Another level, is that what you're doing is [Fm] that level?
Yeah, I'm [Bbm] lounging.
I got my man Donald Byrne on the phone.
I want to give a big [Fm] shout out to my little man Nico.
[Bbm] He's two years old.
He's away visiting his grandma, but I miss him dearly.
[Fm] Check [Bbm] it out.
If I'm around this, [Fm] you will find this [Bbm] situation shall advance.
You could take a glance or dance.
Elevated lyrics to arouse the crowd.
Now tell me who's the man to show you how.
Many legacies [C] of brothers who get busy,
[Bbm] and I do it fluid till the suckers get dizzy.
Saying peace to the Blackbirds 125th Street.
And check [Fm] the flow that you need.
[Bb] I'm [C] lounging, lounging, [C] lounging.
Mellow out and just lounging.
Lounging, lounging.
Mellow out and just lounging.
[Bbm] Can't refuse this, never lose this.
It's a choice, just cause my voice is the smoothest.
Dominating through your voice cause I've been around doing work.
And so have tons of other jerks.
Donald Byrne [Fm] word on the track quite [Bbm] exact.
Giving you [C] the format, Jack.
[Bbm] See we gotta pave [F] the way and [Bbm] display.
How [C] to lounging, just lounging.
Mellow [Bb] out and just lounging.
Lounging, lounging.
[Db] Mellow out and just [Bbm] lounging.
Sending [Fm] the whole record.
[Bbm] [Bb] Today in ourselves [Bbm] classical music.
Peace to [Fm] the pioneers but I gotta [Bbm] try and fill [Eb] my throat.
Check out what [Bbm] I wrote.
You can't tap [Fm] into this unless you know [Bbm] the words would shoot.
Like life absolute for real.
So now you got to know the deal.
For [Bb] lounging, lounging.
Just lounging.
Mellow [C] out and just lounging.
Lounging, lounging.
Mellow [Abm] out, check it out.
And lounging, lounging.
[Fm]
[Bbm] [Fm] [Bbm] [Fm]
[Bbm] [C] [Bbm]
[F] Lounging, lounging.
Mellow out and just [Bbm] lounging.
Lounging, [G] lounging.
Peace to Brooklyn where I live, where I live.
[C] Realistic, kinda [Bbm] mystic when I kick this.
You should witness the slickness.
Of the horn player and the dope rhymesayer.
Quite [C] emotional and inspirational.
[Bbm] Philosophical and yes very logical.
Choo-choo use [F] a method for lounging.
[Bbm] Lounging, lounging.
Everybody knows they have times when they want to just lay [Gb] back.
Kick their feet up, you know.
Listen to some good music.
[Bb] Just lounging, lounging.
[Bb] That's right.
I [Bbm] said lounging, I said lounging.
[C] [Bbm]
[F] [Bbm] [Fm]
[Bbm] [F] [Bbm] [Fm]
[Bbm] [Fm] It's rapping.
It's [Bbm] rapping.
[C] [Bbm]
[F] Black [Bbm] experience.
[Fm]
[Bbm] When you, like you said, when you rap up and [Fm] frustrated and you got all [Bbm] this inside.
It's gonna, [Fm] and [Bbm] regardless of what, [Fm]
[Bbm] and what, [Fm] what you are talking [Bbm] about.
Now, the [Fm] reason why this music [Bbm] is so great [Fm] and everybody wants to [Bbm] do it.
Is [Fm] because what?
[Bbm] It's a living [F] [Bbm] music.
And [Fm] what?
It's giving [Bbm] people a chance to [C] express themselves.
Like you [Bbm] got something to [Fm] say, you want to get it [Bbm] out.
And this is [Fm] not just [Bbm] lyrics.
You're talking about literature.
You're talking about [Fm] saying, giving a [Bbm] message to people.
And that's what it is.
And you can't suppress [Fm] that.
And [Bbm] regardless if they don't play it on the radio or they don't do it live.
It's still gonna be heard.
And it doesn't get out of hand.
[Fm] [Bbm] In both jazz [C] and rap there's been [Bbm] times in both of the eras of music that the industry tried to [Fm] change it.
[Bbm] From it's [Fm] classical.
[Bbm] See like, see like, we're the type of rapper, we rock shows, we rock shows, we don't use dats.
Because dats came out.
At all, we don't use dats now.
No more turntables.
If the DJ is [F] up there, he's not really [Bbm] doing nothing.
You know, [Fm] he's just scratching over, over [Bbm] the dats.
And basically what we do is press up instrumental [F] tracks to everything we do.
Because when rap started, rap started with, what they did [C] was, which was so ingenious.
Which was to create a [Db] whole form of urban [F] style music from just two turntables and two records.
And a microphone.
