Verse 1
C#m
G#m
I'm con fused in the big room
C#m
B
G#m
All by myself, walk ing around
C#m
G#m
It's been too long since
I've seen anybody
C#m
G#m
what's going on right then a
C#m
beautiful woman walks in
B
she says her name's amina
G#m
G#sus4
come with me
C#
G#m
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
C#m
it's like i didn't have a voice
G#m
C#m
she led the way and we started walking
G#m
down this long bright hallway
C#m
B
that kind of sparkled silence
C#m
it was kind of awkward
B
G#m
it was n't before a minute
C#m
when she started talking
B
G#m
she said the first thing you need
C#
B
to realize if you are dead
G#m
F#
G#m
this is the first I froze up,
G#sus4
cause I thought I had
C#m
B
lost Pascal's wager
G#m
I spent my whole life making music
C#m
B
after greatness, she said
G#m
C#
B
When y 'all die where I pass your lives,
G#m
it wouldn't make sense
C#m
B
for any other afterlife
G#m
C#m
B
You are a rapper, a backpacker, an MC,
G#m
so you should only be judged
C#m
B
by other MCs
G#m
C#m
Be sides the shock of being dead,
B
G#m
this gave me mixed feelings
What about injustice,
C#m
and people like Hitler?
G#m
C#m
The whole thing was off the Richter,
G#m
And who was on this council,
C#m
G#m
and how many were on it?
F#
B
Amina led me to a big set of double doors
G#m
I didn't know what to expect
C#
B
G#m
Was I in trouble or would it be alright?
C#m
G#m
Would I get a pass
C#
if they judged me as whack?
B
G#m
Then would I get it bad with
one switch motion?
C#m
B
She pushes the double doors open
C#m
B
I real ized that she wasn't joking
G#m
F#
It was a smorgasbord,
C#
B
a buffet of MCs
G#m
F#
A courtyard full, some friends,
G#m
Some of them were dope,
F#
G#m
some of them were tired
A lot of cats were whack
C#m
B
while some of them spit fire
G#m
C#
We kept on walking till we ran
G#m
where these two cats were battling
C#m
one of them was a biter
G#m
G#sus4
C#m
amina said this is how we kill
B
G#m
time waiting for judgment
C#m
G#m
we be still kicking rhyme
but this kid's a biter
C#m
i've heard him kick it before
B
G#m
i've even heard him spit
F#
C#m
somebody else's lyrics
G#m
before let's move on
F#
C#
we started walking this time
B
G#m
towards the building but not before
i heard a bunch of oohs
B
G#m
F#
i guess that kid got the biz
C#m
B
with the quickness
G#m
because we all love rhyming
F#
B
we all love spitting
G#m
we made it to some steps
C#
B
of what looked like a courthouse
G#m
F#
amina now when we get
C#
Then watch what comes out
G#m
show the judges respect,
C#m
speak only when spoken to,
G#m
C#m
an d if they ever ask you to spit
you better be open to.
G#m
C#m
I swallowed hard, I wasn't prepared,
B
G#m
I still didn't know what was going on
C#m
B
or who would be there.
G#m
Amina looked me over,
C#m
G#m
started straightening my gear,
G#sus4
got up real close to me
C#
G#m
and whispered in my ear.
It's gonna be okay,
F#
C#
you're gonna do just fine,
B
G#m
F#
I got your back baby boy
C#m
you're gonna be alright.
B
G#m
I realize that I've heard this before,
C#m
B
this was Candace,
G#m
C#m
B
my girlfriend who died when the Compton effect hit the planet.
G#m
F#
Do I tell her I know who she is
F#
Until the council already
C#
has its decision made,
C#m
She saw the look on my face,
G#m
the look I was willing to take
C#m
What they put on my plate,
G#m
we up in the courthouse,
B
G#m
Almost 20 minutes till
F#
B
the bailiff came and got me
G#m
We walked in the courtroom,
C#m
and I saw the gavel
The judge seat and the arrangements
was laid out in a 6x4 panel
G#m
C#m
That's 24 seats for 24 heirs,
G#m
C#m
24 hip -hop gods, oh sit there
G#m
C#m
All rise, we all rose,
G#m
C#
the judges trickled in in all black long robes
G#m
I kinda froze, these were the gods
C#m
of hip -hop about to judge me
And call in question if I served
hip -hop honorably
C#
Amina stands and says,
your honors, by your leave
G#m
C#m
I request that my client be judged a dope
G#m
MC Pac looked up at me
C#m
from behind his glasses,
G#m
C#m
he started slowly shaking his head
as he read my jacket
G#m
C#m
KRS brought his face in a light,
G#m
Rod Kim to his right,
he asked Ms. Kaplan,
F#
B
am I reading this right?
G#m
G#sus4
This is the institution hip -hop
G#m
And clearly your client
C#m
G#m
hasn't writ ten enough bars
C#m
G#m
I can see the other judges unconvinced
But I sat there quietly
G#sus4
G#m
while Amina made my defense
Your honors, with all due respect,
C#m
what about quality?
B
G#m
What about his depth
F#
and lyrical complexity?
G#m
Snoop nodded his head
C#m
and sparked up a blunt
B
G#m
Took a couple of tokes
C#m
then passed it to Dr. Dre
G#m
Who was just taking notes
C#m
This wasn't going so well
G#m
C#m
So I decided to stand up
and speak for myself
G#m
C#
Your honors, I can see
C#m
that you don't think that I'm great
G#m
But I can also tell you aren't
C#m
fully convinced that I'm fake
G#m
D#m
C#m
If I may offer a solu tion, send me back
G#m
Let me earn my ascension
C#
Prove to the council I ain't whack
G#m
The council members erupt
C#m
in a whisper frenzy
G#m
Some shaking their heads,
C#m
some of them agreeing with me
G#m
There was a call to order,
C#m
then a cascading silence
G#m
C#
One judge said we'll take a short recess
C#m
until we've decided
G#m
So we back in the lobby,
C#m
the minutes felt like hours
G#m
But I had Candace back,
C#m
I just wanted to be around her
C#m
Would they judge me as whack
G#m
Or grant me my ascension?
C#m
Or would they just send me back?
G#m
And I don't know if what the
C#
council will decide is final
G#m
But this might be the last time
C#m
I'll be in front of this panel
B
G#m
I'm ready, here we go,
C#m
my woman at my side
B
G#m
With 24 hip -hop legends
C#m
B
about to decide my afterlife
G#m
C#m
Mr. Square, after careful review
G#m
Of the complete body of work
C#m
and your character too
G#m
It's the opin ion of the court
C#
that you're not ready for responsion
But we have no record
C#m
of you being whack or pretending
G#m
So after much deliberation,
C#
C#m
we're sending you back
Give you a chance
C#m
to solidify your position at RAP
G#m
He said, don't be so quick to thank us,
C#
cause we'll be watching
C#m
G#m
And we'll hold you accountable
C#m
if you get out of pocket
G#m
F#
We'll see you when we see you waiting
C#
B
