Found it at the [B] groove with the [G] beat when I let go.
[F] So put your worries at [A] home.
Get up and [B] groove with the [D] rhythm in your soul.
And now I'd like to [Eb] pass the mic to the [G] people

and you pay a fee.
[Eb] Do what I do [Ab] professionally to tell [Eb] the truth.
I am exactly what I want to be.
[Ab] And I had [Eb] brought up an [Ab] MCA.
I let him [Gb] ride this joint in [G] an old school way.
Well, I'm on [Eb] to the crack of [G] dawn.
Mowing down MC.
Slice a mow in the lawn.
I go, oh.
[Abm] Like nothing [D] you've seen.
