You see it started way back in NYC

When I stole my first rhyme from the M.I.C.

At a west end avenue at sixty-three 
         Fmaj7                     Bb5   F/A   G
It’s the beginning of a leap year, February, '96

Up the coast I brag and I boast

      C6sus2
Got a natural ability
Fmaj7
Give the freestyle, look at my flexibility 
G
Dangerous on the mike 
          C6sus2
My ghetto hat's cocked right 
        Fmaj7
All the ladies say, "yo, that kid is crazy" 
           G                        C6sus2
We got the backstage betties taking more than they can get 
     Fmaj7
They say, "what's up with m-are-a-z?”
