(haha)
E5                       
I never knew that a kid like me 
               G5                                     A5
Could take his mic around the world and flash the big S.D. 
             E5      
And rock the masses, from Madrid to Calabassas 
G5                    A5
Tijuana, Mexico, bootleg demos in Tokyo 
              E5
They know me though, 'cause I be puttin' in work 
             G5                            A5
Commit my life to rebirth, well respected, 'cause that's my word 
             E5
I'm sure you heard (heard), about a new sound going around 
      G5                                  A5
She might have left my hood, but she was born in my town 
E5                        
You didn't know, thought we was new on the scene 
         G5             A5
Well, it's alright! It's alright! 
E5                     
I know you know, I see you smiling at me 
           G5             A5
Well, it's alright! It's alright! 
E5                    E5
Boom! Here comes the Boom!
            G5                 A5 
Ready or not, here comes the boys from the South 
E5                      E5
Boom! Here comes the Boom!
           G5                  A5 
Ready or not, How you like me now?

same pattern for next verse/ pre-chorus and chorus

I said
We rep. the South, so what you talking about 
I'm not running off my mouth, I know this without a doubt 
'Cause if you know these streets, then these streets know you 
When it's time to handle business, then you know what to do (what to do)
Me and my crew, we stay true, old skool or new 
Many were called, but the chosen are few (were a few)
We rise to the top, what you want? Just in case you forgot 
Rush the stage, grab my mic, show me what you got 

You didn't know, thought we was new on the scene 
Well, it's alright! It's alright! 
I know you know, I see you smiling at me 
Well, it's alright! It's alright! 

Boom! Here comes the Boom! 
Ready or not, here comes the boys from the South 
Boom! Here comes the Boom! 
Ready or not, How you like me now?

I said
