[Verse 1]
What's [Em]the meanin of ghetto fabulous
[Bm]Not ridin the back of the bus
[C]I'm a revolu[Em]tionary antagonist
Some playas is mad at us for just doin
our music [Bm]out of love
[Em]Some underground heads is hatin
cause we have fun [C]at clubs
[Em]I'm probably on some government
[Bm]list for [C]my rhymin
You a fool if you [Em]don't think they
already tapped [Bm]your line
[Em]Medicine is big business so
my remedies [Bm]is herbal
It's music is for [Em]the people so
we Reflection [C]Eternal
[Em]Listen, you hear the difference between
[Bm]science and science fiction
We [C]blow it out like if you leave on
[Bm]every appliance in the kitchen
at [Em]once, still rolling kind bud
in Cuban blunts
On the corner watchin how kids comin
to Brooklyn for [C]they fronts
[Em]Niggas run past what they need
[Bm]chasing after what they want
Fuck[C]in chumps,
you walk down the [Bm]street and get jumped
[Em]Brooklyn cats like to bubble out
of town no look[Bm]in back
When you a ghetto chef you mastered
the [Em]art of cookin [C]crack
[Em]Some get caught sleepin on the Mother
[Bm]City so when they go
[Em]They come back as tales of [Bm]niggas
we used [Em]to know
Never looked up to see the stars
in all they heavenly glory
Just straight ahead cause the peripheral
is buildings with mad [C]stories
[Em]Not floors but dramas is played out,
[Bm]shorties get laid [Em]out
like respect and fade out like TV [Bm]sets
into the banks of our [Em]memories (let it
be) we'll never [Bm]forget you
[Em]Lyin on your deathbed [Bm]askin for God

[Verse 2]
to bless you
[Em]Good mourning, good [Bm]afternoon,
good [C]night
[G]What have you [Em]done with your [Bm]life?
Every[Em]body time comes to be
embraced by [Bm]the light
You only scared to die when you [Em]ain't livin [C]right,
[Em]man
I'm puttin [Bm]up a hellafied fight
[C][Em]
[Bm][Em][Bm]

[Verse 3]
[Em]I need you all to be clear on
[Bm]exactly what I'm sayin
With your atten[C]tion span I un[Em]derstand
that I [Bm]ain't playin
[Em]You mistaken if you somehow
think it's just me you facin
Starin me down while your enemy
[Bm]is standin a[C]djacent
[Em]My heart is racin but I know
just what I stand [Bm]for
We chasin death care[Em]lessly like
+Jessica+, I +Care Moore+
Who said, "Just because no one [Bm]can understand
how you speak
don't necessarily mean that what
[Em]you be sayin [C]is deep"
In [Em]case you die in your sleep you
[Bm]ask the Lord for a blessin
Some[C]times they sneak up so quiet that
[Em]the silence is deafenin
You'll never know who the assassin
is until it's your time to go
Your life is flashin,
askin for forgiveness but you move too slow
Now the people that you love bear
[Bm]the pain that you once harbored
[C]You was livin for yourself so you
[Em]could never be a martyr
Life is hard,
death is harder; you somebody baby father
Someone's lover, son of your [Bm]mother,
somebody brother
Some[Em]body nigga,
now your spirit in the air like [Bm]a whisper
Hearin your [Em]name mentioned when
we pourin out some liquor
The days go by quicker and the nights
don't seem to differ
It's gettin cold,
so [Bm]I shivered and asked my soul to be delivered

[Verse 4]
Good [Em]mourning, good [Bm]af ternoon,
good [C]night
What have you [Em]done with your [Bm]life?
Every[Em]body time comes to be
embraced by [Bm]the light
You only scared [Em]to die when you ain't livin [C]right,
[Em]man
I'm puttin [Bm]up a hel
[C]lafied fight
[Em][Bm]

[Verse 5]

[Bm]Yo,
