E G
Like we always do about this time, ink lines for the sick rhyme inclined,
D A
It’s grimy shit but naught that can’t be fixed with a little bit of spitshine,
E G
Big time like Frankie in Vegas, inspiring like Ali and Frazier,
D A
Spit it out till we spilling out on to the street start a party up with our neighbours,
E G
I’d rather be part of your playlist, than ever be part of the A-list,
D A
Harness the energy, heart of a pedigree with the scars of a sadist,
E G
I go so hard on the pavement; I go so far with my statements,
D A
That I don’t know where they end and where I start it’s all part of game it’s,
E G
The farthest I’ve came since I started to play it,
D A
I spar with these artists, the heartless and brainless,
E G
We’re harnessed by chains that are hard to escape and you change then they label us bastards or traitors,
D
They’re charlatans, they’re haters, they start on us but they’re fake as,
A
Our parliament, but don’t be disheartened by them pardon their failures,
E G
If we don’t forgive our enemies, we’ll crawl the walls like centipedes,
D A
Burn our energy like fossil fuels and fuel our own damn effigy,
E G
And we’ll all burn like Hennessey, so keep on then and step with me,
D A
John Lennon let it be, dead the beef like abattoirs, before these scavengers tear at me
E
I’ve been waiting to come back,
G
Like where the hell is the show?
D
Like a balloon on a thumbtack,
A
Getting ready to blow,
E
I’ve been waiting to come back,
G
Like where the hell is the show?
D
Like a balloon on a thumbtack,
A
Getting ready to blow
verse 2
E
And it might blow up but it won’t go pop,
G
And it might blow up but it won’t burst,
D
She said she might grow old but she won’t grow up,
A
Well she might, but only if I go first,
E G
She wears her heart on her sleeve like; she’s wearing a patch on her shoulder,
D A
It’s not a matter of whether I can catch her, more a matter of whether I can hold her,
E G
She thinks out loud she’s got me; she laughs with her whole body,
D A
I think about how she got it all figured out and wonder why she’d even want me?
E G
Each night I find it’s the same ole, when I crawl inside in the evening,
D A
I lie down next to an angel; fall asleep and fly with my demons,
E G
They say don’t live in the past and live each day like it was your last but,
D A
I’d rather live each moment like it was my first, take it slow and sip from the glass,
E G
Savour the moment, spit vicious bars then pray for opponents,
D
Sounds so serious don’t it? But I’m not concerned with a thing,
A
This is book three, Tolkien, Return of the King,
E
The kings have arrived; we drink from the sky,
G
We fall from all ‘cause we think we can fly,
D
But our wings have been tied, and the winging and lies,
A
Have me I’m wishing that I could bridge the divide,
E
You living the life? In the blink of an eye
G
The shine of the bling and the rims that you ride,
D
Can all disappear so live for the rhyme,
A
Not material things your gift can provide
E
I’ve been waiting to come back,
G
Like where the hell is the show?
D
Like a balloon on a thumbtack,
A
Getting ready to blow,
E
I’ve been waiting to come back,
G
Like where the hell is the show?
D
Like a balloon on a thumbtack,
A
Getting ready to blow
