[Em]
[B] Yeah, yeah, brand new day y'all.
Turn me up in the top a little bit, dawg.
[Em] You're welcome to know.
[C] You're welcome to hear this one.
Now the clan, [G] Bright and Early.
Listen, I don't [Em] hate [Am] playas.
I don't love the game.
I'm [Em] the shot clock, [Am] way above [E] the game.
To be point blank with you, [C] mothafuck the [Em] game.
I got all this work on me, [Am] I ain't come for [Em] play.
You can show the little shorties [Am] how you pump [Em] and flake, but dawg, not to [Ab] death.
I'm not [Em] impressed, I'm not amused, I'm not [Am] confused, I'm not [G] doed.
I'm grown man minutes, I am not in school.
[Em] Put your hand down young'un, [Am] this is not [Em] for you.
On my tail [Am] with beats by Kanye [Em]-o.
My name on the [Am] marker, your name off the [Em] payroll.
Style [Am] fresh like I'm [E] still a day-o.
And it's been [Am] like that since the [Em] day-o.
I'm on [Am] time with a rollie, a [Em] seiko.
Step on [Am] deck, your neck do what I [C] say so.
[G] Get up or get out, get down or [Em] lay low.
I'm standing in the shadow of a [B] fabulous man.
Brooklyn nigga, I am that nigga, that [Em] dude.
Black people, let's move.
[C] Shout out to my man Tyler Kweli.
Yes, we [G] a topper, topper.
Shout out, shout out, check it [Em] out.
Slim nigga to cast a big shadow.
Cherokee red to shoot the long arrow.
Got more skill, [Ab] more aim, and more ammo.
[Em] You can get it all [Ab] from a big or [Em] small barrel like Hail Mary, full of grace.
Niggas come in and shoot up [Am] the plates [Em] and make it pull up your face.
The deck, I'ma pull out the ace.
From the jungles of the Empire State.
Where ain't no escape.
[C] 247-718.
[Em] And that's like every [C] night, every day.
[Em] From the place that I [Am] settle and stay to the [Em] states.
I'm collecting my pay.
[Am] Blast off, then I'm [Em] back to the cave.
Hold it [Am] down so my family's straight.
[Em] Representing the [Am] family way.
Pro [Em] ball, not for amateur [Am] play.
Been raw since [Em] the amateur stage before the press said the camera was great.
Like a long time handling wave.
You [B] understand the straight?
No doubt.
[Em] That's what it is, that's what it is, and that's what it is.
See?
[C] Ha.
[G]
Cause it is [C] deeper, sweeter, richer, crisper.
[Em] Stronger reception, a sharper picture.
Revolve around [Am] God and involve with [Em] niggas.
These elements [Am] so bevolve my scripture.
[E] And make most of the classic [C] model bigger.
Brooklyn, it don't matter if you holler or whisper.
You're coming through planned cause I'm right here with [G] ya.
Ain't gotta edit your slang, I got it, I get [E] ya.
Yo.
Brothers and sisters, fathers and mothers, the lovers, the leavers, the [Am] doubters, believers, the slayers, [Em] the quitters, the bitches, the [C] niggas.
Rebel guerrillas, the ghetto slayers.
Younger villain from the first to the many [Em] of us.
Act strong.
[C] Ordinary and [Em] plain.
I walk a thousand paces of life [C] ahead of the game.
By the time you get where I'm standing, I'll be [N] gone.
Y'all make moves, but y'all just move wrong.
I [Em] won't bend and y'all must move on.
Cause [B] I move too strong and I know what my feet move for.
Make [Eb] it go without a brand new car.
I was [Em] fresh without a brand new song.
And give a fuck about what [C] brand you are.
I'm concerned what type of man you are.
[G] What your principles and standards are.
You understand [Em] me y'all?
Be [Am] good to your [E] family y'all.
No matter what your [Am] families are.
Cause everybody [Em] need family y'all.
[Am] Raise your [Em] hand, you understand me y'all.
Everybody need family y'all.

Understand [Em] me.
No [Am] matter what your families [Em] are.

That's what it is.
[Am] My man.
[Em] Family of [Am] my family, bitch, you [Em] peep.
[Am] [Em] My man too.
All our love was behind the walls.
All [Am] of those still in the jungle.
[Em] [Am]
Sada, [Em] Bumia, [C] Cynthia, [E]
[Em] Lance, Mel, Life's Real.
[B]
All the real soldiers.
