_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Because I got a light [B] in my head.
[F#] _ _ _ Because I got a light in my head.
_ _ _ _ Because I got a light in my head.
Like how?
Like that. _ _
[C#] Dancing on the dance floor, girl it's you that [F#] I adore.
That's one stage you scream for more, Africa got vibes galore.
Got my fingers making bodies, tonight I'll snap a [F#m] second time.
After that I guarantee you will be standing next to me.
Left or [E] right side, tape go big, but girl you got to [F#m] make it quick.
Baby, baby, baby, I know I drive you crazy.
Since no mate is my g, girls hold on to me tightly.
Warm personality, that's why they get close to me.
People try their best to drive me wild, say they want to bet my talent.
I know a way, they say come back.
Why?
Because I got a light in my head.
[C#] Yeah, uh-huh.
_ Because I got a light in my head.
[F#] Yeah, uh-huh.
Because I got a light in my head.
Ha-ha.
_ _ Because I got a light in my head.
Like how?
Like that. _
No problem.
Why?
Because I got it like that.
A baby bear [F#m] beat and an African rapper.
Farther by my side, sending beers on the cut.
And DJ's chilling still, but hey, so what?
Got [F#] this in my pocket, fine in my hand.
I got it like that, but you still don't understand.
It [G] comes to me natural, it [F#] comes to me easy.
I just laid back [D#] and met the big D, [F#m] easy.
I never worked [F#] a day in my [D] life.
Single, jungle brother, no [F#] kids, no wife.
A hundred thousand miles from one man, that's many.
Go back where I come from, there ain't worth a penny.
You got a lot of talent, but you fail to see.
It ain't the jewels I got, [F#m] mine's on the sheet.
Play in the [G] rain and [F#] don't get wet.
Walk through the desert and it's snow.
Play in the snow and don't get cold.
I'm just a cool young brother who [F#m] looks kind of old.
Run around the [F#] world, school on the side.
If I commit a crime, get caught hustling.
[F#m] I got ladies uptown and money on the floor.
There's not a thing in the world that I'm asking for.
_ _ [F#] Woo!
_ _ [F#] Uh-huh.
_ _ Why, brother?
I got a lot of money.
I ain't joking, I ain't playing.
I got a lot of money.
_ Ha! _ _
[F#m] I used to be a [F#] player, couldn't be trusted.
Stealing all I never got was two.
You thought that partner knew your city.
I [F#m] thought I was broke.
I'm just a little bitch.
I had him once ran out even one next door.
I had him like that, so what you asking for?
Four to [E] five to seat was my minimum.
And every day, I [F#m] used to go and get one.
One for every [F#] hour on the hour.
One on the way while I was in the shower.
It sounds kind of crazy, sounds kind of woke.
But you see, Africa was the one they loved.
So you see, it got to [E] a point where they didn't care.
They didn't want to give me up, so they agreed to share.
[C#] _ _ _ _ _ [F#] Because I got a lot of money.
I hate you, brother.
_ _ Because I got a lot of money.
That's when you mad.
Talk about it.
I like that.
[E] _ [F#] _ _ _ _
I like that.
[D] _ Huh.
Woo.

I know you got to like that.
You know, my gentleman, right, in Hollywood, I got to like that.

Somebody else got to like that.
