Flash of light, the flash of life
Verse 1
Am
Em
I'm con fused in the big room
Am
G
Em
All by myself, walking around
Am
Em
It's been too long since
I've seen anybody
Am
Em
what's going on right then a
Am
beautiful woman walks in
G
she says her name's amina
Em
Esus4
come with me
A
Em
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
Am
it's like i didn't have a voice
Em
Am
she led the way and we started walking
Em
down this long bright hallway
Am
G
that kind of sparkled silence
Am
it was kind of awkward
G
Em
it was n't before a minute
Am
when she started talking
G
Em
she said the first thing you need
A
G
to realize if you are dead
Em
D
Em
this is the first I froze up,
Esus4
cause I thought I had
Am
G
lost Pascal's wager
Em
I spent my whole life making music
Am
G
after greatness, she said
Em
A
G
When y 'all die where I pass your lives,
Em
it wouldn't make sense
Am
G
for any other afterlife
Em
Am
G
You are a rapper, a backpacker, an MC,
Em
so you should only be judged
Am
G
by other MCs
Em
Am
Be sides the shock of being dead,
G
Em
this gave me mixed feelings
What about injustice,
Am
and people like Hitler?
Em
Am
The whole thing was off the Richter,
Em
And who was on this council,
Am
Em
and how many were on it?
D
G
Amina led me to a big set of double doors
Em
I didn't know what to expect
A
G
Em
Was I in trouble or would it be alright?
Am
Em
Would I get a pass
A
if they judged me as whack?
G
Em
Then would I get it bad with
one switch motion?
Am
G
She pushes the double doors open
Am
G
I realized that she wasn't joking
Em
D
It was a smorgasbord,
A
G
a buffet of MCs
Em
D
A courtyard full, some friends,
Em
Some of them were dope,
D
Em
some of them were tired
A lot of cats were whack
Am
G
while some of them spit fire
Em
A
We kept on walking till we ran
Em
where these two cats were battling
Am
one of them was a biter
Em
Esus4
Am
amina said this is how we kill
G
Em
time waiting for judgment
Am
Em
we be still kicking rhyme
but this kid's a biter
Am
i've heard him kick it before
G
Em
i've even heard him spit
D
Am
somebody else's lyrics
Em
before let's move on
D
A
we started walking this time
G
Em
towards the building but not before
i heard a bunch of oohs
G
Em
D
i guess that kid got the biz
Am
G
with the quickness
Em
because we all love rhyming
D
G
we all love spitting
Em
we made it to some steps
A
G
of what looked like a courthouse
Em
D
amina now when we get
A
Then watch what comes out
Em
show the judges respect,
Am
speak only when spoken to,
Em
Am
an d if they ever ask you to spit
you better be open to.
Em
Am
I swallowed hard, I wasn't prepared,
G
Em
I still didn't know what was going on
Am
G
or who would be there.
Em
Amina looked me over,
Am
Em
started straightening my gear,
Esus4
got up real close to me
A
Em
and whispered in my ear.
It's gonna be okay,
D
A
you're gonna do just fine,
G
Em
D
I got your back baby boy
Am
you're gonna be alright.
G
Em
I realize that I've heard this before,
Am
G
this was Candace,
Em
Am
G
my girlfriend who died when the Compton effect hit the planet.
Em
D
Do I tell her I know who she is
D
Until the council already
Am
She saw the look on my face,
Em
the look I was willing to take
Am
What they put on my plate,
Em
we up in the courthouse,
G
Em
Almost 20 minutes till
D
G
the bailiff came and got me
Em
We walked in the courtroom,
The judge seat and the arrangements
was laid out in a 6x4 panel
Em
Am
That's 24 seats for 24 heirs,
Em
Am
24 hip -hop gods, oh sit there
Em
Am
All rise, we all rose,
Em
A
the judges trickled in in all black long robes
Em
I kinda froze, these were the gods
Am
of hip -hop about to judge me
And call in question if I served
hip -hop honorably
your honors, by your leave
Em
Am
I request that my client be judged a dope
Em
MC Pac looked up at me
Am
from behind his glasses,
Em
Am
he started slowly shaking his head
as he read my jacket
Em
Am
KRS brought his face in a light,
Em
Rod Kim to his right,
he asked Ms. Kaplan,
D
G
am I reading this right?
Em
Esus4
This is the institution hip -hop
Em
And clearly your client
Am
Em
hasn't written enough bars
Am
Em
I can see the other judges unconvinced
But I sat there quietly
Esus4
Em
while Amina made my defense
Your honors, with all due respect,
G
Em
What about his depth
D
and lyrical complexity?
Em
Snoop nodded his head
Am
and sparked up a blunt
G
Em
Took a couple of tokes
Am
then passed it to Dr. Dre
Em
Who was just taking notes
Am
This wasn't going so well
Em
Am
So I decided to stand up
and speak for myself
Em
A
Your honors, I can see
Am
that you don't think that I'm great
Em
But I can also tell you aren't
Am
fully convinced that I'm fake
Em
Bm
Am
If I may offer a solution, send me back
Em
Let me earn my ascension
A
Prove to the council I ain't whack
Em
The council members erupt
Em
Some shaking their heads,
Am
some of them agreeing with me
Em
There was a call to order,
Am
then a cascading silence
Em
A
One judge said we'll take a short recess
Em
So we back in the lobby,
Am
the minutes felt like hours
Em
But I had Candace back,
Am
I just wanted to be around her
Am
Would they judge me as whack
Em
Or grant me my ascension?
Am
Or would they just send me back?
Em
And I don't know if what the
A
council will decide is final
Em
But this might be the last time
Am
I'll be in front of this panel
G
Em
I'm ready, here we go,
G
Em
With 24 hip -hop legends
Am
G
about to decide my afterlife
Em
Am
Mr. Square, after careful review
Em
Of the complete body of work
Am
and your character too
Em
It's the opinion of the court
A
that you're not ready for responsion
But we have no record
Am
of you being whack or pretending
Em
So after much deliberation,
A
Am
we're sending you back
Give you a chance
Am
to solidify your position at RAP
Em
He said, don't be so quick to thank us,
A
cause we'll be watching
Am
Em
And we'll hold you accountable
Am
if you get out of pocket
Em
D
We'll see you when we see you waiting
