G                     D
Alright, already the show goes on
     Em                          D
All night, till the morning we dream so long
   C                        D
Anybody ever wonder, when they would see the sun go
        C  
Just remember when you come up
      D
The show goes on!
   G                   D

The show goes on!


Verse 1
          G                         D
Have you ever had the feeling that you was being had
             Em
Don’t that sh-t make you mad
       D                            C
They treat you like a slave, with chains all on your soul,
          D
And put whips up on your back,
          C
They be lying through they teeth
          D
Hope you slip up off your path
          G
I don’t switch up I just laugh
        D
Put my kicks up on they desk
       Em                            D
Unaffected by they threats than get busy on they ass
            C
See that’s how that Chi-Town made me
        D
That’s how my daddy raised me
        C                               D
That glittering may not be gold, don’t let no body play me
G                            D
If you are my homeboy, you never have to pay me
Em                                  D
Go on and put your hands up, when times are hard you stand up
C                        D
L-U-P the man, cause a brand that the fans trust
     C                           D
So even if they ban us they’ll never slow my plans up!


G                     D
Alright, already the show goes on
     Em                          D
All night, till the morning we dream so long
   C                        D
Anybody ever wonder, when they would see the sun go
        C  
Just remember when you come up
      D
The show goes on!
   G                   D
Alright, already the show goes on
