Quick guide on how to read the letter notes

how to read and play the letter notes
Each group of letter notes is played from left to right, and vertical letters on the same column are played together.

The numbers in front of each line are the octave, each octave has an unique color so you can easily follow them.

Lowercase (a b c d e f g) letters are natural notes (white keys, a.k.a A B C D E F G ).
Uppercase (A C D F G) letters are the sharp notes (black keys a.k.a. A# C# D# F# G#), look at the image below to see where each letter note is on the piano keyboard.

The lines / dashes (-) between letters indicates timing to play the notes. Just listen to the audio file at the top of the post to figure out the time lenght of the dashes (usually 5-6 dashes is about 1 second)

RH / LH means Right Hand / Left Hand and it's mostly for people who play the piano, it tells them with what hand to play the lines. Also, if you want to play a easy version of the song, playing only the RH lines does exactly that, because on most songs RH notes are for melody and LH notes are for bass.

  1. Ay, ay, ay
    Good to see you, come on in, let's go
    Yeah, let's go
    Alright, alright
    OK, uh, alright, OK
    Alright, OK

    Return of the Mack, get up!
    What it is, what it does, what it is, what it isn't.
    Looking for a better way to get up out of bed
    Instead of getting on the Internet and checking a new hit me.

    Get up! Thrift shop, pimp-strut walking, little bit of humble, little bit of cautious
    Somewhere between like Rocky and Cosby. Sweater game, nope, nope y'all can't copy

    Yup. Bad, moon-walking, this here is our party, my posse's been on Broadway,
    And we did it our way.
    Grown music, I shed my skin and put my bones into everything I record to it
    And yet I'm on...

    Let that stage light go and shine on down,
    Got that Bob Barker suit game and Plinko in my style.

    Money, stay on my craft and stick around for those pounds,
    But I do that to pass the torch and put on for my town

    Trust me. On my I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T shit, hustling,
    Chasing dreams since I was fourteen with the four track bussing
    Halfway cross that city with the backpack, fat cat, crush shit.

    Labels out here,
    Nah, they can't tell me nothing
    We give that to the people,
    Spread it across the country
    Labels out here,
    Nah, they can't tell me nothing
    We give it to the people,
    Spread it across the country

    Can we go back? This is the moment
    Tonight is the night, we'll fight 'til it's over
    So we put our hands up like the ceiling can't hold us
    Like the ceiling can't hold us

    Can we go back? This is the moment
    Tonight is the night, we'll fight 'til it's over
    So we put our hands up like the ceiling can't hold us
    Like the ceiling can't hold us

    Nah, can I kick it? Thank you. Yeah I'm so damn grateful.
    I grew up, really wanted gold fronts
    But that's what you get when Wu-Tang raised you

    Y'all can't stop me, go hard like I got an 808 in my heart beat
    And I'm eating at the beat like you give a little speed to a great white shark on shark week

    Raw. Tell me go up. Gone!
    Deuces goodbye. I got a world to see, and my girl she wanna see Rome,
    Caesar'll make you a believer.

    Nah I never ever did it for a throne.
    That validation comes from giving it back to the people.
    Nah sing this song and it goes like

    "Raise those hands, this is our party
    We came here to live life like nobody was watching"
    I got my city right behind me
    If I fall, they got me.
    Learn from that failure gain humility and then we keep marching. I said...

    Can we go back? This is the moment
    Tonight is the night, we'll fight 'til it's over
    So we put our hands up like the ceiling can't hold us
    Like the ceiling can't hold us

    Can we go back? This is the moment
    Tonight is the night, we'll fight 'til it's over
    So we put our hands up like the ceiling can't hold us
    Like the ceiling can't hold us

    And so we put our hands up
    And so we put our hands up

    Wa oh oh oh wa oh oh oh wa oh oh
    Let's go!

    Na na na na na na na na (aha)
    Hey
    And all my people say

    Na na na na na na na na (that's right, feels good)
    Hey
    And all my people say

    Na na na na na na na na (it's alright)
    (Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh)
    And all my people say

    Na na na na na na na na
    Mack-le-le-le-le-le-more...

    [Album version ending:]
    Can we go back? This is the moment
    Tonight is the night, we'll fight 'til it's over
    So we put our hands up like the ceiling can't hold us
    Like the ceiling can't hold us
    Can we go back? This is the moment
    Tonight is the night, we'll fight 'til it's over
    So we put our hands up like the ceiling can't hold us
    Like the ceiling can't hold us.

    [Music video ending:]
    Let the night come, before the fight's won
    Some might run against the test
    But those that triumph, embrace the fight 'cause
    Their fears then prove that courage exists (c'mon)
    Let the night come, before the fight's won
    Some might run against the test
    But those that triumph, embrace the fight 'cause
    Their fears then prove that courage exists

    Hope [echo]
