Verse 1
York
by way of my old earth.
B
F#
My father came over here from Haiti
F#
B
F#
My father did not teach me his language.
B
I barely knew him as my father.
F#
He is like the devil
B
in that he gave me nothing.
F#
Why is he like the devil?
Because he avoided me
B
since I was a little boy.
Why do you not seek him out now,
F#
but to a grown man?
B
Because my mother gave me
F#
B
food for thought and belly.
F#
Does this have anything to do
B
with the above question?
I didn't need him to acquire
F#
the knowledge of myself.
B
F#
B
What is the knowledge of yourself?
F#
My own self is a righteous God
B
Are there any gods other than righteous?
I beg your pardon,
F#
I've never heard of one
B
F#
Now drawing up that de gree ain't hard
B
Cause if you ain't righteous,
F#
how you supposed to be God?
Another question you might have,
How does God on his album cover
lookin' knocked out?
F#
For me it's simple and plain,
It's symbolic to the fact
F#
that I've been through some things
I wasn't trippin' or takin'
B
no ass whippin' literally
I'm just tryin' to show you my pain
F#
Cause life imitates art
B
like before I even had kids
F#
B
Naming my first album the best part
F#
B
The life of this artist is drawn kinda dark
F#
The darkness accentuates the light spark
B
To reveal this room full of powder cans
F#
That explodes into all of these sands
So visually, that was me
Musically,
F#
this is me getting up off the ground
B
I used this assaultin' battery to energize
F#
And set sail on a whole
nother enterprise
B
Boldly go where MCs are scared to
F#
B
Man up in ways boys ain't prepared to
F#
B
Take life's hardest hits on the chin
F#
Wipe the blood off my cheek
and begin again
So why these rappers
B
fantasize and pretend
This is show you art
F#
imitates life now and then
B
How many records have
F#
you released as JY?
A little over 5
How many records have you sold
B
combined since your first
album?
F#
Approximately 100 ,000
B
Do you mean to say that the millions
F#
of people who love hip -hop
aren't aware of your music?
F#
I can hardly believe that unless they were blind,
deaf, and dumb.
Well, they were made blind, deaf, and dumb
by popular culture
since they were babies.
And a label fooled Jay Live?
No, not nowadays.
B
F#
Do you mean to say the labels were
fooling Jay Live for 10 years?
B
F#
Yes. The labels made an
interpretation
B
that I received gold for my labor,
F#
more than I could earn
F#
B
Then, did you receive gold?
F#
B
F#
No, no, no, no, no.
B
The labels disappeared.
F#
And there was no one there
B
to speak my language.
Then, then, then, then what happened?
F#
B
F#
