 EmC
'81 was the year shit hit the fan in a major way
 GD
a sad day for inspiring artists
 EmC
Almost 20 years after the fact I'm still on my hustle
 GD
Diggin' graves for an inspiring artist
Pushing daises up
 EmC
And never compromise the arts and make a crowd clap
 GD
Shit on since the first show  
 EmC
But we turned feces to fertilizer    
 GD
So when you diss it's just food for the flowers to grow
 EmC
Sold 15 plus out of backpacks, no trunks
 GD
Too young to drive  
But live hip hop
 EmCGD
And the kids are upstate kids that thought rap was past tense, hence the last name
 EmCG
Got name for playing basements and such and making songs that our friends
 D
loved
 EmC
And when the fish bowl got too small to hold the goldfish
 GD
We filled our gills with water and ripped that mother fucker like
 Bm7
So take a step back
And a breath in
 Em9
Let it out now
Put your chin up
 Bm7
You can do it tiger
You a man now
 Em9A
And in your dream it's time to do the best you can now

 Em7
We bring ourselves down
 Bm7/F#
And build ourselves up in disappointment
 Am7
How fragile we are
 Am7
So fragile we are, we just don't show it
 Em7
We'll shake up this town
 Bm7F#
And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment
 Am7
So sexy we are
 Am7
So sexy we are, we just don't know it

 Em7Bm7/F#Am7

 EmC
This is what you wanted right?    
 GD
How many nights were spent pouring out your guts dummy?    
 EmC
How many punishments endured for fucking up in school?    
 GD
How many teachers proved wrong by writing songs instead?    
My point exactly
 EmC
But you knew you had a spark, did you?  
 GD
Something producin' to the dreams your pop's dreams lent you  
 EmC
Stay focused when nothing seemed to make sense   
 GD
Stealing verses with that Cassius Clay confidence   
 EmC
Sometimes you stubborn as shit, that's the McCoy in you
 GD
You learn to be a man without losing the boy in you
Just do your thing man

 Bm7
So take a step back
And a breath in
 Em9
Let it out now
Put your chin up
 Bm7
You can do it tiger
You a man now
 Em9A
And in your dream it's time to do the best you can now

 Bm7
So take a step back
And a breath in
 Em9
Let it out now
Put your chin up
 Bm7
You can do it tiger
You a man now
 Em9A
And in your dream it's time to do the best you can now

 Em7
We bring ourselves down
 Bm7/F#
And build ourselves up in disappointment
 Am7
How fragile we are
 Am7
So fragile we are, we just don't show it
 Em7
We'll shake up this town
 Bm7F#
And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment
 Am7
So sexy we are
 Am7
So sexy we are, we just don't know it

*****Travis repeats chorus again*

 Em7
We break ourselves down
 Bm7/F#
And build ourselves up in disappointment
 Am7
How fragile we are
 Am7
So fragile we are, we just don't show it
 Em7
We shake up this town
 Bm7F#
And shoot down the stars for our enjoyment
 Am7
So sexy we are
 Am7
So sexy we are, we just don't know it

 Em7Bm7/F#Am7

 Bm7
So take a step back
And a breath in
 Em9
Let it out now
Put your chin up
 Bm7
You can do it tiger
You a man now
 Em9A
And in your dream it's time to do the best you can now
