Always Knew Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em][C]
Yeah,
this right here is dedicated to
[Em]My family, my friends, my lady,
everybody that held me down
(Shine a light on me, shine a light on me) especially the Lord,
you know what I mean
[C]Shine a light on me,[Em]
shine a light on me
Y'all a bright light in my life,
you feel me? (yeah yeah, ay)
Shine a light on [C]me
Learned a lot over the last few [Em]years In

[Verse 2]
[C]
dustry people ain't friends,
just peers
I learned [Em]that these girls is easy
like the morning of a Sunday
They don't love you until
you gone [C]like Harambe
Still killing over colors,
now it's black and blue
We dyin' every day, B,
we just [Em]don't make the news
When you speak up for
your race just watch
They gon' twist and say you hate these cops,
I'ma take these [C]shots
How can he love Jesus,
[Em]Kanye, and K Dot?
[C]Martin, Malcolm, and Schaeffer,
Mit[Em]subishi, and Maybach?
Contradictory, nah,
it's complimentary
Understanding me ain't
for the simple and elementary
[C]Oh, I know this might go over some [Em]heads
But [C]I come from being government fed,
could [Em]be running from feds
But now I give the government bread
'Cause you playing back the words that I said,
that's crazy

[Verse 3]
I can't believe we made [C]it through
(yeah [Em]yeah, yeah yeah)
[C]My momma say she ain't surprised,
told [Em]me that she always knew (yeah yeah, yeah yeah)
My day ones still the same ones,
love to the [C]crew (yeah [Em]yeah, yeah yeah)
[C]I told my lady I ain't never met
[Em]nobody like you (like you)
I thank you

[Verse 4]
Now I remem[C]ber, uh,
I was sittin' in [Em]my room
[C]Glued to my television daily after [Em]school
And I never saw me going to college
Higher learning was a different world,
I can acknowledge
I used [C]to imagine being in a black Range
[Em]Gettin' paid[C] from doin'
this little rap thing
And now [Em]I'm paying these professors
couple thousand for a lesson
Graduated in recession,
Sally Mae just want a check and I'm stress[G]in'
Rap music, it [Em]was all a dream
Now [C]I'm in a session chasin'
my dreams
Who woulda knew man,
[Em]it's crazy
S1 introduced me to Jay- Z,
never met my dad but I met the music [D]that raised [C]me
I know this might go over some [D]heads
But [C]I come from being government fed,
could [Em]be running from feds
But now I give the government bread
'Cause you playing back the words that I said,
that's crazy

[Verse 5]
I can't believe we made it [C]through
(yeah [Em]yeah, yeah yeah)
[C]My momma say she ain't surprised,
told me that she always [Em]knew (yeah yeah, yeah yeah)
My day ones still the same ones,
love to the [C]crew (yeah yeah, yeah yeah)
I told my lady I ain't never met
nobody like [Em]you (like you)
I thank you

[Verse 6]
[C]Listen, I know God did
it, can't take the credit
Paid off all of my debts
but I still feel so indebted
Been [Em]all over the world
with these songs I wrote
My life story oughta give y'all hope
Without a doubt I've been [C]doubted
and counted out
I've been down for the count,
about to quit
Mama told me keep going,
'cause I was [Em]made for this
I either get a scholarship
or I could get a hit
I still can't believe I made it here

[Verse 7]
I can't believe we made it [C]through
(yeah yeah, yeah yeah)
My momma say she ain't surprised,
told [Em]me that she always knew (yeah yeah, yeah yeah)
My day ones still the same ones,
[C]love to the crew (yeah yeah, yeah yeah)
I told my lady I ain't never met
nobody like [Em]you (like you)
I thank you

[Verse 8]
Shine a light on [C]me, shine a light on me
Shine a light on me, shine [Em]a light on me
Yeah yeah, ay
Shine a light on [C]me, shine a light on [Em]me
[C]Shine a light on me, shine a l[Em]ight on me
