E
Conceive true deception multiplied a million fold
Dmaj7
Visualize the yin and yang in a battle so intense
E
That we get em confused
F#m
The resident evil specialize in misconstruing
E
We wanna be at a presidential level—what are we doing?
Dmaj9
Fooling ourselves, clowning ourselves, playing ourselves
E
By not being ourselves
F#m7
We can't babble no more than we can bob our head offbeat
E
Nimrod by the time we forty cause we can't get off meat
Dmaj7
While we ask no reason for the misplacement of the season
E
Look at the picture that's painted
F#m
Tainted as the mind who's blinded to the point
E
Where Sodomites get all the rights
Dmaj9
We fall for fights with fisticuffs
E
Get pissed enough to miss the bus
F#m9
It disgusts me to see my folks run up on
E
I say stand upon this section of time marked Revelations
Dmaj7
And recognize this mind-numbing reality of horror
E
Known as mankind
F#m
Jesus and his twelve disciples make thirteen
E
A righteous number of righteous men
Dmaj9
Even Judas the Betrayer came true in the end
E
The Devil say the end is the beginning
F#m7
They teach that we were the product of incest
E
Invest no level of self into their system of Paganomics
Dmaj9
Stand with us and don't look back upon it
E
Just face this mindstate
F#m7
Otherwise Babylon


[Interlude]
N.C.
Like memories of yesterday

E Dmaj7 E F#m E Dmaj9 E F#m7 E Dmaj7 E F#m E Dmaj9 E F#m9

[Verse 1]
E
I bet you never heard of a playa with no game
Dmaj7
Told the truth to get what I want, but shot it with no shame
E
Take this music dead serious while others entertain
F#m
I see they're making their paper so I guess I can't complain
E
Or can I? I feel they're disrespecting the whole thang
Dmaj9
Them hooks like selling dope to black folks
E
And I choke when the food they serving ain't tasting right
F#m7
My stomach can't digest it even when I bless it
E
I'm confessing one more lesson from the South, we in the house tonight
Dmaj7
Now hootie who wants to oppose? Suppose
E
We rolls through Headland and Delowe
F#m
Where me and my niggas would pass the flow
E
And got down for ours like hind catchers
Dmaj9
My mind catches flashbacks to the black past
E
While mind close niggas laugh at
F#m9
The Southern slang, finger waves and Mojo chicken wangs
E
I grew up on booty shake we did not know no better thang
Dmaj7
So go 'head and, diss it, while real hop-hippers listen
E
Started by Afrika Bambaata, so you and your partner
F#m7
Gather your thoughts


[Hook]
E
Something's gotta change
                       Dmaj9                              E
Sounds of laughter and happiness turn my teardrops to rain
                  F#m                           E
Been bearing this burden for too many of my days
                      Dmaj7                         E
Looks like breezes of Autumn done finally blew my way
F#m7
Like memories of yesterday


[Verse 2]
E
Uhh, born Antwan Patton but my partners they call me Big Boi
Dmaj7
It's the nigga the B-I-G, be speaking the truth not talking that shit boy
E
I'm thinking of checking my traps and busting my raps
F#m
And throwing them craps
E
7 Eleven is no convenience, you pumping your gas but watching your back
Dmaj9
For the robbing crew; thinking they're robbing you, you must be cautious
E
To staying up on your game and pimping these crows, you must be flawless
F#m7
Like Mortal Kombat, but fucking these wombats got you dizzy
E
My nigga you know if I wanna be playin
Dmaj7
But runnin up on me like you miss me
E
You catching the wrong vibe, packing your shit and rolling your eyes back
F#m
Flexin up on the corner tossin your dice and rollin your Cadillac
E
But man it seems I'm reaching out and touching the wrong nigga
Dmaj7
Don't expect it to be pimping get your index off the trigger
E
As we bust, us, we leavin em in the dust
F#m7
So keep that caine up out of your nose
E
I said my piece and then I hush
Dmaj9
As the calendar keeps flippin', niggas dippin'


[Hook]
E
Something's gotta change
                       Dmaj9                              E
Sounds of laughter and happiness turn my teardrops to rain
                  F#m                           E
Been bearing this burden for too many of my days
                      Dmaj7                         E
Looks like breezes of Autumn done finally blew my way
F#m7
Like memories of yesterday


[Verse 3]
E
Our dearly beloved, we are gathered like soap is to lather we come clean
Dmaj7
Some issues need to be addressed like envelopes I mean
E
Oh, like Liberty Bells, yes them bullets keep on ringing
F#m
On fire like the Georgia Mass Choir, we keep on sanging
E
Bringing our folks closer together cause they severed us from the get green
Dmaj9
Light and we ain't gon' stop until we hit the big screen
E
Psych, because no one is free when others are oppressed
F#m7
So, we hit the stage and then we fly back to our nest
E
Like some eagles, people don't understand
Dmaj7
Just like their parents don't be caring
E
I'm speaking bout you playing with that phony stuff you sharing
F#m
In your raps Mercedes Benz and all your riches
E
Thinking you got it but get it, get it but you ain't pimping no bitches
Dmaj9
'Cause you flauging; falling like leaves into driveways
E
Isn't it lovely smoking good and sloppy head on highways
F#m9
Fridays are tight but Saturday just makes it old
E
Winter nights are hot warm enough to feed your soul
Dmaj7
Growing old

                  F#m                           E
Been bearing this burden for too many of my days
                      Dmaj7                         E
Looks like breezes of Autumn done finally blew my way
F#m7
Like memories of yesterdayx


[Outro]
E
See all them leaves must fall down, growing old
Dmaj7
Fat titties turn to teardrops as fat ass turns to flab
E
Sores that was open wounds eventually turn to scab
F#m
Trees bright and green turn yellow-brown
E
Autumn caught em, see all them leaves must fall down, growin' old
Dmaj9
See all them leaves must fall down, growing old
E
Fat titties turn to teardrops as fat ass turns to flab
