Hit The Deck Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]I'm the minstrel [F]man,
the [Am]cleaning man
The pole man, the shoeshine man
[G]I'm a nigger man, watch me dance

[Interlude 1]
[G][E][G][E][G][Bm]
[Am][E][Am][G][E][Bm]
[A][Am][G][Am][G]

[Verse 2]
I put the lyrics on the paper with the pen
Evil [Am]E makes the records spin
[G]Islam drops the beats that you rock to
Thought that I would nev
[F]er get you? [G]Got you
Doggin the floor like you know you
never done before
How could a [Am]brother be so hardcore
And [G]still keep you [Am]on
the floor like a maniac
[G]That's your question? Well
I'ma answer that
I'm on the mic tonight
I'm here to do it right
Ice, the [Em]capital [G]T, airtight
Coolest of the cool, [Am]a mack on a mission
Step to [G]me fool - you're missin
Minus, gone, pow, you're outta here
This ain't no game to me,
this is my [Am]career
Throw me a mic, [G]plug it in, "Bet!"
I won't be happy til the [Am]dancefloor's wet
I ain't no rookie, I'm a microphone vet
Evil E's on the set, [G]hit the deck!
[Am]Be easy on the cut[G]

[Verse 3]
Be [E]easy on the [Am]cut[Bm]
[Am]Be easy on the c[G]ut
No [E]mistakes [G]allowed[A][Am][G]
[A][Bm][G][A][G][Am][G]

[Verse 4]
[Am]E- M- C-[G] E- E,[Am] I- C- E[G]- T,
A- N- D, DJ [Am]Evil E
Dog[G]gin the deck like it's
never been done before
You had [Am]enough? [G]"MORE!"
Here we go, I'm about to [Am]blow up
Don't [G]you dare bite my rhymes,
[Am]I'll make you throw up
[G]Poison soaked in an acid bath
Swallow [Am]homeboy, your
throat'll need a [G]skin graft
Toss it up[Am],
while the DJ known as Evil cut[F]s
You wanna know what's
hap[Am]penin - "WHAT?"
The beat become my soul,
[G]I'm goin out of control
Look in my face as my eyeballs roll
Back in my head and the mic glows red
Step [Am]in my face and you'll [G]wind up dead
Yo, thanks, I needed that
I was posessed by this
[Am]treacherous track
[G]Watch out "WORD" [Am]this ain't [G]no joke
A [Am]sucker tried to flex and his
arm got broke
[G]Don't make a move that you'll regret
Evil E's on the set, hit the deck!

[Verse 5]
Kick it Kick [G]it
[Am]
Kick [Bm]it[A][G]
Kick [Am]it[G]

[Verse 6]
[Am]You start to think and won
[G]der bout [Am]how it's done
"An emcee? Maybe I could be one"
[G]Drop the thought, get a job,
change your mind
To be a dope MC takes time
Eight years of mine, no time for draggin
You wanna be an [Am]MC? "Get off
the bandwag[G]on!"
But if it's in your heart, get a pen
Don't stop writin [Am]til the inkflow ends
[G]Work and work and don't halfstep
Dog the [F]mic every [Am]chance you get
[G]Motivation must be kept
Stay down and build your rep
Yo so let me demonstrate,
rap[D]pin as a fine art
[G]And when I'm fin[Bm]ished,
[G]you can take this rap apart
[Am]Analyze my element[G]s and tactics
First I'm [Am]over there,
and then I'm back to this
[G]I jumble topics,
you won't know where I'll go
Back in your [Am]face with a
[G]cold [Am]but steady flow
You feel the power of the
[G]Ice in the first row
[Am]You [G]already know what to say,
"HOOOOOOOOO!!!"
On the mic is a stone cold vet

[Interlude 2]
Evil E's on the set, hit the deck
[G][Am][G][F#m][G]
[Am][G]
[Am]
[G][Am][G][Am][G][Bm]
[A][Am][G][Am][G][Am]

[Verse 7]
[G]I'm in my mode,
called the fourth episode
[Am]Or the last verse, if you wanna de[G] code
So I gotta raise the heat,
hype up the beat
Switch the mic from airtight to elite
Pounce upon the deck, it ain't wet yet
Let me see how hot [G]you can get
Then I'll turn up the amps,
blow out the lights
You're in darkness,
then the mic ignites
Glowin like it did before, but even more
The room is lit, the raps are hardcore
Evil cuts the records like a psycho
with a switchblade
You see a blur - - that's the
crossfade
Loud and proud,
words bombard the crowd
Look up in the air - - you
see a mushroom cloud
I kick flavor to a musical track
Too fast to catch, too complex to match
I'm gettin hyped as hype can get
Evil E's on the set! Hit the deck
