Giovanni

C#m B A
(X2)

[Verse 1]

C#m                 B
  You might want to hold my comb
         A
When you find out what I'm made of
C#m                 B                  A
  You might want to follow me and copy all of my mistakes
C#m      B            A
  I'm so nice, so nice
                         C#m
You can not smile when I smile
      B          A
And I cry, I cry
                            C#m
It's just the rain so I can grow

[Chorus]

C#m                B
Any minute now you get the message
A
Eenie meenie miney pick an apt description
      C#m                        B
I'm impressive, you can check my chart for reference
         A
Moon-and sun-kissed, reverend blessed it
C#m                    B
  Come and listen to a quick confession
A
Water is to oil me to your aggression
       C#m
I'm protected
         B                         A
Joycetta prayed on me, mama burned sage for me
                           C#m           B
None can take that energy away from me
     A                                           C#m
I've been up in here since grandmama was a baby, praise me
           B                A
I be on my Giovanni, tea and honey

Tell it like I see it
              C#m
Speak it so I be it
             B
My ancestors watch me
          A
Fairytale walking
                                    C#m
Black Goldilocks, yeah my naps just right
                     B                   A
You got questions, I know that's right
                   C#m     B   A
There must be a reason why
                   C#m     B   A
There must be a reason
                   C#m     B   A
There must be a reason why
                   C#m     B   A
There must be a reason

[Verse 2]

C#m                     B
Little bitty, you wanna call me
  A
A hundred motherfuckers cannot tell me
C#m                               B
How I'm supposed to look when I'm angry
A
How I'm supposed to shrink when you're around me
   C#m                   B
Permission denied to rearrange me
         A
I am the Kingdom, I am not your Queen
C#m                        B
Hotep better step from up around me
         A
I am not your rib, I am not your Eve

There must be a reason why
