 '81 was thEme year shit hit the fan in a mCajor way

 a saGd day for inspiring artiDsts

 Almost 20Em years after the fact IC'm still on my hustle

 DiggGin' graves for an inspiring arDtist

Pushing daises up

 And never Emcompromise the arts andC make a crowd clap

 Shit Gon since the first show D

 But weEm turned feces to fertilizer C

 So when you diss Git's just food for the flDowers to grow

 Sold 15Em plus out of baCckpacks, no trunks

 ToGo young to drive D

But live hip hop

 And thEme kids are upstate kidsC that thought rap was pGast tense, hence Dthe last name

 Got naEmme for playing basements and Csuch and making songGs that our friends

 loDved

 And wEmhen the fish bowl got too small Cto hold the goldfish

 We Gfilled our gills with water aDnd ripped that mother fucker like

 So take a sBm7tep back

And a breath in

 Let it oEm9ut now

Put your chin up

 You can doBm7 it tiger

You a man now

 And Em9in your dream it's time to do the best you cAan now

 We bring ourEm7selves down

 And buildBm7 oursF♯elves up in disappointment

 How fragile weAm7 are

 So fragile we Am7are, we just don't show it

 We'll shake uEm7p this town
