G

Verse 1:
G
Hear me out, it ain't easy but I'll try to explain, everything in the world gets labeled a name
G
A box, a rough definition, unaffordable, who picked the label doesn't want to be responsible
G
Truth, you're the one who needs the keys to the prison, you create your own box, you don't have to listen
G                                                 D G D G D G D G
To any of the label makers, printing your obituary..................here's an example:
G
If Joe Blow says "Yo you think like Aviaggio" you'll respond "No that's an insult Joe"
G
"I live in a vacuum, I ain't copyin' no one!".....listen up, son

Verse 2:
G
Everyone creating is a member of the family, passing down genes and ideas in harmony
G
The players and the cynics will be thinking it's hard, but if you rewind the tape, we're all copying god
G                         F
Copying god, copying god, copying god, copying god, add your own pace, but the puzzle is god's......

Paying interest on the bills, I'm late but I just can't seem to remember the dates
G7                                F7
I lay low and turn off the lamps, come on over, you can lick the stamps and
G7                                    F7
We could put together a portfolio and sing hallelujah in stereo
G7                                            F7
If we find a baby, let her into the hall, but keep the car running on motor to go
G7                                          F7
We got fever and there ain't no cure, girl, take out insurance if you ain't too sure, girl
G7
We do things that lovers do, well never have to ever hear the rings of school bells
C7                                     G7
Plad jeans, no cellular phone, all the time in the world, no twilight zone

My time is mine and they know they can't get, JB told me you got to hit it and quit it....
G7                                                C7
I'm never gonna go where you want me to go, cause I got feelings that you just don't know and you can
G7                                C7                                      G7  C7  G7  C7

G7                                            C7
The name of the tune is Cool Hand Luke, cause I got stripes on my pants and boots
G7                                        C7
In prison you can learn a lesson from the hand alone to the hotbox session, listen....
