[Intro 1]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
Yo, Keith, that trip was kinda long [Em]Word
up, Ced
Excuse me,
aren't you [C]guys Ultramagnetic?
Word, what's up, buddy?
[Em]Yo, I just saw that spacship over there
Let me ask you somethin'
[C]Yeah?
How much money did you make
[Em]this year?
Yo, that's kinda personal, money

[Verse 2]
You wanna [Dm]know my [C]business?
[Dm]I got th[D]ings to do
[Bm]People to [D]meet, people to see
[C]Very important matters to turn [Em]to
A waste of time for me to try to burn you
And [Dm]talk a minute,
you're not worth a conversation
[D]I speak int[Dm]elligently, with information
[C]Goin and flow[Em]in and showin,
you're still growin
Adolescent with a [Am]childish mind
Your brain [C]is small, plus it's [Em]hard to find
I need a microscope,
to see a two- cent brain
That don't [C]think, when they rob and steal
[Em]And rape and kill,

[Verse 3]
and murder their loved ones
[Dm]Now put your brain in the guillotine
Slice up the [D]cold cuts,
[Dm]you're goin nuts in a three inch [C]cell
You wanna low rate [Em]me?
You're better off in hell, feel the flame
[Dm]Fire burn, roast, and toast
Let me heat up your skull,
while I brag [C]and boast
I keep your brain [Em]on stand- by
'Cause this [Am]message is coming from
[Dm]the source

[Verse 4]
[Dm](There's a message in the music that will bring
you peace of mind)
(There's a message in the music that
will bring you peace of mind)

[Verse 5]
Your at[C]tention please,
come [Em]on and let me try this
This beat is funky, so I just
[C]Made up some rhymes that are hy
[Em]per than hyperspace
Ced Gee will kick bass,
face and elim[Am]inate
Rappers who [C]think quick
[Dm]slick with a few tricks
[Bm]Can't be quick [Em]fixed [Dm]if they try this
[C]Man, hey yo, I have the [Em]right to be
On any stage and mic someone
can pass to me
[C]'Ca[Dm]use, I'm in there, and I swear
I'm like Vladimir, no one's best there

[Verse 6]
[C]Step [Em]to me, get to me, or pester me
Confess to me, be guessin' me
Ad[C]dressin' me, be less than me,
or [Em]testin' me
Because it only brings out the best in me
[C]So, yo here's what we
really [Em]need to do
[Dm]Instead of [Am]battlin' we need to
really improve [C]our race
An[Dm]d every other race
Bring 'em together,
and let's face the [C]problems
That we [Dm]need to be [Am]solvin'

[Verse 7]
People are [Em]dyin', starvin', robbin'
[Dm]Bein' discriminated from different jobs
And [Em]things like that, so think [Dm]about that
[C]We have a tool to use that they cal[Dm]l rap
So, yo, let's use it and not abuse it
And in the long run,
we have improved this situation
And turned it into a positive
They doubted this,
but we're proud of this institution
We invented of [C]course
And this message [Dm]is comin' from
the source

[Verse 8]
[Dm](There's a message in the music that will bring
you peace of mind)
(There's a message in the music that will
[Gm]bring [Dm]you peace [C]of mind)
Once again, [Dm]I hear your garbage on my radio

[Verse 9]
[Dm]
Left to right,
and comin' through my stereo
[Dm]I turn it off, go off without show- off
Blow off MC's who can't
talk or read or write
Or learn, stutter,
I think you need to go to [D]rift
[Dm]But watch me shift
The [C]smarter I get, the dumber you get
The better I get, [Dm]the [Am]wackeryou get

[Verse 10]
Ha- ha- hah, I gotta [Am]laugh,
[Dm]MC's are very funny to me
And on Easter,
they're like a bunny to me
[C]Hoppin around,
[Dm]without an education
Formation results in occu[Dm]pation
Better skills, how to sign a application
For a [Em]job, but you'd [Dm]rather be a slob
A [C]parasite eating corn off the cob
Beggin everybody,
you got a dollar for crack[C]?
I'll pay you back
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,
Saturday's here
Where's my money?
It ain't [Dm]funny with a pipe in your face For

[Verse 11]
a fracture,
last time the cops smacked ya
For [C]hittin' your moms and pops
You need a shake in your brain,
adolescent
I'm a [C]vet, you're juvenile,
and driven [Dm]wild, meanwhile
You look stupid and petty,
and now [Dm]senile
[C]How's time in jail without bail?
[Dm]Now you're up fo[Am]r sale,
you're like a prostitute
Another [C]man's wife, on the la- [Em]la tip
Think [Dm]about it again 'cause this [C]message
Is comin' from [Dm]the source

[Verse 12]
[Dm](There's a message [Gm]in th[Dm]e music that will
bring you peace of mind)
(There's a message in the music that
will [Dm]bring you peace of mind)
