Verse 1
Fm
Cm
I'm con fused in the big room
Fm
Eb
Cm
All by myself, walking around
Fm
Cm
It's been too long since
I've seen anybody
Fm
Cm
what's going on right then a
Fm
beautiful woman walks in
Eb
she says her name's amina
Cm
Csus4
come with me
F
Cm
she said the council's ready to see you
i complied as if i didn't
have a choice
i couldn't even say nothing
Fm
it's like i didn't have a voice
Cm
Fm
she led the way and we started walking
Cm
down this long bright hallway
Fm
Eb
that kind of sparkled silence
Fm
it was kind of awkward
Eb
Cm
it was n't before a minute
Fm
when she started talking
Eb
Cm
she said the first thing you need
F
Eb
to realize if you are dead
Cm
Bb
Cm
this is the first I froze up,
Csus4
cause I thought I had
Fm
Eb
lost Pascal's wager
Cm
I spent my whole life making music
Fm
Eb
after greatness, she said
Cm
F
Eb
When y 'all die where I pass your lives,
Cm
it wouldn't make sense
Fm
Eb
for any other afterlife
Cm
Fm
Eb
You are a rapper, a backpacker, an MC,
Cm
so you should only be judged
Fm
Eb
by other MCs
Cm
Fm
Be sides the shock of being dead,
Eb
Cm
this gave me mixed feelings
What about injustice,
Fm
and people like Hitler?
Cm
Fm
The whole thing was off the Richter,
Cm
And who was on this council,
Fm
Cm
and how many were on it?
Bb
Eb
Amina led me to a big set of double doors
Cm
I didn't know what to expect
F
Eb
Cm
Was I in trouble or would it be alright?
Fm
Cm
Would I get a pass
F
if they judged me as whack?
Eb
Cm
Then would I get it bad with
one switch motion?
Fm
Eb
She pushes the double doors open
Fm
Eb
I realized that she wasn't joking
Cm
Bb
It was a smorgasbord,
F
Eb
a buffet of MCs
Cm
Bb
A courtyard full, some friends,
Cm
Some of them were dope,
Bb
Cm
some of them were tired
A lot of cats were whack
Fm
Eb
while some of them spit fire
Cm
F
We kept on walking till we ran
Cm
where these two cats were battling
Fm
one of them was a biter
Cm
Csus4
Fm
amina said this is how we kill
Eb
Cm
time waiting for judgment
Fm
Cm
we be still kicking rhyme
but this kid's a biter
Fm
i've heard him kick it before
Eb
Cm
i've even heard him spit
Bb
Fm
somebody else's lyrics
Cm
before let's move on
Bb
F
we started walking this time
Eb
Cm
towards the building but not before
i heard a bunch of oohs
Eb
Cm
Bb
i guess that kid got the biz
Fm
Eb
with the quickness
Cm
because we all love rhyming
Bb
Eb
we all love spitting
Cm
we made it to some steps
F
Eb
of what looked like a courthouse
Cm
Bb
amina now when we get
F
Then watch what comes out
Cm
show the judges respect,
Fm
speak only when spoken to,
Cm
Fm
an d if they ever ask you to spit
you better be open to.
Cm
Fm
I swallowed hard, I wasn't prepared,
Eb
Cm
I still didn't know what was going on
Fm
Eb
or who would be there.
Cm
Amina looked me over,
Fm
Cm
started straightening my gear,
Csus4
got up real close to me
F
Cm
and whispered in my ear.
It's gonna be okay,
Bb
F
you're gonna do just fine,
Eb
Cm
Bb
I got your back baby boy
Fm
you're gonna be alright.
Eb
Cm
I realize that I've heard this before,
Fm
Eb
this was Candace,
Cm
Fm
Eb
my girlfriend who died when the Compton effect hit the planet.
Cm
Bb
Do I tell her I know who she is
Bb
Until the council already
Fm
She saw the look on my face,
Cm
the look I was willing to take
Fm
What they put on my plate,
Cm
we up in the courthouse,
Eb
Cm
Almost 20 minutes till
Bb
Eb
the bailiff came and got me
Cm
We walked in the courtroom,
The judge seat and the arrangements
was laid out in a 6x4 panel
Cm
Fm
That's 24 seats for 24 heirs,
Cm
Fm
24 hip -hop gods, oh sit there
Cm
Fm
All rise, we all rose,
Cm
F
the judges trickled in in all black long robes
Cm
I kinda froze, these were the gods
Fm
of hip -hop about to judge me
And call in question if I served
hip -hop honorably
your honors, by your leave
Cm
Fm
I request that my client be judged a dope
Cm
MC Pac looked up at me
Fm
from behind his glasses,
Cm
Fm
he started slowly shaking his head
as he read my jacket
Cm
Fm
KRS brought his face in a light,
Cm
Rod Kim to his right,
he asked Ms. Kaplan,
Bb
Eb
am I reading this right?
Cm
Csus4
This is the institution hip -hop
Cm
And clearly your client
Fm
Cm
hasn't written enough bars
Fm
Cm
I can see the other judges unconvinced
But I sat there quietly
Csus4
Cm
while Amina made my defense
Your honors, with all due respect,
Eb
Cm
What about his depth
Bb
and lyrical complexity?
Cm
Snoop nodded his head
Fm
and sparked up a blunt
Eb
Cm
Took a couple of tokes
Fm
then passed it to Dr. Dre
Cm
Who was just taking notes
Fm
This wasn't going so well
Cm
Fm
So I decided to stand up
and speak for myself
Cm
F
Your honors, I can see
Fm
that you don't think that I'm great
Cm
But I can also tell you aren't
Fm
fully convinced that I'm fake
Cm
Gm
Fm
If I may offer a solution, send me back
Cm
Let me earn my ascension
F
Prove to the council I ain't whack
Cm
The council members erupt
Cm
Some shaking their heads,
Fm
some of them agreeing with me
Cm
There was a call to order,
Fm
then a cascading silence
Cm
F
One judge said we'll take a short recess
Cm
So we back in the lobby,
Fm
the minutes felt like hours
Cm
But I had Candace back,
Fm
I just wanted to be around her
Fm
Would they judge me as whack
Cm
Or grant me my ascension?
Fm
Or would they just send me back?
Cm
And I don't know if what the
F
council will decide is final
Cm
But this might be the last time
Fm
I'll be in front of this panel
Eb
Cm
I'm ready, here we go,
Eb
Cm
With 24 hip -hop legends
Fm
Eb
about to decide my afterlife
Cm
Fm
Mr. Square, after careful review
Cm
Of the complete body of work
Fm
and your character too
Cm
It's the opinion of the court
F
that you're not ready for responsion
But we have no record
Fm
of you being whack or pretending
Cm
So after much deliberation,
F
Fm
we're sending you back
Give you a chance
Fm
to solidify your position at RAP
Cm
He said, don't be so quick to thank us,
F
cause we'll be watching
Fm
Cm
And we'll hold you accountable
Fm
if you get out of pocket
Cm
Bb
We'll see you when we see you waiting
