Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am][Fade in chorus]
(You see, it goes like this)
Momma, don't you turn away
[Bm]Just because I've gone astray
Out of the fire, into the frying pan,
[G]this [Am]is the story of a sorry man
[Bm]I have been known to deviate myself
[Am]from the path that is set
But [Cm]let us not forget about [Am]the man who
decided to dedicate his life to the jetset
He is now just a [C]shadow of his former self
[Am]An d dark clouds hover overhead
[Cm]The
living dead, move over, you see it goes like this
I [Eb]could be [Am]a mover,

[Verse 2]
[C]I c[Am]ould be a shaker, don't
you try to get in my way
I'm the heart breaker, the [Cm]money
maker, this will [Am]all be [Cm]mine one day
Well
I [Am]myself do not think that

[Verse 3]
[C]such a raw ambition,
[D]his disposi[Am]tion
To be a sin [G]in itself, though
[Am]Should we notforget about the mess
that he got [C]himself in
Where now [Am]stands this meek an

[Verse 4]
[Cm]d empty ma[Eb]n,
there [Am]once was a typhoon
[C]Earthquaking, a phenomena,
[Am]higher than the rest of us
'Cause [G]he was step[Am]pin' on us,
steppin' over people
And this [C]is how the [Cm]story goes, folk[Am]s

[Verse 5]
I will [Cm]go un[Eb]defeat[Am]ed,
[C]I'll be protected
You think [D]you're big time, I'll
show you big time
Hollerin' [G]an d swallowin' [Am]air,
crawl[C]ing [Am]in th[Cm]e pit of despair
[Am]Once he got his foot

[Verse 6]
[C]in the door,
well you [Am]know he was a fast stepper,
[C]a bad [Am]taste in the mouth kind [Cm]of guy,
funny fella [Eb]though,
always [Am]had a joke or t[C]wo,
but [Cm]be careful, the joke could be on you
Did you ever hear the one about the id, the ego, the super [Am]ego,
the monumental man [D]sat back [G]to
watch [Am]his automobile grow
He [C]was a Lamborghini kind
[Am]of guy, got so[Cm] high
[Eb]He would swear h[Am]e could
touch the sky
[C]But the sky was the limit
He [Am]was calling, he was

[Verse 7]
[Am]crawling,
riddled [G]by [Am]the immensities of life,
[Cm]ladies of [C]the [Am]night would call [Cm]all hours
of [Eb]the day, every [Am]day, all day,
calling [C]for his [Am]mommy
when the day was done
[C]Yes, he [Am]was moving, he w[Cm]as shaking,
[Eb]so lones[Am]ome tonight,
[C]And h[Am]is eyes belied
[Ab]his smile [Am]awhile,
Calling for his mummy but his
mummy didn't come

[Verse 8]
Once he [C]got his [Eb]foot in [Am]in the door,
well you know he was a fast stepper, a bad
[Bm]taste in the [Am]mouth kind [G]of guy,
funny [Am]fella though,
always had [Bm]a joke or two,
[C]but be care[Eb]ful,
the joke could be on you
Did you ever hear the one [Am]about the id, the ego, the super ego,
the monumental man sat back
to watch his automobile grow
He was a Lamborghini kind of guy,
got so high
He [Cm]would swear he [Am]could touch the sky
But the sky was the limit

[Verse 9]
I could [Cm]be a mover,
I could [Am]be a shaker, don't you try to get in my [C]way
I'm the [Am]heart breaker, the money maker,
this will all be mine one day
[Cm]I will go undefeated,
[D]I'll [Am]be protected
[Cm]You [Eb]think you're b[Am]ig time,
[C]I'l[Cm]l show you[Am] big time
Hollerin' and swallowin' air, [G]crawling in [Am]the pit of des[C]pair[Cm][G][Am]
