[Verse 1]
Walking [D]down the street is no longer
something you do without thinking.
Going down to the store becomes an [A]adventure.[G][A][Em]
[A][D][A]
[D][G][A][Bm]
[Em][A][D][A]
[D][Em][G]
Disagreements ended up in gunfight[Bm]s,
night -night
[Em]With the soldier who was last [A]to draw
You [D]got your ass whooped
if you had a plastic jar
[A]A b[D]astard boy, run up in the proj[G]ects
Where you can buy sex
And ain't no tellin' [Bm]who
gon' die next
[Em]We read our foes up cons[A]istently
I [D]didn't make this 45
while you [A]pissed at me
No [D]mystery, why my homie [G]dead and gone
He used to be this girlfriend
all [A]night [Bm]long[Em]
You know the story,
she [A]squeezed the trigger
[D]Put the whole clip in him
and [A]freeze my nigga
Now every[D]body in the hood
paid last re[G]spects
And when the solo was sung,
each [A]face was wet
[Bm]I re[Em]collect me and my nigga
chasin' [A]hoes and shit
[D]At the wake, tears drippin'
on my [A]clothes and shit
Stand [D]blank, get my dog in
[A]side [G]the casket
Interrupted by his little girl [A]laugh
[Bm]She's [Em]too young to understand,
so she [A]don't know
My nigga [D]mama goin' crazy on the [A]front row,
cause it [D]ain't easy
We got to love [G]somebody,
everybody [A]needs [Bm]somebody
[Em]We got to lo[A]ve somebody no[D]w[A]
[D]We got to love some[G]body,
everybody [A]needs some[Bm]body[Em]
We got to [A]love [D]somebody now
[A]Now y 'all was [D]planning to win,
but your man [A]got popped
[G]And it's the third time
that he [A]down on lock
Your [Em]phone ain't blocked,
[G]but you losing pa[A]tience
Agoniz[D]ing over the fucking
[A]years that he's facing
Look at his [D]so -called boys jigging
at you as the [G]time passes
Trying to get some pussy [Bm]with
they tripping as[Em]ses
You weak, but you [A]play strong
In the [D]middle of the night it ain't
[A]easy being home alone
[D]You feel betrayed so you [Em]fall
for [G]what some sucker said
Open your legs and give the
pussy [A]to a [Bm]knuckle[Em]head
Before y got y 'all [A]nut,
this shit was on the [D]streets
Pay attention to what I [A]mention
cause this shit get deep
[D]Your fiancé got the [Em]word
[A]from his [Em]cellb[G]lock
And went crazy like a [A]nigga
that was [Bm]shell -shocked
[Em]He hung himself cause
he [A]couldn't take it
They [D]tried to save him but
he couldn't make it
[A]Buried him butt naked
[D]You cried tears for your years [G]with
Slick
Can teach that old dog new
[A]tricks [Bm]for shit
Then under[Em]stand why
he couldn't stay free
[A]When they let[D] you out
they caged back into soci[A]ety
It ain't [D]easy
Say got to love [G]somebody
The whole system [A]is designed
[Bm]To d[Em]ehumanize you
and steal [A]your manhood
[D]DD welcome hom[A]e baby
Will I [D]die young?
These niggas are [G]do ing dirty
where I come from
You'd be lucky [A]to see [Bm]30
from petty [Em]disputes
Niggas [A]shoot from the drug deal[D]ing
Liquor stores and mortu[A]aries
are making the [D]killing
Our children sleeping on the [A]floor
Cause [G]ain't no telling when the gun blast
push[A]ing through the window
[Em]And politicians don't seem[A] to mind
They gives a [D]fuck about us
until it's [A]voting time
Not cause I'm [D]black,
white women be [Em]thankin' [G]the worst
Bitch, I don't want your
[D]motherfuckin' purse
[Bm]It's like I'm curs[Em]ed when
I walk up the streets
[A]Gettin' dir[D]ty looks from these niggas
and the [A]motherfuckin' police
[D]Mothers are prayin',
fathers are [G]playin' old songs
Reminiscin' of the days when
the family [Bm]was s[Em]trong
I felt guilty when my [A]baby girl
came in the [D]world
Tryin' to make it in this mother
[A]fuckin' wicked world
It ain't [D]easy,
[G]but [A]you[Bm]
[Em]can make it[A][D]
Just gotta [A]keep your head up,
[D]keep marching for[G]ward
Keep the haters behind you
at [A]all [Bm]times[Em]
Gots to say [A]what's up to my nigga
Pre[D]cious
[A]Nigga off the motherfuckin' [D]hook,
he laced the [A]track[G]
Everybody [A]needs some[Bm]body,
[Em]we got to love[A] someb[D]ody now
Y 'all niggas [A]gon' feel me,
[D]as if you [A]niggas [G]didn't already feel [A]me[Bm][Em]
11 [A]years and still standing
[D]Rap[A] a lot [D]of reco[A]rds[G]
[A]Loved by a few, hated by many
[Em]
