Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[Am]Rap is our way of life,
that's why we [G]do what we like.
[Am]Born to [A]rock [Am]the m[G]ic like
E .F.
[Am]Hutt, so don't say noth[E]ing.
Yo, yo, I am the [Am]man called
Scorpio, the one that's seen
and never heard.
But all my sons just runnin' [G]they mouth,
so it's time for
Daddy to speak his [Am]words.
You see the babies crawlin' by all the
MCs, and I look good.
And they are ugly while they all get together
sayin' I'm not cool.
The girls is out, bein' my fool.
Cause I'm the first attract[G]ive, [Am]exotic male
To walk around town
with beads in his hair
To be stopped on the street
by the people I meet
Saying, [G]where you get your beads?
Cause you look so sweet
Hey, [Am]for any fellas that think I'm gay
I pull five girls right in your face
I'm not saying that I'm
the playboy king
Cause I didn't make it up, but I made it swing
I spend more on [G]spice
than they [Am]do on clothes
So how could they front that?
They got gusto
They just barely make enough
for a gram of dough
To start hoping and praying for
their next show
But a brother like [A]me could [Am]rock it all day
I'm much smarter than that,
in my own way
And you know what I'm
[F]saying is a [Am]natural fact
Cause mama said he's outside,
where there's a
Hey!
Check me out while I run my game
Just not another
MC can make me feel shame
My name is
Cowboy, not giving no slack
I'm like four, five, six,
better known as
Headcracker
I've been rocking that party
eight years of my life
Got shot with a [G]gun, stabbed with a knife
[Am]Had to pay my [G]dues, had to learn the rules
Had to separate the [Am]smart
from all of the fools
People talk behind my back
and never look to my face
But they make a clear path
when I step in their place
I can make them clap their hands,
stomp their feet
Make them party to the [G]rhythm
seven [Am]days a week
Make them shiver and shake
just like an earthquake
Make the people dance [B]without [Am]a mistake
[G]I can cruise around t[F]he world
all [Am]across the nation
Get a big kick out of time, my tits to pace
Make them hip to the hop
and all that stuff
Cause the other
MCs know I'm just too much
My eyes [G]are brown, my legs are bold
I can tell a
MC [Am]right where to go
I can get a young lady with the
[G]wave in my hand
[Am]I can stretch out long
like a rubber band
Say it one for the treble
and two for the bass
Cause I'm cowboy to put a smile on your
You know
K is for cool and run [G]through my [Am]veins I got,
that's what a bud, so I show no shame
Intelligence is next and that stands for
I, it's something you inherit
and you cannot buy
N [A]is for [Am]knight in armor that shines,
slayin' other emcees with fistin' style rhymes
And
G is for great to describe this man,
my name [G]is
King
[Cm]Lou, I got a master plan
[G]And from the [Am]shores of
Paris to the streets of
Maine, there's a certain
reputation I got [G]to maintain
I got to write good [Am]rhymes and say them well,
and if I don't do that, I know I'll fail
There's a few things I
[G]use to [Am]get me over
That all fit to[G]gether like a
four -leaf [Am]clover
First and most important's visionality
You gotta [G]be innovative,
versat[Am]ile as can be, huh
Second on my list,
you got to know how to flake
You got to make the crowd yell,
cause a major earthquake
Make them stop on the floor
and scream for more
From the very first [B]minute that you
[Am]walk in the door, huh
Movin' right along to the end of the line
You gotta get a flop, girl, on your divine
[B]Have [Am]her come to your [Bbm]shows,
wearin' [Am]nice vintage clothes
Lookin' sharp as it's on,
on the stem of the rose
Belly, belly, bell is potent
Su[B]per high -powered to [Am]make the other
MCs feel devoured
Taught all the
MCs the bird[B]s and the b[Am]ees
But they still can't get no young lady
But I'm the legend in leather,
the lord of the rhyme
If you [B]can't see that,
you must be blind
I always wear black and I always will
Cause I'm [Am]dressin' [B]for
your [Am]fu neral
Head's gonna roll and rappers gonna die
[B]And whoever won the bat[F#]tle,
I'ma [B]give him a try
It [Am]ain't no pressure,
you know I'm [B]fresher
Cause [Am]I was bo[G]rn
to nev[Am]er be lesser
It's more than a record and it
showed to me
Because I came here [B]to set
[G]the world free
from around the way back in the days we [Am]got [B]beat so
you can get paid we made [Am]you a job you stupid
slob now you [G]don't have to [Am]work learn steal or rob
you [G]got a little [Am]bit o[B]f fame and wealth [Am]now
you think you [B]did it all [Am]by yourself huh i am you but
[B]you ain't me because you [Am]didn't start
I'm rockin' till 83,
Melon
Mel is the [G]best that will ever exist
And if I [Am]gotta be a [B]sucker,
suck [E]on this[B][F#][F#m][G]
[Am][B]
We're born, born, born, [E]born
[B]To rock [B]the world
We're born, born, born, born
To [B]rock the world, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
