          Em                            C
'81 was the year shit hit the fan in a major way

    G                       D
a sad day for inspiring artists

         Em                     C
Almost 20 years after the fact I'm still on my hustle

    G                             D
Diggin' graves for an inspiring artist
Pushing daises up
          Em                     C
And never compromise the arts and make a crowd clap

     G                       D
Shit on since the first show

      Em                            C
But we turned feces to fertilizer

                 G                        D
So when you diss it's just food for the flowers to grow

       Em             C
Sold 15 plus out of backpacks, no trunks

  G                D
Too young to drive
But live hip hop
      Em                     C                      G                D
And the kids are upstate kids that thought rap was past tense, hence the last name

      Em                           C                   G        
Got name for playing basements and such and making songs that our friends 

  D
loved

     Em                              C        
And when the fish bowl got too small to hold the goldfish

   G                            D
We filled our gills with water and ripped that mother fucker like

           Bm7
So take a step back
And a breath in
        Em9
Let it out now
Put your chin up
          Bm7
You can do it tiger
You a man now
    Em9                                         A
And in your dream it's time to do the best you can now

            Em7
We bring ourselves down

         Bm7 /F#
And build ourselves up in disappointment

              Am7 
How fragile we are

              Am7 
So fragile we are, we just don't show it

             Em7
We'll shake up this town

          Bm7 / F#
And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment

            Am7
So sexy we are

            Am7
So sexy we are, we just don't know it
Em7 Bm7 /F# Am7
  Em                             C
This is what you wanted right?

                               G                          D
How many nights were spent pouring out your guts dummy?

                        Em                               C
How many punishments endured for fucking up in school?

                           G                               D
How many teachers proved wrong by writing songs instead?
My point exactly
          Em                           C
But you knew you had a spark, did you?

                             G                               D
Something producin' to the dreams your pop's dreams lent you

                      Em                        C
Stay focused when nothing seemed to make sense

                           G                       D
Stealing verses with that Cassius Clay confidence

                Em                               C
Sometimes you stubborn as shit, that's the McCoy in you

                   G                       D
You learn to be a man without losing the boy in you
Just do your thing man
          Bm7
So take a step back
And a breath in
        Em9
Let it out now
Put your chin up
         Bm7
You can do it tiger
You a man now
       Em9                                      A
And in your dream it's time to do the best you can now

           Bm7
So take a step back
And a breath in
       Em9
Let it out now
Put your chin up
          Bm7
You can do it tiger
You a man now
      Em9                                       A
And in your dream it's time to do the best you can now

            Em7
We bring ourselves down

         Bm7 /F#
And build ourselves up in disappointment

              Am7 
How fragile we are

              Am7 
So fragile we are, we just don't show it

             Em7
We'll shake up this town

          Bm7 / F#
And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment

            Am7
So sexy we are

            Am7
So sexy we are, we just don't know it
*****Travis repeats chorus again*
            Em7
We break ourselves down

         Bm7 /F#
And build ourselves up in disappointment

              Am7 
How fragile we are

              Am7 
So fragile we are, we just don't show it

           Em7
We shake up this town

          Bm7 / F#
