Glitches (The Skin You're In) (Radio Edit) chords and lyrics - AMEL LARRIEUX, THE ROOTS

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[Am][Chorus]
You live, you die
And spend the [Dm]years in between
asking the question
[E]Why you've been
through what [Am]you been
You lose, you win
You even [Dm]pay for other sins
But you most [E]always adore the skin
you [Am]are in

[Verse 2]
[Black Thought] I woke up and it was pouring down rain
[E]
I put my head [Dm]on,
it really wasn't no [Am]thing
One [E]of them days I was feeling
immune to [Am]the pain
Threw on, Alice Coltrane,
smoked and sang

[Verse 3]
And wrote [Am]this flame compused to
[Dm]the rhythm of the droplets
And went whispering simliar to gossip
[E]The kick slapping at the window gla[Am]ss
Slow down the globe [Dm]so
it don't [Am]spin too fast

[Verse 4]
[Am]Because, I been running
like a river since
The age [Dm]of my early innocence
It just made me ambi[E]tious

[Verse 5]
My grams used to tell me "Man listen,
[Am]If you can't burn,
don't step into the kitchen"
You muscle your turn,
the laws of the land vis[E]cious
We gotta stick [Dm]to the plan, which is
Pursuing true [E]riches,
whether we trade stock or wash [Am]dishes

[Verse 6]
Throughout setbacks and few glitches
The Big Picture's the focus,
fuckin being hopeless
[Dm]Or helpless,
we not selfish so we wrote [E]this
Give it to ya, make [Am]you feel good
[Dm]Know [E]wha[Am]t
[Dm]I'm [E]talkin
about? [Am]C' mon
[Chorus]

[Verse 7]
[Black Thought] [Am]Yo from
the parquet floors
to the fifty foot ceiling
[E]I pull the heavy black curtain [Am]back,
now revealing
The [E]sun beneath the velvet,
and like it was mine

[Verse 8]
No [Am]one elses, embracing the beams yo,
I felt it
And stood there,
feeling it, getting charged
Turn [E]me loose upon the [Dm]streets,
a young poet at [E]large
Out in the world,
up against tremendous odds

[Verse 9]
[Am]Some'll let it break em and throw
in they cards
But my squad remain focus
when we goin for ours
And we [Dm]don't,
do it for chains or do it for [Am]cars
And we [E]don't,
do it for lames or do it for broads

[Verse 10]
And we [Am]don't, do it for fame,
we do it because
It's for the young black gifted mind
[Dm]Liv ing the story [E]of the most
[Dm]twisted kind
Turbu[E]lent times swirled around
they dome like a turban

[Verse 11]
It [Am]get s disturbing, feelin alone in the urban
But maintain ya grip for just a little bit
[Dm]I'd tell you it's all good
but that's bullshit
[E]Let's just try to feel good,
[Am]yeah...know what I'm talkin bout

[Verse 12]
[Amel Larrieux] [Am]A spirit
knows we're meant [Dm]to blow
A [E][unknown] rose by
[Am]the seat of your soul
You past it all an[Dm]d seeds
your soul
Are destined [E]to grow even after [Am]you go
