Like Magellan we was over by my man catchin' paper

You know they always like a story down on flatbush ave
  B
I remembered when I listened and we stole what we had
       Em                   G
And if America's a tit then New York is the nipple
   B
So suck on this and you may learn a little
         Em                             G
See, the golden rule's for fools or for men who are righteous
   B
So play the cards you're dealt and maybe you might just
Em                  G
Slide on by with no damage to your pride
    B
Let ignorance be your guide
