What they tellin' me, but yo,

Am
And about your career, huh,

Can be bought,

for a quarter at the thrift shop

the minute they drop a record
Am
Em
They'll be cruisin', in the acura

the amateur is stamina
Am
Em
Not how long you can rhyme,
Am
but how long you've been rhymin'
Em
Changin' with the times,
Am
and findin' yourself
Em
Still climbing for wealth
Am
Em
Blow for blow, you're still growin',
Em
Am
(All knowin') now that's a pro at it
Verse 4

Me nah gon' need nuttin' else
Em
Am
and knowledge of myself
Em
Me nah gon' need nuttin' else
Em
and knowledge of myself
Verse 5
Am
Em
Thank you mother, I'm out
