Vapors Chords by Biz Markie

radio TV [D] and even the press.
And what's the meaning of V-A-P-O-R-S?
The meaning of this word without no doubt
[G] means nobody wanna be that when you're down and out.
Now when you're established [D] and got a lot of money,
everybody wanna be your buddy and honey.
[G] Like tall [D] builders that call [Gm] skyscrapers
skr-skr-skr-skr-skr-skr-skr-skr-skr.
And you're feeling nothing can save you,
but this is the season of catching the vapors.
And since I got time, what I'm gonna do
is tell you how they spread it throughout my crew.
Boy, you all know [D] Teejay Swann, who sang on my records.
[G] Make the music know, body beats to this, well check it.
Back in the days [D] before this began,
[G] he used to try to talk to this girl named Fran.
This type of female will fly Gucci with,
with big drug jewelry and extensions in the hair.
When Swann tried to kick [D] it,
Zoom went fast [B] talking about,
baby please you work for UPS.
Since he [G] wasn't no type of big drug dealer,
my man Teejay Swann [D] didn't appeal to her.
But now he's dressed all in fly ballet boots,
[G] gloves leather fashion and tough snow suits.
Now she stopped frontin' and wants to speak.
And they coming to all the shows every single weekend.

I got another partner that's calm and plain.
[G] He don't bother me with the big daddy canes.
Jamello type of fellow that's laid back.
Back in the days he was nothing like that.
I remember when he used to fight every day.
What the grown ups would tell him, he would never open.
He wore his pants hanging down [D] and his sneakers inside.
[Gm] And a Raja type angle, tilted to the side.
Around his neighborhood, people treated him bad.
He said he was the worst thing his mom's ever had.
She said he would grow up to be nothing but a hoola.
Or even in jail, or someone would shoot him.
But now he's grown up [Dm] to be a surprise big daddy.
Got a record seller worldwide.
[Gm] Now the same people [Bb] get to like him at the job [G] thing.
And I bought a dollar.
Ooh, you're a star now.
They caught the vapor.
[Gm] _ _ [Dm] _ _ [G] _ They [Gm] caught the vapor.

Now I got a cousin by the name of Ron Lee.
[D] Better known to y'all as Kamasa Coovee.
[G] He cut scratch plans [D] for him with a knife.
[G] _ And all that mess.
I remember when he [D] first started to rock
and [G] try to get this job [D] at a record shop.
[G] He was in it to win it.
But the boss wanted to, sorry Mr.
Lee,
but this don't help on it.
Now my cousin Ron [D] still try on [G] and on and on
through the [D] like break of dawn.
[G] To get this jail beat in the back.
Then they look right past him and be like,

Now for the year of the A to A,
Coovee is making dollars so my cousin's life straight.
He walked into the same record shop I was before.
And the boss be like, Ron, welcome to my store.
Offering [D] him a dollar.
But now he don't want it.
Damn it feels good to see people up on it.
Cause I remember when at first [G] they wasn't.

Last subject [D] of the story is about this Mark.
I [G] had to work for mine to put the body in park.
When I was a [D] teenager,
I wanted to be down [G] with a lot of MTG gang crews.
So I was growing up with street.
I [D] said, can I be down?
They said no one's treating me like a wet food stain.
After getting rejected, I was very depressed.
