Spoken Word Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Da poetry
[Bm]By now you s[C]hould know
it's me
The brother of word
[Bm]Giving thanks and praises
To [C]so many names and faces
In different [Bm]places
[C]From '84 to '99
It's been [Bm]a very long time
[C]Since the movement called
hip- hop arrived
[Bm]To this cold country of mi[C]ne
Seen the old, [Bm]the new
And now [C]the true school
And for [Bm]once I can say
[C]Something has changed
Or is [Bm]it just me
In [C]the place [Bm]to be (hardcore)
Am I about to take it [C]in my face
[Bm]Question, where were you at
at the time of the fat [C]shoelaces
When the hell was really [Bm]raised,
huh
I know every [C]face
Writers, breakers, DJ's,
[Bm]MC's, Fly girls
Represent[C]ing, respecting, unwritten laws
[Bm]Rules, star [C]wars
But even though
[Bm]There's one thing I know
[C]And it's been said before
Eliminate [Bm]the distance
It's not where you're from,
[C]it's where you at
Mentally
[Bm]The poetry
[C]Enough love, peace and respect
[Bm]Come correct
You gotta pay your [C]dues
If you've got something
to prove
It is a competition
[Bm]Cause the business side
[C]can't see the mission
a- k- [Bm]a the be
- boy [C]vis[Bm]ion[C]
Two thousand and still [Bm]counting

[Verse 2]
Yo it [C]S- you- see- K- S
And I got[C]ta run but come for the
Bomfunk crew
So you'd better listen if you
don't want to be missing
The perfect [C]combination on a mission
to rock the dancefloor
To hit you right where it hurts,
I'll leave you begging for more
Like Roger, but this is not a story
of a rabbit
Gismo and be
[C]- O- W just got a habit
Of speeding up your heartbeat
Moving you no doubt, so
Bomfunk MC's do it to the crowd
What up looking good, catch me cooking food
