Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Genesis, chapter eleven,
verse ten
Explains the genealogy of Shem
Shem was a black man, in Africa
If you repeat this fact,

[Verse 2]
they can't laugh at ya
[Am]
Seem to not take it too well
When I tell you that it's
not the reason I fell
Then you know just how he felt, uh
When you look at how you gave

[Verse 3]
enough chance to sell
[Dm]All I ever w[G]anted was a
chance for [F]myself

[Verse 4]
[Am]
Why the fuck do you even speak? [G]Uh
[Am]It's not a[G] choice of speech,
and it sure ain't free, [Am]mm[G]
[Am]Wear your braids to keep your edge, uh
Stay in your corner, fuck [G]you up,
we [Asus4]lost our chill, uh[Am][G][Dm]

[Verse 5]
All you ever [G]wanted was a
chance for [F]yourself, uh
[Dm]To represent a[G] thing that we
have started [F]to build
[Dm]Why refresh [G]your soul and
my spirit [F]for them?
[Dm]All I ever w[G]anted was a chance
for my[F]self
[Am]

[Verse 6]
[G]Been chewed [Am]up but it makes
you [Dm]proud[G]
You're the dark skinned nigga in a
sold- out [Asus4]crowd
[Am]Lookin' at the girl with the thick,
blonde braid[F]s
And you're tryin' to make out
what her T- shirt [Dm]says
No one really ever cares
what "Thug Life" [G]means
They wanna be surrounded
but they hate to [Am]breathe
The air is thick as I plan my escape

[Verse 7]
[F]All [Dm]I ever wan[G]ted was a chance for mys[F]elf
