[Intro 1]
[Am][A][Dm][Em]
[Am][A][Dm][Em]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
[A]Lately I just say I'm outta [Dm]town
'Cause I don't [Em]really care to be [Am]around
[A]I been making up for my mist[Dm]akes
I've been through a lot, I need a break
[Am]More life, Never [A]caught
Wrong place at the [Dm]wrong time
I ain't had [Em]no chicken in [Am]a long time
[A]I ain't seen my youngin' in a[Dm] fortnight
Got a demon triggering the porch light
[Am]Oh nah
Stay [A]alone 'cause a lot of y'all [Dm]the faux kind
I don't trust you if [Em]you tell
me that [Am]you don't lie
[A]Asking how I'm doing,
yeah I'm do[Dm]ing fine
Don't you know the foolish
always grow wise
[Am]Capetown with [A]the kinfolk,
we don't play around
[Dm]Grandma was on the slave
ship [Em]but we home now
Mama [Am]do not [A]work the grave shift,
she in Rome [Dm]now
USA be on they bullshit,
better [Em]go no[Dm]w
[Am]Aye, homie why [A]you stressing,
we got one foot [Dm]in the grave
Brother get your money,
get yo [Em]ass up on t[Am]he plane
[A]Why you with this women if you
know she playing [Dm]games?
Why you with this nigga if he treat
you like you [C]lame?[Am]

[Verse 2]
Let [A]go (go), you ain't gotta
[Dm]hold on no more [Em](more)
If you [Am]got a good thing,
go [A]for it (for it)
We ain't with the [Dm]bad things
no [A]more (more)
Girl, you [Em]gotta [Am]let go,
[A]let go (go)
You ain't gotta [Dm]hold on
no more (more)
If you [Am]got a good thing, go [A]for it (for it)
We ain't with the [Dm]bad things no
[Em]more (no more)[Am]

[Verse 3]
[A]They be saying Karma is [Dm]a bitch, ah
But I don't let [Em]them talk
about [Am]my friends, nah
[A]You was taking people from [Dm]their kids,
now you bitter cause I'm chillin' with my kin now, [Am]wow
I don't [A]eat if I didn't pull
it from [Dm]the ground
Gotta a lot of love so I [Em]give
to [Am]the crowd
Man I swear my [A]great,
great Grandma would be [Dm]proud
We ain't pickin' cotton,
I'm the nigga with [Am]the crown
[A]"Thank you very much,

[Verse 4]
its uh"
"Privilege and a honor to be a in the white
intellectual ghetto of the West[C]"

[Verse 5]
[Am]In t[A]he car, in LA on t[Dm]he 99
Sunrise, Red [Em]Sky, Am[Am]bience
Bad days, [A]Rear view, and [Dm]they stay behind
PH 'round [Em]9, livin' alkaline
[A]Black boy[Am],
[A]you could be what you want [Dm]to be
You the one that carry that baton
when [Em]they come for me
[Am]Came from, [A]the concrete
that's a fizzy fact
[Dm]Came up, clear streams in the [A]grizzy grass,
[G]yeah[E]

[Verse 6]
Keepin' it honest [Am]They try
to kill you, I promise
They do it all for the commas
I stay [Em]alive for my chil[E]dren,
I don't be trustin' they doctors
Politi[Am]cians is phony, they be villains,
impost[E]ors
They gonna [Em]tell [E]you its gold,
but show it really be copper
And they [Am]don't want you tappin'
into all that spirit inside [Em]us
They want you chasin' the car[E]rot
Want you fiendin' for Pradas
They want you [Am]sick 'til you vomit
[Dm]'Cause you no [Em]use when you conscious
(conscious, conscious, conscious)
