Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[Am]Yeah[G], chec[C]k check,
test[F]ing
It's clear [Em]out there?
[Am]
[G]Yeah
[F]It's like I'm hang gliding over the hood,
[Em]ha[Am]
[G]
Never [F]worry (ohhh, [Em]no, no, no)

[Verse 2]
[Am]Check, let there be light
[G]No gang banging in new york tonight
Just [F]murals of Biggie Smalls,
bigger then life
Turn [Em]up the kid mic 'cause ya'll
ain't listening right
[Am]What's all this talk that nas
got bought?
[G]I'd rather outline my body
in white chalk
[F]Ain't nobody been where I been,
they at a stand [Em]still
This is all overseen by my man will

[Verse 3]
As [Am]I walk through the valley
shadow of death
I know [G]that I [Em]ain't got much [G]time left
And [F]they don't really wanna
see the good in me
Ain't sat[Em]isfied until they
see the fool in me
[Am](And I) I know my business,
so my sins great
[G](And I) I thank the hood for all
the love they [Em]gave
[F](And I) forgive 'em all,
they did they best to [Em]hate

[Verse 4]
Oh, let there be light
[Am]This ain't the glorified,
just painting the street picture
[G]There's no god in sir bibles,
just blunt and switches
[F]Gillettes cut pain in kitchen
Now every rapper [Em]wanna claim he hang
with kenneth "supreme" [Am]griffith
It's like the same difference cept
when niggaz get arraigned
They [G]don't want the same sentence,
niggaz get to [F]snitchin'
If I could reverse the monsters and turn
forward [Em]the razas
And bring back the niggaz who was livest
[G]Old hus[Am]tlers, reminscing on better days
They [G]home, doing nothing,
might as well be in a cage
Hat[F]ing on young brothers,
one foot in the grave
They used to [Em]love us till we found
our own way through the maze
New [Am]york, set trippin' and flaggin'
Got the west coast [G]laughing,
now esco's asking
What happened? [F]My homegirl
from upper manhattan
She remembers the quar[Em]ters that's latin,
alotta rat- a- tat- tatting

[Verse 5]
As I walk [Am]through the valley
shadow of death
I know [G]that I [Em]ain't got much time left

see the fool in me
[Am](And I) I know my business,
so my sins great
[G](And I) I thank the hood for all
the love they [Am]gave
[F](And I) forgive 'em all,
they did they best to [Em]hate
Oh, let there be light

The son [C]of the au[Am]dio cassette [C]era,
tech wearer
[G]Bullets and baguettes, binzbo's speaker
terror
[F]Till man I get mine till I'm dead,
so I can drive sumpthin [Em]red
Like that horse standing
on it's hind [G]legs
Since [C]arnold and willis in
they bunk [Am]beds
I wanted [C]bread like [G]wonder,
not manned- a- wanno like the parent of lionel
[F]Nas is the ghetto american idol
No [Em]matter what you do you're never
getting my [G]title
[C]I can't sound smart
'cause ya'll run away
They say [G]I ain't hungry no more
and I don't [C]talk about [G]'ye
Like [F]there's no other way
for a ex- hustler
Cake ya, [Em]the x- ray splitter to touch ya,
I beg to [G]differ
When [Am]you're four years into the game,
we [F]can have a conversation
Eight [G]years in the game,
I invite ya on vacation
Ten [F]years in the game,
after I've enjoyed my fame
[Em]Only then I let ya pick my b[Am]rain,
niggaz

[Verse 7]
(And I) right about [G]now (and I) (they don't
[Am]really know)

[Am](And I) (though I walk through the valley) that is tre
williams ladies and [G]gentlemen

Focus on good things [Em]man, good times,
