[Verse 1]
[C]Mak[Em]e me [Dm]feel it, uhhh
It's in the heart [Am]man[Dm][C]
I can feel it right here
It's in the heart man
I can feel it right [Gm]here [C]man,
[Dm]it's real
[Em](Every year about [Dm]this time)
Every year about this time,
yessuh
(There's someone like me)
There's always a dark [G]cloud
that [C]lingers over the city
There it is
And I wanna preach about it, looka here

[Verse 2]
Every [Em]year about this time I get to [Dm]diggin up
Old school memories that I keep
stored in the back of the head
In the back of my mind that I al
[C]ways seem to find
[Dm]When I'm marinatin with my [C]peoples,
slappin bones and drinkin wine
Just come home from Quentin,
and all I know [Em]is strind
Grind, [Dm]time- uhh,
dope game been gone it's either
White collared crime or uhh,
clickin [C]da bones
[Dm]How can I make some sort of di[C]vidends
How can I get my mathematics on
how can I get in where I fit in
How can I, get in get gone
Every [Em]year about this time it's always,
[Dm]someone like me
They uhh, handcuff and shackle,
and uhh, [C]throw away the key
Every [Dm]year about this [Gm]time it's [C]always,

[Verse 4]
Every [Em]year about this time- [Dm]uhh,
oh what a pity 'ater
Spooky dark cloud lingers,
[C]over the city [Dm]uhh
Life and death [C]does it, coincide
Will that, scared man live to tell how,
that brave man died
A j- a- [Em]just the other day,
[Dm]coulda sworn I heard a brother say
White folks kill they [D]parents,
[Dm]but black folks kill each other
You make the bed you [C]lay in,
if this is what you choose
But if you choose to cross the game,
then I'd have to break the news uhh

[Verse 6]
You think I'll ever be able [Em]to turn

Into some clean money?
Get a bidness license maybe someday
