verse 1: Danny Brown
A A7M
Back back way back I used to front like I was Don Juan
F#m E
Couldn't settle down, couldn't find a girl to hold on
D A
Used to get my roll on, hit the spots and stroll on
D E
Now I found one with a hand I like to hold on
A A7M
Every time I'm with her, dudes always wanna stare
F#m E
I be staring back like, "you don't wanna go there."
D A
Used to didn't care, now I hit you with a chair
D E
If it just so happen, touch a string on her hair
A A7M
Now me and shorty wop spending more and more time
F#m E
So since she got my heart then I gotta have her spine
D A
And if any dude try to come for what's mine? -
D E
A pair of size 9's where the sun don't shine
A A7M
The sugar in my Kool-Aid - boo gets me through days
F#m E
Swear to God, one day I might watch her throw a bouquet
D A
Said, "Nowhere on this earth. Nowhere in this world
D E
I should ever ever ever see you stepping to my girl."
verse 2: Heems
A A7M
That's my old girl, my old girl from college
F#m E
I always think about her when the leaves turn orange
D A
Yeah, we went to Wesleyan and she scoffed at Vassar
D E
I met her at a wine and cheese, I looked right past her
A A7M
Apparently, she would notify me right after
F#m E
I smashed her the first night, The first pipe's the worst pipe
D A
But after I satisfied thirst like "Mmm",
D E
The pastor would satisfy the church like
A A7M
She lived in WestCo and studied frescoes
F#m E
And head to toes, she stayed in the best clothes
D A
I represent Queens, she would move out to Brooklyn
D E
Never thought that she would have her precious heart took-en
A A7M
By a shy, brown guy from Bellerose
F#m E
That stayed in shell-toes, until Hell froze
D A
Her freckles dance on her porcelain skin
D E
It's like, she's got a special force within
A A7M
And I been high, but ain't no higher place
F#m E
Than alongside her by the fireplace
DA
verse 3: Despot
A A7M
Act like you ain't even seen me standing next to her
F#m E
I'll tie your kicks together if you ever try to step to her
D A
Must be why you trippin' when I ask you, "Why you stressin' her?"
D E
Passing notes and texting her, I'm 'bout to shoot the messenger
A A7M
Used to smash, slap 'em on the ass and go away
F#m E
They ask when Imma call 'em and I hit 'em with a poker face
D A
Coldest shoulder known to blow a load then leave 'em froze and skate
D E
Magnum wrapper in the trash, I told them, "Nothing gold can stay."
A A7M
Who's she? Guess I turned over a new leaf
D A
Lose sleep, lately only counting on these two sheep
D E
You and me, baby, skipping town up on these coupe seats
A A7M
Must've broke the mold when they made you
F#m E
Probably broke a nail or two flippin' off these lame dudes
D A
Hollerin' in plain view, on some, "what's your name, boo?"
D E
Barely had a dollar and a dream, but it came true
Hook: Ezra Koenig
A A7M F#m
The gloves are off, the wisdom teeth are out
E
What you on about?
D A D E
I feel it in my bones, I feel it in my bones
A A7M F#m
I'm stronger now, I'm ready for the house
E
Such a modest mouse,
D A D E
I can't do it alone, I can't do it alone
A A7M F#m E
Every time I see you in the world, you always step to my girl
