*NOTE* This song is strong on the bass.
This is a very simple song for the rythm
guitar; Many fills for the bass and lead guitar.
Only because of the barr chords did I mark this as
Intermediate skill of playing.
[Intro]
G# D# D
[Verse-Pos]
D
Now let's get right on down to the skit
D
A baby is brought into a world of pits
D
And if it could've talked that soon
D
In the delivery room
D
It would've asked the nurse for a hit
D
The reason for this?
D
The mother is a jerk
D
Excuse me, junkie
D
Which brought the work of the old
D
Into a new light, what a way
D
But this what a way
D
Has been a way of today
D
Anyway push couldn't shove me
D
To understand a path to a basehead
D
Consumer should erase it in the first wave
D
But second wave forms relievers
D
And believers will walk to it
D
Then even talk to it and say
D C#m
(You got my body now you want my soul)
C#m
Nah, can't have none of that
C#m
Tell 'em what to say Mase
[Chorus]
C#m C# C#m C#
(Say no go, say no go)
C#m C# C#m C#
(Say no go, say no go)
C#m C#
(Say no go, Say, say, say, say)
[Verse-Dove]
C#
Nah, no my brother
C#
No my sister
C#
Try to get hip to this
C#
Word, word to the mother
C#
I'll tell the truth
C#
So bear my witness
C#
Fly like birds of a feather
C#
Drugs are like pleather
C#
You don't wanna wear it
C#
No need to ask that question
C#
Just don't mention
C#
You know what the answer is
[Verse-Pos]
C
Now I never fancied Nancy
C
But the statement she made
C
Held a plate of weight
C
I even stressed it to Wade
[Verse-Dove]
C
Did he take any heed?
[Verse-Pos]
C
Nah, the boy was hooked
C
You coulda phrased the word "base"
C
And the kid just shook
C
In his fashion class once an A now an F
C
The rock rules him now
C
The only designs left
C
Were once clothes made for Osh-Kosh
C
Has converted to nothing but stonewash
[Verse-Dove]
C
Now hopping in a barrel is a barrel of fun
C
But don't hop in if you wanna be down, son
C
'Cause that could mean
C
Down and out as an action
C
What does that lead to?
C
Dum da dum dum
C
People say what have I done for all my years
C
My tears show my hard earned work
C
I heard shoving is worse than pushing
C
But I'd rather know a shover than a pusher
C
'Cause a pusher's a jerk
[Chorus]
C#m C# C#m C#
(Say no go, say no go)
C#m C#
(Say no go, Say, say, say, say)
C#m C#
(Say no go, Say, say, say, say)
[Verse-Pos]
C#
Believe it or not
C#
The plots forms a fee
C#
More than charity
C#
But the course doesn't coincide
C#
With the ride of insanity
C#
Is it a chant that slants
C#
The soul to fill for it?
C#
I know it's the border
C#
That flaunts the order
C#
To kill for it
[Verse-Dove]
C#
Standing, scheming on a young one
C#
Taking his time
C#
8 ball for a cool pool player
C#
Racked it all
C#
Tried to break, miscued
C#
Got beat by the boy in blue
C#
Next day you're out
C#
By the spot once more
C#
Looking hard for a crack in the hole
C#
I ask what's the fix for the ill stuff
C#
Word to the Dero
C#
The answer shoulda been no
[Verse-Pos]
C#
Run me a score from the funky four plus one more
A#
(It's the joint!)
A#
Rewind that back
A#
This is the age for a new stage of fiend
A#
Watch how the junkies scream
A#
For their crack
A#
"It's the crack"t should explain it from the start
A#
Behind the ideals of cranking up the heart
A#
Now the Base claims shot over every part
[Outro]
