Can you speak your words of bedtime[00:00:19]
I was just saying to myself the other day[00:00:23]
Most of believing the magician[00:00:27]
But you're bewitching[00:00:31]
Because of this I must say[00:00:33]
I (I)[00:00:36]
I (oh I)[00:00:38]
I[00:00:40]
Appreciate what you give to me[00:00:42]
Yeah (I)[00:00:45]
I (oh I)[00:00:47]
I[00:00:49]
Appreciate what you give to me[00:00:51]
People say I got soul look at all the records I hold[00:00:53]
The lives I've affected connect and control[00:00:55]
With me in your basement your mama got blown[00:00:58]
I provide the vibe to keep the strippers on poles[00:01:00]
Through me the black experience is glorious told[00:01:03]
From a school that's old bold so I rock gold[00:01:04]
And platinum so cats I hold notes and cash for them[00:01:06]
On streets I rap for them in ghettos I blast for them[00:01:09]
Mash with them at the party and all[00:01:11]
Peep the universal language that's embodying all[00:01:13]
Put the Billie Holiday Bob Marley in y'all[00:01:16]
Y'all feel most high when I be in y'all[00:01:18]
System with the rhythm I up jump the boogie[00:01:20]
Shame I rely on record labels to push me[00:01:22]
Since the bush I been y'all way to escape[00:01:25]
Through eight-tracks wax CDs and tapes[00:01:27]
I am music[00:01:29]
You can feel me all over alive I help culture survive I opened the eyes of many[00:02:05]
Styles y'all wrote in the skies with your lows and highs open your mind to hear me[00:02:09]
In the streets I beat cops and obsolete[00:02:14]
On every station it's hot you can't stop my heat[00:02:16]
I taught J and Dre how to rock the beat[00:02:18]
On what's going on today yo I gots to speak[00:02:20]
I take the stand yo you could feel me bam[00:02:22]
Whether in Larry Graham or Steely Dan[00:02:25]
Live I be killing it man[00:02:27]
For how long I survived yo I'm realer than man[00:02:29]
Got a soft side but I'm still a man[00:02:31]
For me women cry and children dance I'm trying to eat[00:02:33]
I could'a got a mil and ran[00:02:36]
But like Sly for the fam still I stand[00:02:38]
I am music[00:02:40]
I been here since the beginning[00:03:17]
Beginning of time yo beginning of time[00:03:18]
Deep in the mind of the ancient ones[00:03:21]
Everybody love me like they do the sun[00:03:23]
I shine at times yo at times I'm dark[00:03:25]
You can't categorize me my mind's a art[00:03:27]
Inside my heart it ain't about climbing charts[00:03:29]
I'm the one you roll with when your ride is smart[00:03:31]
The change that came the change that comes[00:03:34]
I change with chords and I kick it with drums[00:03:36]
Get blow with horns and did it on the one[00:03:38]
Riffed for guitars for the Lord I sung[00:03:41]
Spun around the world at parties and weddings[00:03:43]
Wherever I go I create the setting[00:03:45]
You know me from lessons or your pops collections[00:03:47]
Whether whole or half stepping I'm a blessing[00:03:50]
Yo I am music[00:03:51]
