by Afroman


This song is on Afroholic: The Even Better Years.  It sounds like John C.
Mellencamp's "Jack 'N Dianne," but Afroman plays it in the key of "G."

Chords (Bar Chords sound best for the song):

  (355433)

  (x57775)

  (x35553)

The rhythm is simple, but Afroman changes his vocal pattern often.  The Following
Chords are the best i could do if you want to imitate his "style."

** Truely Knowing Jesus Christ is the ONLY way to Heaven!! **

Song picks up imediately no intro.

Verse 1:

                             
 A little diddy, about the A-fro-man

                                        
 A Mississippi rapper, doin' the best he can

                    
 Afro gon be a hip-hop star

                                       
   Freestylin' in the back of that police car

Chorus 1:

                   
 Oh yeah, life goes on

(no music)
Long after the Sheriff Department is gone

                          
 Oh yeah, I said life goes on

                                   
 Long after the Sheriff Department is gone

Verse 2:

                              
 Afro got some weed, and hit the bong

                                      
 He hit the jackpot, when he wrote a hit song

                                      
 Signed with Universal, cuz he was ha-vin fun

                               
 But they took his money, like En-ron

Chorus 2:

                    
 And oh yeah, life goes on

                                 
 Long after the thrill of riches is gone

                        
 Oh yeah, I said life goes on

                                 
 Long after the thrill of riches is gone

Verse 3:

                          
 Broke and alone, in a cheap motel

                                         
 Afro spots a Bible, and he says "what the hell"

                                                           
Bible say it's better to give, than it is to receive

                              
 Afro went to church and said "I believe"

                                  
 Universal loved Afro when he was on top
 
                    
But when he became a Christian, that's when he got dropped

                                              
 Jesus would comfort Afro when he prayed
                       
Jesus said "Don't worry bout that money

(no music)
People download your music off the internet anyway"

Jesus said

Chorus 3:

                 
 oh yeah, life goes on

                                                  
 Long after corrupt record companies go bankrupt

                          
 Oh yeah, I said life goes on

                                         
 Long after corrupt record companies go bankrupt

Verse 4 (Beat Drops W/ Vocals only):

So let em steal, let em do all this wrong
Let em make evil videos, and encourage evil songs
Keep rippin off artists for as long as you can
People go to the internet and make you a broke man
