[Chorus]
Gm7                 Em
C'mon baby light my fire (Come on)
Gm7                       Em
Everything you drop is so tired (Everything)
Gm7                    Em
Music is supposed to inspire (Music is supposed to inspire)
Gm7                          Em
How come we ain't gettin' no higher? (How come, how come)
 
 
[Verse 1]
Gm7                     Em
Now tell me your philosophy
     Gm7                         Em
On exactly what an artist should be
            Gm7                     Em
Should they be someone with prosperity
    Gm7                Em
And no concept of reality?
 
 
[Bridge]
     Am7
Now, who you know without any flaws?
     Cm/A
That lives above the spiritual laws?
         Bm/A
And does anything they feel just because (Just because, just because)
        Am7
There's always someone there who'll applaud?
 
 
[Chorus]
Gm7                 Em
C'mon baby light my fire (Come on)
Gm7                       Em
Everything you drop is so tired (Everything you drop is so tired)
Gm7                    Em
Music is supposed to inspire (What are we here for, what are we here for)
Gm7                          Em
How come we ain't gettin' no higher? (Gettin' no higher)
 
 
[Verse 2]
  Gm7                               Em
I know you think that you've got it all
       Gm7                      Em
And by making other people feel small
      Gm7                        Em
Makes you think you're unable to fall
    Gm7                        Em
But when you do, who you gonna call?
 
 
[Bridge]
Am7
See what you give is just what you get (What you give is just what you get)
  Cm/A
I know it hasn't hit you yet (I know it hasn't hit you yet)
    Bm/A
Now I don't mean to get you upset (Get upset, get upset)
    Am7
But every cause has an effect, uh-huh!
 
 
[Chorus]
Gm7                 Em
C'mon baby light my fire (Come on)
Gm7                       Em
Everything you drop is so tired (Yeah)
Gm7                    Em
Music is supposed to inspire (Music is supposed to inspire)
Gm7                          Em
How come we ain't gettin' no higher? (We ain't no higher, we ain't no higher)
 
 
[Verse 3]
  G7#9
I cross sands in distant lands, made plans with the sheiks
Em
Why you beef with freaks as my album sales peak? Uhh
G7#9
  All I wanted was to sell like five hundred
    Em
And be a ghetto superstar since my first album blunted
  G7#9
I used to work at Foot Locker, they fired me: I fronted
     Em
Or I quitted, now I spit it, however do you want it?
  G7#9
Now you get it! Writing rhymes, in the Range,
              Em
With the frames lightly tinted
                                                   G7#9
Then send it to your block and have my full name cemented (Lauryn Hill!)
                                                  Em
And if your lines sound like mine I'm taking a percentage (ka-ching!)
                                             G7#9
Unprecedented, and still respected when it's vintage
                                       Em
I'm serious, I'm takin' over areas in Aquarius
                                        G7#9
Runnin' red lights with my ten thousand chariots
                                                Em
Just as Christ was a Superstar, you stupid, star!
 
They'll hail you then nail you, no matter who you are
        G7#9
They'll make you now then take you down, and make you face it
   Em
If you slit the bag open, put your pinky in it and taste it
 
 
[Chorus]
Gm7                 Em
C'mon baby light my fire
Gm7                       Em
Everything you drop is so tired (Everything you drop, everything you drop)
Gm7                    Em
Music is supposed to inspire (Oh yeah)
   Gm7                          Em
So how come we ain't gettin' no higher? (We ain't no higher, we ain't no higher)
 
 
Gm7                 Em
C'mon baby light my fire (C'mon baby light my fire)
Gm7                       Em
Everything you drop is so tired (Everything you drop is so tired)
Gm7                    Em
Music is supposed to inspire
   Gm7                          Em
So how come we ain't gettin' no higher? (How come we ain't gettin no higher?)
 
 
Gm7                 Em
C'mon baby light my fire (C'mon baby)
Gm7                       Em
Everything you drop is so tired (Everything you drop is so tired)
Gm7                    Em
Music is supposed to inspire
   Gm7                          Em                          G5
So how come we ain't gettin' no higher? (We ain't no higher)
