Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em]
[D][Em]
[D][Em]
[C][D][Em][D][G]

[Verse 1]
I was [Em]an outcast,
outsider
Trouble-maker
A A lost soul, outta control
In danger
Didn't have a care in the world
My feelings were numb
[D]Never showing [Em]emotion
Is easy for some
I don't know how it happened
How I got to this point
But I needed a way out
I was stuck in a ploy
[C]I needed another [D]path
or I'd self [Em]destruct
I was [D]down on my luck
My [G]head was so [Em]fucked
A menace rollin' the streets
[D]is what I was
Hold[Em]in' my heat and rollin' with
the serious thugs
You couldn't tell me a thing
I was [D]like my brother
Words went in [Em]one ear
and out the other
Slangin' and bangin'
With a [D]chip on my shoulder
An in[Em]sane, hit the brain
Certified street soldier
[C]So clo[G]se to the gra[Em]ve
You at an early [D]age
Can't tell you the [G]price I've paid
[Em]Oh, the sky overhead

[Verse 2]
[D]
Is [Em]like a [D]canvas [Em]of gray
I dunno how much [D]time
[Em]I'm be[C]ginnin' [Em]to save
From the first spring to [D]light
[Em]To the e[C]nd of th[Em]e day
I'm just [C]livin' my [Em]life
Till they [D]come carry me away
[Em]I've been there in LA nights In the

[Verse 3]
[D]
block where I came up
My pops used to [Em]hate
When we hanged with them bangers
Guess he knew one day
[D]that we'll become us
That's just how [Em]it is when
you live where we come from
Fight, don't run
Is the [D]motto we live by
Get 'em on the [Em]ground
And stomp a mind about ten [C]times
Sure we was just [Em]kids back then
I [D]had no remorse for
what we [Em]did back then
Six of us, one call, we'd all pack in
Hit the strip,
and go and get the shit crackin'
Gun wars, and drug deals,
I seen 'em happen
When I started losin'
homeboys I wasn't laughin'
I looked all around and seen
None of 'em there
That's when I figured out
That nobody cared
If we [C]lived or die
We'll just [Em]get high and ride
And I [D]wasn't gonna let this
happen [Em]one more time

[Verse 4]
Oh, the sky over[D]head
Is [Em]like a canvas of gray
I dunno how much [D]time
[Em]I'm beginnin' to save
From the first spring to [D]light
[Em]To the end of the day
I'm just [C]livin' my [Em]life
Till they [D]come carry me away
[Em]My mother would stand for me Every

[Verse 5]
[Em]
step of the way
She did not [D]judge me
She [Em]told me I'd win some day
When I was at my lowest
When I had no focus
[D]She pulled me out [Em]the gutter
Said I wasn't hopeless
Every night she prayed for me
I was out on the street
[D]Chillin' on the [Em]corner with
the hand on my heat
Eyes open wide for the [D]pigs and [Em]foes
It's [D]an every day hazard
when you hustle for doe
[Em]So many nights I didn't come home
She [D]thought the worst
Maybe some[Em]body shot me down
Without any remorse
Maybe I hurt somebody
and I was [D]stuck in a cell
Well, I [Em]re gret all those times that
I put her through hell
When I reflect back on those days,
[D]my heart aches
And everybody [Em]I lost or let down
I wish I could take it all [C]back
And make it better, but I [Em]can't
So I try to make [D]amends
And be there,
through [Em]thick and thin

[Verse 6]
Oh, the sky over[D]head
Is [Em]like a canvas of gray
I dunno how much [D]time
[Em]I'm beginnin' to save
From the first spring to [D]light
[Em]To the end of the day
I'm just [C]livin' my [Em]life
Till they [D]come carry [Em]me away

[Verse 7]
Come carry [Em]me away
Come carry me away
Come carry me [C]away[D][Em]
[D]Come [Em]carry me away

[Outro 1]
[Em][C][D]
[Em][D][Em]
