[Verse 1]
N.C.
 People tell me that I brag a lot 'cause I call myself the Masterman
N.C.
 Always talkin' 'bout how I got dynamite in every hand, hit it
N.C.
Me and my brother we live alone, got no television, got no telephone
            N.C.
But when we walk down the street people get out of the way
          C5
They say "Here come the Masterman and Baby J"
 F7sus4
"Here come the Masterman and Baby J", hit it

[Interlude]
| N.C. | % | % | % |
Hit it

[Verse 2]
        N.C.
When we get on the mike, we'll be number one, even top D.M.C. and Run
N.C.
Everybody's gonna have some fun, ‘cause we're takin' 'em all the way down
      N.C.
We're takin' 'em all the way down
      N.C.
Gonna rap about this, gonna rap about that
      N.C.
Gonna tell everybody where it's at
    N.C.
All over the world people gonna say
           C5
You got to dig the Masterman and Baby J
           F7sus4
You got to dig the Masterman and Baby J, hit it

[Verse 3]
N.C.
People tell me "Man you live in a dump"
           N.C.
"You won't never be nothin' but a pumped-up chump"
    N.C.
You got no money, you got no sense
          N.C.
You won't never be nothing, you won't never be nothing
      G5
I say well-well-well-well

[Verse 4]
       N.C.
When I look out my window, you know what I see
        N.C.
I don't see no whores in the stinkin' street
        N.C.
I don't see no drunks and junkies dying
        N.C.
I don't see no bums or garbage flyin'

[Middle 8]
| Cm Cm(maj7) | Cm7 Cm6 |
I see me and J in the L.A. Coliseum, puttin’ 100,000 people on their feet
| Cm Cm(maj7) | Cm7 Cm6 |
And they're laughin' and bumpin' and screamin' and cryin' and jumpin' up on their seat
| Cm7 | Cm |
And then the band begins to play and then they hush up
| Cm7 | Cm |
And then the band begins to play and then they hush up
| Cm | % |
And it gets real quiet in the Coliseum with the stage all dark and bare
| Cm | % |
Maybe a little rain begins to fall, yeah, but the people stayin' right there
Cm
Then you can hear that announcer say
       G5
Please welcome! (the crowd roars)
       G#5
Please welcome! (the crowd roars)
E5              F5
L.A.'s own, the number one
| E5 F5 F#5 G5 G#5 A5 |
The biggest, the best, the number one band in the USA

[Outro]
    C5
The Masterman and Baby J!
    N.C.
The Masterman and Baby J!
    N.C.
The Masterman ...
