Amazin' flavor
[Verse 1]
F#m D
The way I feel, sometimes it's too hard to sit still
F#m D
Things are so passionate, times are so real
Bm C#m
Sometimes I try and chill, mellow down, blowin' smoke
F#m
Smile on my face but it's really no joke
F#m D
You feel it in the street, the people breathe without hope
F#m D
They goin' through the motion, they dimmin' down the focus
Bm C#m
The focus get cleared then the light turn sharp
F#m
And the eyes go teary, the mind grow weary
F#m D
I speak it so clearly sometimes y'all don't hear me
F#m D
I push it past the bass, know nations gotta feel me
Bm C#m
I feel it in my bones, black I'm so wide awake
F#m
That I hardly ever sleep, my flow forever deep
F#m D
And it's volumes or scriptures when I breathe on a beat
F#m D
My presence speak volumes before I say a word
Bm C#m
I'm everywhere: penthouse, pavement and curb
F#m
Cradle to the grave, tall cathedral or a cell
F#m D
Universal ghetto life, holla black you know it well
F#m D
Quiet storm, vital form, pen pushed it right across
Bm C#m
Mind is a vital force, high level right across
F#m
Soul is the lion's roar, voice is the siren
F#m D
I swing round, ring out, and bring down the tyrant
F#m D
Shocked a small act could knock a giant lopsided
Bm C#m
The world is so dangerous, there's no need for fightin'
F#m
Suckas trying to hide like the struggle won't find 'em
F#m D
Then the sun bust through the clouds to clearly remind him
F#m D
Everywhere penthouse pavement and curb
Bm C#m
Cradle to the grave, tall cathedral or a cell
F#m
Universal ghetto life, holla black you know it well
[Chorus]
F#m D
What it is, you know, they know
F#m D
What it is, we know, y'all know
B C#m F#m
What it is, Ecstatic, here it is
F#m D
What it is, you know, we know
F#m D

B C#m F#m
What it is, you don't know? Here it is
[Interlude]
Ecstatic! (En punto)

Peace, power Fantastic

And always on time and rockin ya mind (Ruler!)
[Verse 2]
F#m D
Sit and come relax, riddle of the mac
F#m D
It's the patch, I'm a soldier in the middle of Iraq
Bm C#m
Well, say, about noonish, comin' out the whip
F#m
And lookin at me curious, a young Iraqi kid
F#m D
Carrying laundry, "What's wrong G? Hungry?"
F#m D
"No, gimme my oil or get the fuck out my country"
Bm C#m
And in Arabian barkin' other stuff ("Jihad!")
F#m
'Til his moms come grab him and they walk off in a rush
F#m D
Distrust, feeling like I've pissed upon wounds
F#m D
I'm like, "Surely hope that we can fix our differences soon!" (Bye!)
Bm C#m
Buying apples I'm breakin' on, "You take everything
F#m
Why not just take the damn food, black bastard?"
F#m D
Like I don't understand it, on another planet
F#m D
15-months of this stuff, how I'm gonna manage?
Bm C#m
And increasing the sentiment, gentlemen
F#m
Getting down on their middle eastern instruments
F#m D
Realized trapped in this crap
F#m D
Walk over kicked one of my fabulous raps ("La-Di-Da-Di")
Bm C#m
Arab jaw drop, they well wish, they glad rap
F#m
Now the kid considered like an Elvis of Baghdad
