Verse
Em
'98 when I made my first beat tape
Am
I was trippin', I was thinking I could be great
G
Four track Tascam in my brief case
B
Back when I would cop my Jordan's straight up outta Eastbay
Em
I was just 15 with some big dreams
Am
Big shoes, big heart, no big screen
G
Big talls, big balls, no fig leaves
B
Double-X-L well before I spit at 16
Em
I was trippin': I was waiting for the right time
Am
I was trippin': I was looking for the right place
G
I was trippin': I was searching for the right words
B
Took a wrong turn, now my head is in the right space
Em
I was trippin': I was taking all the wrong pills
Am
I was trippin': I was righting all the wrong wrongs
G
I was trippin': I was writing all the right songs
B
Looking for a miracle? You're fucking with the right one
[Chorus]
Em Am
I've seen some souls be friendly, I've seen some feet get loose
G B
I've had some people in my life who know just what it do
Em Am G B
I try to look for goodness even when I see bad
[Verse 2]
Em
I guess it started with a big bang, like a gun shot
Am
When the fall came, and we all stop
G
Never school for the fools when the sun drops
B
We were having mad fun running from the young cops
Em
I was on that low brow, thinking too much
Am
Cynicism hit me early like the cold crush
G
Did the knowledge until college then I froze up
B
Realize I ain't even working on my post up
Em
Had a good shot though, with a big chip
Am
But my shoulders were beholden to that dope shit
G
I was thinking 'bout rhymes, I was dreaming 'bout beats
B
I was biding my time, I was sowing these seeds
Em
I was - too cold to know that I ain't old enough
Am
Too grown to know that I ain't growing up
G
Two Tones was home so just throw it up
B
Black Paisley is back so just pour it up
[Chorus]
Em Am
I've seen some souls be friendly, I've seen some feet get loose
G B
I've had some people in my life who know just what it do
Em Am G B
I try to look for goodness even when I see bad
[Verse 3]
Em
I am that Two Tone Rebel, Paisley stain
Am
I got some skin so thick I was made for pain
G
Never change my name, just check my veins
B
All the Wallace brave hearts, I'm the next to reign
Em
I'm E-Dubble, powers combine when we troubled
Am
I still lose grip and shit I still fumble
G
Always get it back even when I'm off track
B
Cause I'm never off beat and I'm never on whack
Em
God damn, how the fuck they let me get in
Am
I just showed up with a couple records looking to spin and
G
Lookin' to win, my cup been filled with a gin
B
I got the juice now too, still sick with a pen
Em
And sick with the keys, and sick with my PC
Am
My beats be off the meat rack fo' sheezy
G
You see he - love the early arts, you can't see me
B
Two Tone Rebel entrusts you still need me
[Chorus]
Em Am
I've seen some souls be friendly, I've seen some feet get loose
G B
I've had some people in my life who know just what it do
Em Am G B
I try to look for goodness even when I see bad
Em Am
I've seen some souls be friendly, I've seen some feet get loose
G B
I've had some people in my life who know just what it do
Em Am G B
I try to look for goodness even when I see bad
