The Pen & The Needlz chords and lyrics - LUPE FIASCO

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[F]Wha[Gm]t's up? Gang life sty[F]le.
[Am]That's what I'm saying.
It's like one big per[Gm]son just [Gsus4]said.[Gm]
[Am][Dm][Am]
[Em]
[Am]Before I start,
like to make sure I'm smart
Gather my composure,
rather my swagger and my culture
Pivot my fitted,
then [C]be gin [F]to riv[Am]et
with [G]a change o[C]f lyri[Am]c
In other words, I reposition how [F]I sit it
Then make you feel it like
I mis[Am]pronounce belay
On second thought,
I can't make you feel it
like [F]you diggin' your own grave
Lest you can kill
Bil[Am]let,
a knight of the living passed away
Can you dig me? YMCA
I do it for my village,
the pen and his jawn linen
The [F]beat is [Am]the Beatles,
go together like linen
And the [F]people in some fresh [Am]linen
and some jawn linens
Fresh [F]out of seagull[Gm]s,
[F]the [Am]pen and the needles
Back snatcher, back snatcher
Back something you can't catch
Max, it's sent like a max ratchet
Like a back ratchet
[Am]I'm back at ya,
and I pack like cat backwards
Like a hat's backwards, you know,
when the back's backwards
Yeah, like a back catcher,
the law got a long arm
like a back scratcher
But before I leave mine at home,
like a back catcher
I think about my zone,
where pimps make [C]scratch [G]off
[C]the [Am]track like a DJ, easy
That's my zone, rappers, it's my deck
And if I catch you set trippin'
with my cassette
Sittin' in the zone, [F]rappers,
[Am]it's not a threat
Consider Spaniard where I roam,
rappers, where I hone my skills
They wanna send me back home,
the devil is on my heels
The writin' [F]is sting
like in the [Am]sequences
the police I repeat
We go together like beauty and the beast,
[F]writin' is in my veins
The ink [Am]is the diesel,
the pen and the needles
It's neat, it's neat, it's it's
Swerve, swerve, mightier than a swerve
I'm a swerve, I am a swerve, swerve
Swerve, swerve, I'm all to m[Am]y earth
The word is mightier than a swerve
And my serve is tidier than yours
Like year in St. Louis, your whole flow
I fear [F]I sank through it
[Am]It all became clear
Like a paramedic with an
electric chest kit
Yeah, the gravity of the vocabulary
is the caliber equal to the [Em]Ex calibur
[Am]Swung with the grace of Agassi
and his amateurs
There, there was a deeper depth,
don't know how I got here
I also had a hole in my flow,
it appears I sank to it
My swing, it couldn't be seen,
I applied some paint to it
The invisible man wrapped in bandages,
in critical
Clear, the script and the score say
[F]see the [Am]score is Count Basie
We go together like the
original and the sequel
[F]This is the end of the trilogy
[Am]You're feeling me,
the pen and the needles
Needles, needles
Yo
FNF
Ha, ha, dry brain
Needles, what up, [F]baby?
[Am]Success, what up, baby?
Drew, what up, pimp?
Shaktan
Ha, ha
[Dm]Woo[Am][E][Am]
First step, fif[F]teen[Dm][Am]

[Outro 1]
[Am][Am][Am]
