debated who the truth was
like Jews and Christians
[Dm]I was on Cecil B, Broad Street, Master,
North Philly, South Philly, 23rd
Tas[F]ker, 6 mile, 7 [Em]mile, Hartwell, Gratiot
[Dm]Where niggas really would pack
a U-haul truck up
Put the high beams on
Drive up on the curb at a [Dm]barbecue
and hop up out the back like what's up
Kill a nigga, rob a nigga, take a nigga, bust up
[Dm]That's why when you talk the tough talk
I never feel ya
You sound real good
and you play the part well
But the [Dm]energy you givin' off is so unfamiliar

[Verse 4]
I don't feel ya
[F]Nas[Em] hit [Dm]me up on the phone,
said what you waitin' on?
Tip hit me up with a tweet,
said what you waitin' on?
[Dm]Diddy send a text every hour
on the dot sayin'
When you gon drop that verse
nigga you taking long
[Dm]So now I'm back
spittin' that he could pass a polygraph
That Reverend Run rockin'
Adidas out on Hollis Ave
[Dm]That FOI, Marcus Garvey, Niki Tesla
I shock you like an eel,

[Verse 5]
electric feel, Jay Electra
[F]The[Em]y call me Jay Ele[Dm]ctronica
Fuck that
Call me Jay ElecHannukah
Jay ElecYarmulke
[Dm]Jay ElectRamadaan
Muhammad Asalaamica Rasoul Allah
Subhanahu wa ta'ala through your monitor
[Dm]My uzi still weighs a ton,
check the barometer
I'm hotter than the muthafuckin' sun,
check the thermometer
[Dm]I'm bringing ancient mathematics
back to modern man
My momma told me never throw a stone
and hide your hand
[F]I got a lot of family,[Em] you got a lot of fans
[Dm]That's why the people got my back
like the Verizon man
I play the back and fade to black
and then devise a plan
[Dm]Out in London,
smoking, vibin' while I ride the tram
Givin' out that raw food to lions
disguised as lambs
[Dm]And, by the time they get they seats hot
And deploy all they henchmen
to come at me from the treetops
[Dm]I'm chillin' out at Tweetstock
Building by the millions

[Verse 6]
My light is brilliant
[F]I r[Em]est my case, '0[Dm]9, Act 3
[Dm]First chapter of the end
The last chapter of a new beginning
[Dm]If it's so
The things we do without even trying...
[Dm]Be better than a lot of y'all records,
don't get mad
Morning after, world premiere
[F]Me![Em] For [Dm]real, though?
[Dm]I ain't even gon' say nothing
Matter of fact; I ain’t saying
I don't even know why I'm sayin’ [Dm]this
Jay, you should get Puff to do this over
We moving [Dm]out, onto the next record
And, [F]um, I'ma let this just [Em]ride

[Outro 1]
