[Eb] Can you picture how a melody gets taught into existence?
[A] A little [Em] section inserted and upholds it with persistence.
[Am] Picture in the outline and you start to [F] see the colors
filling in with electric splashes by all the brothers.
[Gbm] Michelle is on the joint, you be missing, they [B] gave you a pillow.
[Bm] I wonder why the off the side of the joint is still in ghetto.
[Am] A medal or award should be given to these heroes [F] for their efforts of revealing
and bringing forth the feeling.
[G] I'm reeling.
Poetic, [Gm] I say, a great proportion.
I hope my [F] little nuance [E] is correct for this distortion.
[Ab] But I say what I say, and who is to say?
[Eb] Because Roy makes the tune, what it is, that's.
[Gm] Rhythmically, we in this like a jeans.
Know what I mean?
[Em] It's only right that me and Mr.
Wright, we here for queens.
[Am] The overtone of funk is [C] being driven by the smoothness,
the benevolence of Roy issued me this [Dbm] jurisprudence to speak.
Or why I put it in a [B] hipper term, and I'm just a [Gbm] humble little germ,
just a hippercursion.
[Am] Poetic, I mean truly [Em] indeed, how every seed
[F] sprinkles with the essence [B] of life to form our breed.
[G] Think about it, sweetie, [Bm] while we give this to the needy.
[G] The musical [F] expression [Gm] is important for a profession.
[Ab] Never stop learning a lesson, and neither should y'all.
[Eb] Before we all stand, [Cm] must acknowledge the form.
[Gm] Before we [Cm] get to bounce, we got to reach for [C] the ball.
[D] Before we [Em] get on stone, we have to get to a crawl.
[F] Check it out now, don't you dare.
Bobby Simmons did a joint called That Dare.
[Ab] Check it out now, and do you do.
Ronnie Boss did [Gbm] a joint called Mr.
[B] Groove.
[C] Check it out now, this is how it would go.

[G] No one's worth that much
About the misery
You start then you die
I'm trying not to hide
[Am] The [F] love inside

I think [C] I'm not ready yet
But I'll beat myself halfway
_ And I'll start [G] again _
Creating what [Gm] I'm living
Living for [F] today
[Dm] Living _ [Bb]
for [F] today
Cause I'm okay It's okay

I'm choking the way to [Em] go
The moon goes away to go
They jump in the way to go
The moon goes away to go
They jump in the way to go
