Death Story Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am]
[Dm][Am]
[Dm]

[Verse 1]
I'm [Am]black
in' out on my last leg
Takin' final breaths
Over[Dm]heard the Doctor say
I ain't gonna make it final steps
In [Am]the zone half panickin'
Half feelin' gone "Hang on [Dm]homie!"
My boys yellin' tryna keep me goin'
Little [Am]sister in the distance
I see her tears flowin' where [Dm]mommy at?
She on the ground past out cold
[Am]Aw man this is how it
ends death came quick
My [Dm]God i'll do anything just let me live
I wanna [Am]pray
But I can't pray, I never really done it
I don't [Dm]know if I should call Christ
Buddha, or Mohammed
Get[Am]tin' blunted earlier this evenin'
Now seems wrong
And my [Dm]brain is searchin' hard
For any scripture or song
I'm [Am]havin' flashbacks
Now I remember, it was December
I [Dm]was standing on the corner
Pitching rocks in the Winter
Young [Am]dude ran up on me
Thought he was a winner
But he started tryna convince me all
The ways I'm a sinner

[Verse 2]
Man, you never [Am]understood
before man
You've lied before right? Okay right
[Dm]You've stolen before right?
Well man you've already broken two
Of the ten commandments, man
That qualifies you [Am]as, a lawbreaker
That's, that's sin, man
That offends the holy and
Perfect and righteous [Dm]God, man
That's sin, you need a savior
Because of the sin, man
I'm just tryna break it down for you

[Verse 3]
[Dm]Gasps [Am]Havin' a hard
time breathin'
[Dm]But I ain't leavin' until I
Know what I believe [Am]in
Wait, may[Dm]be it was Ak on
the block
Who was tellin' me
Mohammed was the rock
Nah, [Am]stop! (You know man
You know Mohammed was
the truth
You know what [Dm]I'm
Sayin'? Islam is the way to go [Am]yo)
But ain't Mohammed die?
Yeah, dawg and they buried him
That's [Dm]scary then cause I don't know
If Allah really carries men
[Am]Let's get back to Jesus cough
Coughin' and wheezin'
[Dm]This worlds full of lies man
Everything's misleadin'
[Am]They told me don't be
scared to die
But dawg that's ridiculous
Cause [Dm]I don't know what happens to
Me next in this predicament
it's [Am]sickenin'
God, give me answers give me clues
Help me [Dm]understand who do I trust?
What do I do?

[Verse 4]
Okay we're los[Am]in'
him, we're losin' him!
He's dying fast nurse! Help me!
I need help over here hurry up!
[Dm]

[Verse 5]
Ah, oh man i can't [Am]breath
I'm dyin' can't [Dm]think
Wait, wait, Mohammed? Buddha?
No, no, no, no, no, no jesus, Jesus
[Am]Okay, back to Christ
First He lived, then He died
[Dm]Then that Easter play I saw one
Time said He came back alive
And God so loved the world
What's the rest of that verse?
Think fast, can't remember
help me [Am]nurse!
"What's John 3: 16, nurse?
[Dm]
"For God so loved the world that
He gave His only begotten son"
Gave [Am]up His only son
okay yeah that's right
So who[Dm]ever believes in Him
Wait? Who turned out the lights?
I'm dy[Am]in'! I'm dead!
No my eyes went closed
I can't [Dm]feel my feet no mo'
And my sides is cold
[Am]God, please I'm sorry for all
The wrong that I've done i know [Dm]I've
Been a terrible father and a horrible son
[Am]I see it now
I wish that I could change some things
In my [Dm]life
I really never took the blame for things
[Am]Like lyin' and stealin'
And hurtin' and dealin'
I'll quit it all if you're willin'
And let me walk out this buildin'
I wronged You, I see that i wanna give in
But I ain't really sure if
You've forgivin' my sins
[Dm]well this is it
No more discussion to do
i don't know much
But I know I should be trustin' in
