[Intro 1]
[Am]
[C]
[G]
[Dm]

[Verse 1]
Come [Am]on
Two sheets to the wind in a taxi
Two feet to the wind in the backseat
[C](Two feet)
Two beeps to the car in front of us
Or one of us ending up wrapped round
[G]the chassis (These rhymes)
Thinking 'bout these rhymes,
and what they gave me
Sounds out this world,
but a micro[Dm]phone and (Microphone)
Two turntables saved me
Took me round the world and bought me
a home [Am]and (They know)
I've seen all these other crew's
bank too (I see you)
Not knowing all the ways
people [C]helped 'em
Might not ever get a damn thank you
But they're sure 'nough gonna get a you're
welcome (You're wel[G]come)
Matter fact, I ain't leaving (No)
I was here first and I don't
believe 'em (No)
I was here [Dm]bursting,
listening to Primo and Chino and Thirstin
And missing out on being there for people
in [Am]person (I'm sorry)
'Cause we don't sleep
when we're working
We don't bleed when we're hurting
We wear our [C]heart on our sleeve and I'm
certain (Come on)
That we'll feel the burden till we call it curtains,
you feel [G]me?
Do you feel [Dm]me?
This that
[Am]Light inside the core that can
blind with its force
It's the writing on the wall; light
it up on the porch
[C]It's 1994, five mic's in The Source
It's a mighty; mighty roar from
the crowd and of course, [G]it's
[Dm]This
Do you feel me?
[Am]Went from going through
quotes in the liners
[G]To being [C]known from the
shows on the fliers
[F]Playing packed rooms,
heading to the back room
To [C]cool down my face with some
ice from the [Am]rider
Looking out to a crowd full of lighters
[G]And the day[C] those lights
don't in[G]spire us
[F]You'll see me walking out
[C]I'm a ghost, I'm gone
[Am]Two sheets on a surface of water
Loose- leaf writing worthless and torn up
If I [C]could do these words justice
You'd see how much it's
worth that I fought for
[G]Every kid that never got one mention
Every little bit of love or affection
I'm [Dm]done with pretending
the sun is descending
And all good things must come
to [Am]an ending
'Cause I swore to the day this is
Nothing more than a flawed
entertainment biz
[C]And if I walk away with nothing
well let me tell you something
That's fucking more
than I came [G]here with
Feel [Dm]me? (I'm gone)
Do you feel [Am]me? (I'm gone)
And I'd be lying if I said
I wasn't grateful
For my life for my friends
and for the faithful
[C]It's been a ride but there's
been a few times
That I'd thought I'd lose sight
when the effort was so painful
[G]But rap gave me such inspired dreams
In fact maybe touched my life when things
[Dm]Got a little crazy and nobody would pay me
The ends that plainly justified the means
[Am]At last I can see we've all been blind
It's hard to believe that all this time
[G]That I wore my heart on my sleeve
for this art and the scene
Gonna be hard when I leave that all behind
[Dm]You feel me?
Do you feel [Am]me?
Went from going through
quotes in the liners
[C]To being known from the
[G]shows on the fliers
[F]Playing packed rooms,
heading to the back room
To [C]cool down my face with some
ice from the rider
[Am]Looking out to a crowd full of lighters
[G]And the day those
lights don't inspire us
[F]You'll see me walking out
[C]I'm a ghost, I'm gone
[Am]Went from going through
quotes in the liners
[G]To being kno[C]wn from the
[G]shows on the fliers
[F]Playing packed rooms,
heading to the back room
To [C]cool down my face with some
ice from the rider
[Am]Looking out to a crowd full of lighters
[G]And the day those
lights don't inspire us
[F]You'll see me walking out
[C]I'm a ghost, I'm gone
[Am]Low winter sun, light the dawn in gold
I'm a ghost, I'm [C]gone
Though when it's done night is on us all
I'm a ghost, I'm [G]gone
Nowhere to run, writings on the wall
I'm a ghost, I'm [Dm]gone
[F]So when it [Dm]come, rise before we fall
I'm a ghost, I'm gone
[Am]Low winter sun, light the dawn in gold
I'm a ghost, I'm gone
[C]Broken and done dying on us all
I'm a ghost, I'm gone
[G]Nowhere to run, writings on the wall
I'm a ghost, I'm gone
[Dm]So when it[F] comes, rise, ri[Dm]se,
before [Am]we fall[G][F][C]
