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#
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
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
Chorus
