_ _ _ Started singing [Bb] the [Eb] blues.
_ [Bb] _ Calling what's [Fm] man like.
_ _ Now they talk like [Bb] the king did.
From Sav-I-Am to Mamas [Fm] and that night.

_ Well, this [Fm] is what's happening. _ _ _ _
They think [Eb] that he's got _ [Bb] _ the whole [Fm] thing now.

_ _ A foolish young man [Bb] _ _ _ from the people [Fm] from Strange Isle.
_ _ [Ab] He voted [Bb] his life _ to _ become a [Fm] Caucasian.
_ _ [Ab] He stopped [Eb] eating [Bb] corn.
_ _ He stopped [Fm] eating greens. _ _ _
He traded [Eb] his dashiki [Bb] for _ some short-ass [Fm] jeans.
He _ learned [Eb] to play golf.
[Bb] _ _ And he got a good score.
_ [Fm] _ _ Now he's just [Bb] doing jail.
_ _ I ain't no nigger no more.
_ _ I _ _ _ _ don't _ understand [Fm] you.
_ _ Could you please [Bb] speak more _ clearly? _
_ [Fm] Mercedes _ _ _ Benz.
Who is who?
[Bb] I don't know.
And what is [Fm] what?
I don't know.
And why is [Eb] this _ [Bb] _ appropriate?
_ [F] _ That's a funny [Fm] pronunciation.
I've never heard it before.
If you don't like [Bb] what you get, that's what you has [Fm] got.
A problem.
Drop it [Bb] in the dirt.
Drop it.
Yeah. _
And [Fm] let it rot.
I can smell it now.
It's [Bb] all for me.
Here it come.
Here it come.
Well, [F] surely come.
[Fm] I told you he was coming.
And pick it up.
That's [Bb] _ _ right.
Cause he [Fm] wants some.
And he wants it for free.
And when [Bb] one day there will come a day.
You wonder [Fm] who.
You _ _ use the words.
Who [Bb] am I?
_ And what [Fm] you do.
I use the words like a book on this.
[Eb] Scratch your head.
That I don't [Bb] want to _ argue.
And look [F] around.
To see [Fm] what's going on.
What [Bb] you lost.
Can't seem to find it.
You'll not [Fm] be found.
I'm not saying anything.
You know what [Bb] you are.
I know. _ _
I'm what [Fm] you is.
I'm the kind of guy.
You is what [Bb] you am.
That I'm doing. _ _
I'm a man.
[Fm] _ A punk.
S-I-C.
You [Bb] live in your mind.
A pillow.
_ _ See what [Fm] you got.
Some golf clubs sticking on the drum.
You are what you is.
I'm [Bb] going down to the lake sunset.
And that's all it [Fm] is.
Give me five years.
You are [Bb] what you is.
Cause I'm over.
_ And [Fm] that's all it is.
_ _ You are [Bb] what you is.
_ _ _ And that's all it [Fm] is.
_ _ _ You are [Bb] what you is.
_ _ _ _ And that's [F] all it is.
[Fm] _ _ _ And what [Bb] you is.
_ _ _ And that's all it is.
