[Em] [D] [Dsus4] [Bm]
 
Verse
 
[Em]Return of the Mack, get up!
What it [D]is, [Dsus4]what it does, what it is, what it isn’t.
Looking for a [Bm]better way to get up out of bed
Instead of getting on the [C]Internet and checking a new hit me
[Em]Get up! Fresh out pimp strut walking,
[D]little [Dsus4]bit of humble, little bit of cautious
[Bm]Somewhere between like rocky and Cosby [C]sweatergang nope nope y’all can’t copy
[Em]Yup. Bad, moonwalking, [D]this [Dsus4]here, is our party, [Bm]
my posse's been on Broadway,[C]And we did it, our way.
[Em]Grown music, I shed my [D]skin [Dsus4]and put my bones into [Bm]everything I record to it
[C]And yet I’m on.
[Em]Let that stage light go and [D] [Dsus4]shine on down, got
that [Bm]Bob Barker suit game and [C]plinko in my style.
[Em]Money, stay on my craft and stick [D] [Dsus4]around for those pounds,
But I [Bm]do that to pass the torch and put [C]on for my town
[Em]Trust me. On my [D] [Dsus4]I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T shit [Bm]hustler,
Chasing dreams since [C]I was 14 with the [Em]four
track bussing [D] [Dsus4]halfway cross that city with
the [Bm]backpack, fat cat, [C]crushing
 
[Em]Labels out here,
Nah they can’t tell me [D] [Dsus4]nothing
We give that to the [Bm]people,
Spread it across the [C]country
[Em]Labels out here,
Nah they can’t tell me nothing
We give it to the people,
Spread it across the country
 
Chorus
[Em]Here we go back, this is the [D] [Dsus4]moment
Tonight is the [Bm]night, we’ll fight till it’s [C]over
So we put our hands [Em]up like the ceiling can’t [D] [Dsus4]hold us
[Bm]Like the ceiling can’t [C]hold us
 
Verse(Same Chords)
[Em]Nah, can I kick it? thank [D]you. [Dsus4]yeah I'm so damn grateful.
[D]I grew up, really wanted gold fronts
[Em]But that’s what you get when Wu tang raised you
[Em]Y’all can’t stop me, go hard [D] [Dsus4]like I got an 808 in my heart beat
N.C.
And I’m eating at the beat like you gave a
little speed to a great white shark on shark week
[Em]Raw. Tell me go up. Gone!
[G]Deuces goodbye. [D]I got a world to see, and my girl she [Em]wanna see Rome,
Em G [Em]Caesar[G] make you a believer. nah I never ever did it for a throne.
[D]That[Em] validation comes from giving it back to
the people. nah sing a song and it goes like
[Em]Raise those hands, this is [D]our [Dsus4]party
[D]We came here to live life like nobody [Em]was watching
[Em]I got my city right behind [D] [Dsus4]me
[D]If I fall, they got me. Learn from that [Em]failure
gain humility and then we keep marching ourselves
 
Chorus
[Em]Here we go back, this is the [D] [Dsus4]moment
Tonight is the [Bm]night, we’ll fight till it’s [C]over
So we put our hands [Em]up like the ceiling can’t [D]hold [Dsus4]us
[Bm]Like the ceiling can’t [C]hold us
 
Bgm
[Em] [G] [D] [Em]
 
[Em]Na na na na na na na na
And all my people say
Ma-ckle-more
 
Chorus
[Em]Here we go back, this is the [D] [Dsus4]moment
Tonight is the [Bm]night, we’ll fight till it’s [C]over
So we put our hands [Em]up like the ceiling can’t [D]hold [Dsus4]us
[Bm]Like the ceiling can’t [C]hold us
