[Intro 1]
[Am][F]
[Am][F][Am]
[F]
[E]Mike:[Am]

[Verse 1]
[F]
[Am]
This is [F]a s[E]tor[Am]y of them against us,
win or [F]lose
Forcing your feet into someone
else's shoes
Everybody's got something to say,
that we ought to
Live their way,
what we're doing's not [Am]okay
In this world every[F]body's got a chip on
Both sides [Am]of the neck, [F]got no [Am]respect
Wait up a sec
[F]You ever feel like the pressure is
Too much to take, too much [Am]weight?
Ladies and [F]gentlemen
If anybody can hear me right
now please shout back
[Am]We're not the [Dm]only ones
[F]feeling so trapped
In the [Am]dream [F]of somebody else,
in [Am]fact
They got their heads full of some
overblown scheme
Opportunity they [F]missed back
when they were six[Am]teen
And all they want to do
is push [F]you to be that
And all you want to do [E]is scream back
[Am]Holly

[Verse 2]
Tak Mike: Gonna
be sombody
(For anybody telling me I can't)
Gonna be someone
(For anyone who [F]told me
I had [E]no [Am]chance)
Gonna be somebody
(I'm telling you the time has come)
Gonna be someone
[F](And maybe you'll get it when
[Em]I'm finally done)
We don't [Am]sleep to dream,

[Verse 3]
we sleep to build [F]stamina
[Am]Energy to do our thing,
get your camera
Cause this [F]ride is about to begin
Sit down and buckle it [Am]in,
lemme say it again
In this world everybody's got a [F]chip on
Both sides of the neck, got no respect
[Am]Wait up a [F]sec
When I was young they said the
Odds of making it were slim [Am]to none
Ladies and, fuck it
I'm [F]tired of them saying
the dream you have
Doesn't exist,
telling you you're worthless saying you should quit
Basically telling you that you'll
[Am]never be shit
Really they're pissed cause they'll
[F]never achieve some
Opportunity they missed back
when they were sixteen
And all they want to do
is push you to be that
And all you want to do [E]is scream back

[Verse 4]
Lupe [Am]Fiasco:
They're gonna think you're crazy
Mumbling to yourself in the
[F]basement all day
[E]Uh-uh-uh-ing and and and and to
[C]yourself
[Am]My pops didn't dig it with
shoveling it to my[F]self
My boys used to get it they [Am]dug it
because they felt
My undertaking took me I
was making in my stealth
A wealth of rhymes [E]of crazy I
would chuckle [C]to myself
[Am]Then they went into the mental rolodex
See I knew 'em by [F]heart
like a brain in my [Am]chest
Then I took 'em to school
where subjects were getting [F]felt
[Am]Books under my [E]seat notebook
[Em]laying on my [C]desk
My [Am]teacher's like, "Mr. Jaco?"
"Yes?"
"With all that knowledge,
you ain't trying to college
Be a lawyer or a doctor,
get a whole lot of dollars
Rather degrade woman and
[E]glorify [C]violence?"
Well [Am]the work that works for me
might not [F]work for you
No homework, I [E]got work [Am]to[F]
[E][Am]
[F][E][Am]
[F][Am][F]
