I Didn't Ask To Come Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em][C][Em]
[C]Eve[Em]ryday
somebody gets killed
What's the deal [C]it's 1995
And a nigga wanna live the [Em]type
of life that people dream
I want things, a [C]crib, a car,
while living the life of a king
I [Em]know I take for granted at times
for what I got
Still hust[C]lin' and bustlin'
And now and then I stand a pop
or two [Em]to come up
A steady battle through the days
Mam[C]ma think I'm wrong because
I wanna get paid
The sys[Em]tem ain't given T-
mo a chance
22 on the [C]loose and black
Trying to get the noose a little
slack [Em]around my neck
They making it hard for a brother to cope
[C]It's still illegal to smoke cess
cause they can't tax
[Em]I'm ready to go up in
the warehouse with my ax
[C]And chop up shit until they give

[Verse 2]
my freedom back
[Em]Service to what, who
Damn, you got caught sought away out
The [C]trait is getting full, calling up your pull
[Em]But pull ain't got it
I fell cold inside like
A [C]man sleeping on pavement
Under the bridge of I- [Em]20 west
And stress on the face of the man
Cussing [C]out the atmosphere with
nobody close enough to hear
[Em]And who dat miss they fee
Cuz all they personal shit
Is [C]sitting on the front lawn
of Apple Tree
[Em]And for those who ain't got take
Before the owner shows back
[C]up with the U- haul
Police you call
But wasn't no [Em]marshall
there to watch your stuff
See I stand tall [C]to this world
Like a kid walking rapping
his rhymes to him[Em]self
A book on a shelf of many
[C]MC's seen them come and go
Style free with Cool Breeze
[Em]Til it's thick like dat fog
Stacking away my [C]extra for
a engine for tha hog
Dropping a point [Em]from the East
From a location out [C]tha trees

[Verse 3]
360 degrees
[Em]Born into these crooked ways
I never even [C]ask to come so now
I'm living in the days
I [Em]struggle and fight to stay alive
Hoping that [C]one day I'd
earn the chance to die
[Em]Pallbearer to this one,
pallbearer to that one
[C]Can't seem to get a grip

[Verse 4]
cause, my palms is sweatin'
[Em]Niggas ain't getting no where fast but,
closer [C]to the hearse
Why sunbeam burst off [Em]bas
kets nearly blinding me
Almost dropped ma [C]end of
the casket
Woodgrain and the only [Em]thang
on my brain
Is where this coward hang
[C](SWATS) South West
Atlanta Fountain [Em]Lane
Forgot the batch niggah got thirty [C]years
Lord forgive me and my foes I [Em]know
Revenge is best served when
cold by those
Who [C]feel no guilt
God don't care whether you
got a spade [Em]or not
Ain't no turning in your playing
hand you [C]was dealt
Better tighten up your belt man,
[Em]always go with
The first instinct because,
I don't make the [C]rules
Ooh, you know how it
is in these [Em]streets
Victims rarely get a chance to think twice

[Verse 5]
As he laid in the final resting place [Em]He
had such a peaceful
expression in his face
My [C]visions blurry from crying
But it ain't hard to see [Em]that
At any time it coulda been me
It's about [C]90 degrees outside
But yet it felt like I'm froze
[Em]The ceremonies come to a close
I toss [C]a rose but just can't seem
to walk away [Em]yet
Damn I done fucked around and got upset
[C]But it ain't nothing we can do
It's bigger than [Em]me and you
One day our time coming too
So ain't no [C]use in being sad
Leaving here was probably
the [Em]best gift he ever had
We should be glad
[C]Maybe his life was something
That he had to give to [Em]show me
That I need to be responsible
about how [C]I live
I won't complain about my pain
But I just [Em]ain't gone let my
niggas die in vain
So Bean I'm gone [C]make it for you
The cycle that these young black
men [Em]keep goin through
I'm gone break it for you
And [C]start takin care of me
And me consist of [Em]all my
friends and my family
From now [C]on, until [Em]I'm gone

[Verse 6]
Born into these crooked ways
I never even [C]ask to come so now
I'm living in the days
I [Em]struggle and fight to stay alive
Hoping that one [C]day I'd
earn the chance to die
[Em]Pallbearer to this one,
pallbearer to that one
[C]Can't seem to get a grip cause,
my palms is sweat[Em]in
