Chords for The Making Of BlocBoy JB & Drake's "Look Alive" Video With Fredrick Ali | Framework

Block actually called me.
He was like, Ali, [E] like, what's up?
He said, guess what?
I said,
what's up?
He said, man, guess who I'm finna do a song with?
Drake.
I'm like, get out of here.
You know, I'm like, man, you [Gb] playing.
They was like, I'm dead serious.
Showed me the messages
and everything.
And like right after I see like 10 minutes later, Drake [E] called me.
He was like,
I need you to shoot the video.
We need to go ahead and get everything together.
So in my head,
I'm like, [B] me?
All [Bb] right, let's go.
Let's get it.
_ [A] _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ [A] _ _ [Bb]
Oh, [A] well, fuck them, dawg.
[Bb] We gon' see how hard they ride.
I get ready to [A] go outside and I spit
it [B] with the cops.
The [Ab] way this video actually embodied the song, this was the inner city of
[Eb] Memphis where people don't just really get to see.
Drake was saying he just wanted us to pick
out the spots that like signify a lot to us.
What we didn't want to do was like do the generic
Memphis places.
We didn't go to any tourist spots.
When we dropped the song, like the video dropped
right then there at the same time, because it was important for everybody to see
this video when they first heard the [F] song.
_ [A] _ _
[Bb] So the beginning of the video, this is Shelby Drive.
To my left, we got the Southland Mall.
You know, [E] you got Southbrooks over here, the little shopping center.
I honestly [F] think it was
about 30 degrees [B] outside.
You're not supposed to fly your drone [Gb] when it's this cold [E] outside.
And I lost complete signal with the drone.
It actually landed in some apartments like
right here.
That's where I ended up finding my drone.
Like I shouldn't be in these apartments,
[A] but I'm finna get this shot.
[F] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ [A] The gym is actually Penny Hardaway's gym.
People know his gym.
So there was a necessity.
We had to
go to [Bb] the gym.
Everybody right here, this is Block _ Nation.
You got Drake here.
You got Blockboy JB
here.
Everybody in this one spot.
It was crazy.
Everybody had a good time.
Him doing the shoot
dance, in my head, we kind of figured he was going to pop it out.
I'm behind the camera crying,
laughing, because he actually doing it.
And then he even threw in the hotline bling move with it.
I'm like, okay, he been practicing this move because he actually [A] do it where he can add
something else to it.
When he hit this move, I was crying, laughing.
[Bb] I don't know.
_ [F] _ _
_ _ _ [A] Now we're at Club Love.
[Bb] Everybody in Memphis [E] know Club Love.
This is where everybody really be at.
It was really packed.
Everybody who was here did not even know we was coming up.
We [Gb] were just down
there dancing and stuff first.
So Block was down there.
Then Drake hopped over _ _ after VIP section,
just hopped on the floor with everybody and started dancing too.
[Bm] Shoot, shoot, [Db] shoot, shoot, shoot.
After 10 minutes of them just [A] straight dancing, just doing whatever, Drake was like,
hey, just play the song.
So he gave DJ the song, they played it, and we just started shooting the video.
I make this camera on the side and I ain't on the other side. _ _
Yeah. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [F]
This [Bb] is the Chicken Master.
[F] Also known as Pierre, but we call him Chicken Master.
And I seen him do it for the first time.
I told him, I said, hey, I don't know what you doing.
But I was like, hey, just keep doing this.
I don't know, it's something about this move
that just stand out.
And he just kept doing it.
He actually made a song about the dance,
and [Gm] shit hilarious. _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] This was the most difficult shot to even get.
FedEx would not let me in with this camera
equipment.
I had everything.
They was like, no.
[A] What they end up saying was, if I film
everything, I can't shoot the court.
[B] Do not shoot the court.
Block and Drake, they was on
court side.
So they actually on the floor.
Drake called, he had called me.
He was like,
hey, be on the lookout.
Drake knew once he got on this court, they gonna put me on the big screen.
And the funny thing was, after we got off the phone, they put him on there immediately.
And I'm like, he was right.
Just recording.
_ [Dm] [Gb] This Moneybagg Yo, he made an appearance to the FedEx phone game.
He just so happened to be
at the game too.
Even with Z-Bo, he made his appearance in the video.
It was everybody you know and love in Memphis who was seen in this video.
_ _ [A] _ _ [Bb] _ _
[Am] _ _ _ _ [A] Now we are at Block Hood on [Bb] the block.
What made this a very important spot [E] for Block to
even shoot at was just for the fact that's what just made him.
He grew up at this spot.
That's when he became Block Boy, when he was here.
It was real big for him to come back to this spot.
So no matter where he go in the future, you're gonna always remember where he came from.
_ _ _ _ [E] Some people might just hear it like it's just a cool feature and everything.
[F] But people in Memphis know, and even a lot of people outside of Memphis understand when they
saw the video, [Dm] this meant a lot to the city.
[F] For them to actually use [Gbm] Memphis people to do
the video.
The producer Memphis, Takeaf, everything [E] about this whole thing was Memphis [A] verified.
_ [Bb] _ _
[N] _ _ _ All right, right here, this is the best part of the video.
I'm telling you, hands down. _ _ _ _ _ _
The Yo Ali. _ _ _ _ _
