Yeah... ladies and gentlemen...

E
Am

Where any given second,
anybody can get it
Em
You better hold on tight
Am
[echoes out]
'cause life can take a turn
for the worse
And have you switching from
the Coupe to the hearse
Em
You better peep this verse
Am
The streets ain't no joker,
man...
The sidewalks might get you first
Em
So wherever you rest you better
Am
don't sleep
'cause like Denzel said,
you could either be a wolf or a sheep
And that ain't even criminology
I'm talkin bout the everyday 9 to 5 people,
Em
still gotta fight the evil
Am
You could ride the fast lane or the train
The illest weapon you can load ain't your nine,
E
boy, load your brain
Am
You ask a real live gangsta and he'll
tell ya the same (you know)
A lot'a dummies die young, man,
Em
simple and plain (fa'real)
Am
A lot'a kids want to show they got heart
So they wild out,
Em
Am
skip class (come on man)
Em
And trade book smarts for streets smarts
Am
(you know better than that)
But ask yourself,
even if you got one target
Ain't you better off with two darts?

(nope) JUST HOW REAL IT IS
MESS AROUND AND FIND OUT JUST HOW
REAL IT IS (Welcome to my world of)
Verse 4
Am
Bumps, bruises, scrapes, cuts, aches and blisters
Typhoones, mysoones, earthquakes
Em
and twisters
Am
It's the picture my life fits in
My whirldwind rotates,
Em
elevates and transcends
Am
Watch me shine in the streets
like some fresh new rims
Watch my enemies retreat
E
as I collect my wins
Em
Am
Every 25 thousand I start over again
To renew my history so skip
Em
repentin my sins
Am
Here's some words of advice you
can share with'cha friends
Tell em not to fall victim to
the short term ends
Comin up fast,
I'm sure you'll impress the skins
But if you're too deep you're guaranteed
to catch the bends
You could spread news... north,
east, west and south
My universe will expand way
beyond New York
You got two ears,
two eyes and just one mouth
So look and listen both over
before you talk
I'm keepin all my enemies
outlined in chalk...
On the blackboard,
now did you get the wrong idea?
I suggest you change the currents
in your atmosphere
Once you get yourself together
Verse 5
I'll remain right here
Am
Rent, bills, skills, business
MESS AROUND AND FIND OUT JUST HOW

Uh- huh... Uh- ha... c'mon! (We really don't have time
for this...)[beat stops again]
(Let's get... let's get back on schedule,
aight?)
[beat switches back]
Verse 6
Aiyyo it's all real, every inhale, every exhale
Am
Every extra breath from birth's
been a blessin
Plus I go through some professin and
confessin (stay calm)
I stay grounded with common sense
in my lessons (what?)
Life is a test,
I'm studyin not guessin (true)
I learn answers,
ask and answer questions
Like why is a chromosome,
C
Am
axis, cause and effect
So respect what the god's
