Chords for Kurious - Benetton ft MC Serch & MF DOOM :: Amalgam Digital

[Bb] _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Dm] _ _ Long time coming, [Bb] huh, Jordan?
_ [Gm] _ [F] I got you.
Hip-hop [C] to the death. _
[Cm] _ [Eb] Let me tell my story.
[D] I'm the blood from the stone, and that stone is far rock.
[Bb] Home is off Virginia, near Cornega and Mott.
[G] We'd rock kicks [Am] from Snickers, Steves, white tees with creak sleeves.
[D] To make dough, we shovel snow.
[Dm] In the fall, we'd rake leaves.
[D] Then my pen took its path, and I began writing my raps.
[Bb] I was kicking it with females in biker shorts and gold caps.
[G] Named [Am] Ebony and Mahogany.
Bring them home to me and my [D] family.
And when their heads around the waist saw me, they started talking.
Talking all reckless, trying to knock my success.
[Bb] Better to climb them stairs instead of project steps.
[G] See, my people [Am] in far rock away never seen me more than a block [D] away.
And when your crew needs you, how you gonna say no, not today?
So I got caught between the rock and a hard place, [Bb] but never last place.
And then we came up with the gas base.
[G] [Am] KMD, Zev Love X, Up Rock, R.I.P.
[D] We'd get dissed by chicks, and [Dm] that's the face they gave me.
[D] We'd drive back to Long Beach with my tank on empty.
[Bb] I'm a bank on empty.
I had a quarter for a [G] Lucy.
[Am] The new Port Iron held an exhale through my [D] nose.
Dust in the [Dm] cigarette's ass from my clothes.
Then I [D] rose, planning to never be in the same place ever again.
[Bb] Being broke was my people, but it was never my friend.
[G] But my love [Am] will never die, for I am what I supply.
[D] See, I am hip-hop music, and I use it to get by.
And this culture accepted me for the skin that was on me.
[Bb] And then came Steppin' to the AM and the Cactus CD.
[G] And it put [Am] me on the course, and you see me on today.
[D] Truth be told, I'd have it no other way.
That's why I say it's not a game.
Hey, yo, search, I appreciate you coming [Bb] through.
Good looking out, y'all used to let me get on stage [G] with you.
[Am] Pop goes the weasel, so hot that [D] I'm diesel.
Nowadays, I couldn't [Dm] paint this picture better on an [D] easel.
But back then, I didn't know what was truly the [Bb] prize.
Soon after, I'm on tour with Foodies and [G] Nines.
[C] Such a great [Am] honor, I wasn't ready.
[D] I was late, Bonner.
My whole shit paused like a straight comma.
I had to search within, take the wrong, make it [Bb] right.
Met my broken wings, so once again I take [G] flight.
[Am] Now I'm free as the wind, don't know where to [D] begin.
I gather my thoughts every time I breathe in.
Believe in self, give thanks where it's supposed [Bb] to go.
Lord knows, my beloved, I'm supposed to [G] flow.
[Am] Don't get a twist between that rap and that street [D] shit.
Stay on the humble, but never on the weak shit.
Those thinking otherwise can buckle down and eat [Bb] dick.
Get your money, buy a ticket, come see me [G] spit.
[Am] Curious George, see the name in [D] light.
Incredible how 2020 be the hindsight.
Get your rhymes right, get your minds right.
[Bb] This that big purse heavyweight pride fight.
[G] [Am] Get your life right, money gets your life [D] right.
This that big purse heavyweight pride fight.
Persistence always [C] overcomes [D] resistance, in the [Bb] words of Mr.
Magic.
Not to be confused with the magician [G] hat tricks.
[Am] Out the bag, looking with the cat [D] gun drugging.
Cousin, [Dm] if you don't know, you're bugging.
[D] About to be a mugging, my brother George is [Bb] here.
Saw this clear [Gm] as I pour beer for years.
More to [Am] share, cheers, it's good to see you back [D] boss.
Game ain't [C] changed since the crack [D] to Iraq wars.
Villain, drooling, still shares last [Bb] snack bar.
Feeding these truerins with the knack off the black [G] pawn.
[Am] Swerving double lines, rubber wine's been [D] through.
Never to beat the odds [C] when they against you [Dm] with a pencil.
[D] It's all in the mental.
Ooh, saw what he [Bb] said.
Metal face doom, open doors with his [G] forehead.
[Am] Calling hands free [D] wireless.
The burnout plan, and the fans be tireless.
Turns out, it's no bluff.
[Bb] Pumping punks, he gets the doom dunks like so [G] enough.
The bottom, [Am] pawn scum, swallow something, trigger [D] T.O.P.
Love for Harlem, [Dm] what the problem is, follow them. _ _ _
