[Verse 2]
The streets [Dm]prounounce me dead
Puttin 2 holes in my head
At [F]the funeral, I had [Em]more friends
than the grateful dead
[Dm]Haters started talkin sayin I went left
Akon took my spot will
[Em]I am took my vest
Started [Dm]beatin on the coffin cause
I could hear the crowd
But they can't hear me cause lil'
[Em]jon's preachin too loud
[Dm]That's when the bishop said last words
for friends and family
Then the fans stood up and said [E]y'all
forgot [Em]the f[Dm]ugees
50 million records sold straight
from the basement
How y'all gon [F]tell [Em]me
wyclef is irrelevant
[Dm]A rapper stood up and said
yup I got amnesia
Last time I remember him
was gone [Em]til novemeber
He said [Dm]I don't spit no more
all I do is sing songs
Last time [F]he felt me was [Em]when I
rhymed with Big [Dm]Pun
That's ightt get the hate
off ya chest
You a rap con artist not [Em]a
Kanye West [Dm](I AINT DEAD!)

[Em]be c[Dm]annubis
But far permit, this is how I started
But my battle raps [F]couldn't get me
[E]groceries from the [Em]super mar[Dm]ket
So I found another target to aim at
I went from [F]food stamps [E]to
the black [Em]a mac's
[Dm]8 track cassettes the [E]cd's the ipod's
[Em]Bmx bixes the hoopdies the hot rod[Dm]s
And my swag come from nazareth
How you gone say [F]I'm dead
when [Em]I rose [Dm]like lazareth
And this ain't mystic I
ain't talkin voodoo
We do carry [E]spears like [Em]the zulu's
[Dm]So watch your mouth boy I ain't dead
Fo' the city gon [F]turn red, [Em]blood will shed
So [Dm]before you speak boy watch your tone
Fo' my chrome gon turn you to a [Em]statue of
stone [Dm](I AINT[F]
[Em]DEAD[Dm]!)

[Verse 6]
[Dm]They all got shocked when
I rose from the coffin
Dust my self [F]off then headed
out to new [Em]jerusalem
[Dm]Destroyed and rebuilt
My voice sound like silk
Audio tune like milk
I used [E]to shop lift [Em]with no guilt
[Dm]And christimas time toy
guns the size of elves
I seen the [F]ra- ta- ta- ta [E]turn
into [Em]the real [Dm]shells
Yup killa you press ya luck
Went to sleep in the pond,
woke [E]up with the [Em]ducks
And this [Dm]ain't gangsta talk,
I don't talk the talk
I suggest you [F]walk or get out
[Em]lined in chalk
And you [Dm]ain't from the street
But yet you walk the streets,
you a [F]C.O.P. a cop [E]walkin the [Em]beat
But [Dm]the rule on the streets
they could turn on you
Like [F]a pitbull after g[Em]ivin him food
Or [Dm]the girl that you bought all
the cars and the jewels
Only to [F]find out on memorial [E]dey fuckin in the
