Excuse Me Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Bb][G#5][Am][Dm]
[Am][Bb][G#5][Dm][Bb]
[F]
Look [Am]what I've

[Verse 1]
found, come get down
It's that revolution sound
Call it second emancipation,
[G#5]break these [Am]chains and let me out
It's not violence I'm on about,
but riot boots still hit the ground
Lower the [A5]gun put [Bb]down the w[G#5]hip
Take a [Bb]step back hear me [Am]out
I am fanatic, employ guerilla tactics
Open up this lyrical automatic [G#5]and
put [Am]holes in your [F]rhetoric
It's ar[Am]chaic, kind of chaotic,
almost bar[A5]baric
[Bb]But [G#5]yet you st[A5]and
[Bb]and you [Am]swear by it
And I've been readily,
steadily waiting for a chance to resist
The devil is a liar, topple the empire
Blood sweat tears and desire
I put my heart into this
Never forget I'm a soldier
[A]I w[Am]ill not be conquered

[Verse 2]
I can't walk [Am]this road [F]forever,
and I can't forget the pas[Dm]t
My soul is under pressure,
[Am]and it's killing me[C][Am]
It's destroying me within,
[F]my need for emancipatio[Dm]n
My soul is under pressure,
[Am]and it's killing me

[Verse 3]
[E]Life, [Am]liberty, pursuit of happiness,
equality and justice for all
Now you know you lying

[Verse 4]
You on that [Am]shotgun philosophy,
celebrate the tragedy
Build an effigy high [G#5]to the hea[Am]vens
to remind me and blind me
Turn the whole world into my enemy
Con[Bb]trol my [Am]des t[G#5]iny and
[Am]drain [Bb]all my e[Am]nergy
It's insane to me
Got the whole nation sedated and medicated
A testimony [G#5]to the viole[Am]nce
Yet you still give me that
ghetto education
Basically priming me to feed
me [G#5]to the pri[Am]son industry
I see all of the cowards, the greed,
the need to hold control [G#5]over m[Am]e
Break these chains, end the power
I'd rather you give back
what [C]you stole from me
[Am]I

[Verse 5]
can't walk this road [F]forever,
and I can't forget the pas[Dm]t
My soul is under pressure,
[Am]and it's killing me[C][Am]
It's destroying me within,
[F]my need for emancipatio[Dm]n
My soul is under pressure,
[Am]and it's killing me[Dm][Am]

[Interlude 1]
[Dm][Am]
[Dm][Am]

[Verse 6]
Excuse me Mister [Am]officer,
come out of my sector
[C]No need to stress, no [Dm]need for vex[Am]

[Verse 7]
[Am]Ah, [C]ah, [Dm]ey
[Am]Yo, excuse me your honor, fuck the drama
No apolo[C]gies, I save that for my mama
[Dm]Take my [Am]name off of the docket
Drop all these charges
[C]All it took was a spark,
all it took was a [Dm]catalyst
[Am]Martin said it best,
I live a life with no [C]vi olence
So I speak up, no longer [Dm]silent
[Am]I begin to see
My third eye is open[C]ing
And my resolve is [Dm]strengthening
I yearn [Am]to be free

[Verse 8]
I can't walk [Am]this road forever[F],
and I can't forget the pas[Dm]t
My soul is under pressure,
[Am]and it's killing me[C][Am]
It's destroy[Asus4]ing me withi[Am]n,
[F]my need for emancipatio[Dm]n
My soul is under pres[Am]sure,
and it's killing [Dm]me[Am]

[Verse 9]
Excuse me Mister [Am]officer
no need for [F]war
Trying to drain my energy,
but you can't keep me [Dm]down

[Verse 10]
I, [Dm]I, I,[Am] I, I, I can't walk this road foreve[F]r,
and I can't forget the pas[Dm]t
My soul is under pressure,
[Am]but it won't kill me
