[Verse 1]
[D]"Now, I can't say exactly
what did happen
You just don't understand unless

[Interlude 1]
you been through it"
[D][G][D]
Hey [G]yeah![D]

[Verse 2]
[G][D][G][D]
Hey [G]yeah![D]
Awh!

[Verse 3]
I got [D]soul, dress got holes

[Verse 4]
Got a brand new [D]bag,
gun and Cherokee
Driving fast life flashes past,
the cops are chasing me
Hot- pants, she looked fine,
she said that she was mine
She was cute, torched my suit,
and that's the bottom line

[Verse 5]
It's [D]a man's man's world in America
Jump back in my cell
Please please please in America
Slipping into hell

[Verse 6]
On my [D]tail, car chase boogaloo
FBI, CIA, and the Russians too
Kicking down the door,
couldn't take no more
When I'm about,
there is no doubt that papa's word is law

[Verse 7]
It's a [D]man's man's world in America
Jump back in my cell
Please please please in [G]America
[D]Slipping into [G]hell

[Verse 8]
[D]"Life can be bright in America
If you can fight in America
[F]Life is [D]all right in America
If you're all- white in
[F]America"
[D]

[Verse 9]
[G]
[D]High- speed chase on my [G]case[D]
Radio ahead
A.P.B. after me
They said I shot the bed

[Verse 10]
It's [D]a man's man's world in America
Jump back in my [G]cell[D]
Please please please in America
Slipping into hell

[Verse 11]
Shooting up her [D]mink ("Get the hell out of
the car!"), gunshots in the air
Jump back, my car ("Get out of the
car!"), goodfoot out of there
Roadblock ahead,
try to flag me down ("Drop to your knees!")
Soul power and miles per hour ("Drop to the
ground"), feet don't touch the ground

[Verse 12]
'Cause I got [D]soul, dress got holes
[G]Inten[D]t to kill, but she loves me still

[Verse 13]
It's [D]a man's man's world in America
Jump back in my cell
Please please please in America

[Interlude 2]
Slipping into hell
[D]

[Verse 14]
Hey yeah! 'Cause it's [D]a
man's man's
world in America
Jump back in my cell
Please please please in America
[G]Sli[D]pping into hell
[G]Good God

[Interlude 3]
[D][G][D]
[G]I got

[Verse 15]
[D]soul, I'm Superbad
Living in [G]America [D]sure
does drive you mad

[Verse 16]
It's [D]a man's man's world in America
Jump back in my cell (hey
yeah!)
Please please please in America

[Verse 17]
Slipping into hell
[D]Bullets hit the wheel,
ricochet, cold sweat
Talking loud, black 'n' proud,
said, papa don't mess
Can you walk the line, rookie,
read my rights
Million hits, did the splits,

[Verse 18]
this is dynamite!
[D]Funky time behind, roadblock up ahead
Driving fast flashes past,
Superbad, I [G]said
[D]Papa's on the run with a
Cherokee and gun
People need a hit when you're
chasing number one

[Verse 19]
It's a [D]man's man's world in America
[D]Jump back in my cell [D](hey
yeah!)
Please please please in America
Slipping into hell
"I got you"
"I'm sorry"
