[Refrain]
A G#7
Yo, back in the days I used to listen to records
C#sus4 C#m
Trying to figure out how I could make my own records
A G#7
Working in restaurants, busting on dishes
C#sus4 C#m
Hoping that the man upstairs respect my wishes
A G#7
Cigarette lighters, Ardig wallets, I was selling them
C#sus4 N.C.
'Till I met the B.H. and bust down C# Capella to him
A G#7
He said you got talent and you're going places
C#sus4 C#m
I'd heard that line before but what the heck, I signed the papers
A G#7
Ever since that day I drew my head high it was on
C#sus4
And now I'm mixing new music with the old school songs
[Chorus]
