[Verse 1]
[Am]Hey,
I'm just a [F]nigga [Am]until I fill [F]my pocke[E]ts
[C]And the[Am]n I'm Mr. Nig[F]ga,
[Am]they follow me while shopp[E]in'
[C]I fee[Am]l like Mick and Ric[F]hards,
[Am]they feel like Muddy Water[C]s
[Am]So tell me what's the diff[F]erence,
[Am]so tell me what'[F]s the diff[E]erence?
[F]My mom[Am]ma was a Chr[F]istian,
[Am]Crip walkin' on bl[F]ue- wate[E]rs
[C]Was fad[Am]in' up in Dav[F]is,
[Am]then walkin' back to Palme[E]r
[C]A f[Am]ro like Huey par[F]tner,
[Am]Auntie Angie had them [C]choppers
[Bb]So tell [Am]me what's the diff[F]erence,
[Am]so tell me what'[F]s the diff[E]erence?
[Am]I feel like "Fuck Versace"[F],
[Am]they rapin' nigga's pock[E]ets
[C]And we [Am]don't get acknowledge[F]d,
[Am]just thank me for the [E]profit
[C]A pro[Am]phet just like Mos[F]es,
[Am]if Moses look like Shaka
Zulu, my [F].44 loaded,
[Am]I'm aimin' at Nirvana[E]
[C]My bit[Am]ch look like Mad[F]onna,[Am]
they starin' at Katana
Waiter still ain't brought [F]the chopstick[Am]s,
should have brought the [F]chopper
[Am]Uber driver in the [F]cock[Am]pit
look like Jeffrey Dahmer
But he lookin' at me [F]crazy [Am]when
we pull up to the projects

[Verse 2]
See, this [Am]weight is on my shoulders,
pray Jehovah lift me [E]up
And my [Am]pain is never over,
pills and potions fix [E]me up
I just [Am]want to live it up,
can a motherfucker [E]breathe?[Am]
Life ain't always what it seems,
so [C#m]please just lift [Am]me up
Lift [F]me up, [Am]lift me up, [F]lift me up,
[C]lift me [Am]up, lift me [F]up

Lift me up, lift me up, lift me [F]up,
[Am]lift me up, lift [F]me up

[Verse 3]
[Am]We love our neig[F]hborhood[Am],
so all my [F]brothers [E]bang the [C]hood
I [Am]never vote for [F]presid[Am]ents,
the presidents that [E]changed the [C]hood
Is [Am]dead and green, was [F]stand[Am]in' on
this mezzanine in [C]Paris, [Am]France
Finna spaz '[F]cause most my [Am]homies
never [F]finna [E]get this [C]chance
[Am]All these white folks [F]chanting w[Am]hen I
asked [F]'em where my [E]niggas [F]at?
[Am]Goin' crazy, [F]got me [Am]goin' crazy,
I can't [E]get wit' [C]that
[Am]Wonder if they [F]know,
I [Am]know they won't go where we [C]kick it [Am]at?
Ho, this shit [F]ain't [Am]Gryffindor, we really kill[F]in',
[E]kickin' [F]doors
[Am]Fight between my [F]conscious,
[Am]and the skin that's on my body[E]
[F]Man, I [Am]need to fight the [F]power,
[Am]but I need that new Ferr[E]ari
[Am]Man, I breathe in, bleed this, [F]Poppy [Am]Street
I shot them guns 'cause talk is cheap
Bow your head and [F]pray, [Am]okay,
now walk wit' [E]me

[Verse 4]
See, this [E]weight is [Am]on my shoulders,
pray Jehovah lift me [E]up
And my pain is [Am]never over,
pills and potions fix me [E]up
I just [Am]want to live it up,
can a motherfucker [E]breathe?
(Can a motherfuck[Am]er
breathe?)
Life ain't always what it seems,
so please just lift me up
