Tonart: C# minor•
Verse 1
C#m
They say the goodness in life
G#
C#m
Belongs to those who believe
So, I believe (ow)
Verse 2
Yes, ha
C#m
I start to think and then I sink
Into the paper like I was ink
When I'm writing,
I'm trapped in between the lines
I escape when I finish the rhyme, ay, yo
I start to think and then I sink
G#
C#m
Into the paper like I was ink
When I'm writing,
I'm trapped in between the lines
I escape when I finish
Verse 3
C#m
My pop said he was in love
when he made me
Thought about it for a second
C#m
I could hear he was sincere,
wasn't game or promotion
The entire affair's probably
charged with emotion
When love call your heart I guess
you gotta pursue
12-11-73, my life is testament
Praise the beneficent
Element that breath (that's right)
Devoid in the form that make
love manifest
I spent my early years
in Roosevelt Projects
It was a bright valley
with some dark prospects
In '83, Vendy C was the host
with the most
I listened to the Rap Attack
and held the radio close
I listened to the Rap Attack
and held the radio close
This is far before the days of high
C#m
Ay, yo, power from the streetlight
made the place dark
I know a few understand
what I'm talking about
It was love for the thing
that made me wanna stay out
It was love for the thing that made
me stay in the house
Spending time, writing rhymes
Trying to find words that
describe the vibe
That's inside the space
D#
C#m
When you close your eyes
and screw your face
Is this the pain of too much tenderness
To make me nod my head
in reverence?
Should I visit this place in
remembrance?
Or build landmarks here
as evidence?
Nighttime, spirit shook my
temperament
To write rhymes that portray
this sentiment
We live the now for the promise
G#
C#m
of the infinite
We live the now for the
promise of the infinite
G#
And we believe in the promise
Verse 4
C#m
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Yes, yes,, y'all (love)
Verse 5
I start to think and then I sink
G#
C#m
Into the paper like I was ink
When I'm writing,
I'm trapped in between the lines
G#
I escape when I finish the rhyme

Verse 8
C#m
My folks said they was in love
when they made me
I take the love they made me with
to make rhymes and beats
(Can you feel?) The raw deal
is all-wheel driven (right)
Contemplate the essence of beats,
rhymes and livin'
Speech align with the rhythm
(right), designed with the rhythm
Ears and eyes keep in good
time with the rhythm
I shine with the rhythm,
the Black Star Galactica
You're big number fatin', we ancient
like the abacus
After us, I see most proceed
to be trees
Sprouting leaves,
G#
C#m
givin' breeze to the we who believe
I M.C., which means I Must
Cultivate the Earth
Straight back, straight facts,
G#
C#m
heartbeats and hard work
I be the "Funky Drummer" to soften
the hard Earth
G#
(Amin) pray Allah keep my soul
(Amin) pray the same thing again
for all my team
From Restoration to Fort Greene,
and on out to Queens
Uptown To Boogie-down, yo,
yo, just look around
Shook up the world like Ali in
6-3 (right)
I'm reaching a height that
you said cannot be
I'm bringing a light which you said
we can't see
Saw the new day comin',
it look just like me
Sun bursts through the clouds, my photo ID
I bring light to your day and raise
your degree
The universal magnetic,
you must respect it
From end to beginning,
bright, true and living
Ever changing was a state
of magnificent
Building the now for the promise
of the infinite
C#m
Building the now for the promise
of the infinite
Verse 9
C#m
Because I start to think and then I sink
C#m
Into the paper like I was ink
When I'm writing,
I'm trapped in between the lines
C#m
I escape when I finish the rhyme
Verse 10
C#m
I got love, L-O-V-E and and and and I be
Love, L-O-V-E to emcee
G#
C#m
Get Get Get love,
L-O-V-E and and and and I be
Love, L-O-V-E to emcee
C#m
Get Get Get love,
L-O-V-E and and and and I be

Love, L-O-V-E to emcee
Get Get Get love,
L-O-V-E and and and and I be
The M-O-S D-E-Finitely
