A
It goes a one, two, three
BbA
I was born with the hunger of a lion, the strength of a sun
GA
I don't need to sweat it when the competition come
BbA
Original style, like an eight of eight drum
GA
So I don't run the track, no, I make the track run
BbA
My momma taught me words, my daddy built rockets
GA
I hold 'em both together now, tell me what I got
BbA
It's a pretty small weapon, I can shoot it, I can drop it
GA
But learn to respect it 'cause you clearly can't stop it
A
Like that...
A
It ain't over 'cause the sharks on the left side, the snakes on the right
A
And anything you do, they wanna get a little bite
A
It really doesn't matter if you're wrong or if you're right
A
Cause once they get their teeth in, nothing really fights
BbA
And razzle me, I do it like I got nothing to lose
GA
And you can run your mouth like you could try to fill my shoes
BbA
But steady little soldier, I ain't standing next to you
GA
I can lay it on the ground before you're even in my view
A
Like that...
[Interlude]
AmGAm
Give me the strength of the rising sun
AmCDAm
Give me the truth of the words unsung
CDC
And when the last bells ring, the poor men sing
D
Bring me to kingdom come
[Verse]
A
This is something for your people on the block to blackout and rock to
A
Give you what you need like Papa, who shot ya
A
Separate the weak from the obsolete, you're meek, I creep hard on impostors
G
And switch styles on the dime, quick-witted y'all
G
Quit tripping, I don't have time for your crying
G
I grind tough sucka make your mind up, are you in the firing squad or are you in the line-up?
BbA
Bang, bang, little monkey man playing
GA
With the big guns only get you slain
BbA
I ain't playing, I'm just saying you ain't got a sliver of a chance
GA
I get ill or I deliver while you quiver in your pants
BbA
So shake, shake down, money, here's the break down
GA
You can play the bank, I'mma play the bank take down
BbA
And no mistakes now I'm coming to get you
GA
I'm just a Banksy, you're a Brainwash, get the picture?
A
It's like that
[Chorus]
A
We swim against the rising waves
DA
and crash against the shore
A
The body bends until it breaks
DADA
The early morning sings no more
A
So rest your head. it's time to sleep
DA
And dream of what's in store
A
The body bends until it breaks
DA
And sings again no more
EA
Cause time has torn the flesh away
DEA
The early morning sings no more
