So I tried, nigga [C]had to swallow [Am]his pride
But [E]look in[Am]to my eyes,

Before I [Am]roll the dice
A nigga don't want [C]to shoot [Am]craps,
'cause it [C]ain't [E]all fun and games
[Am]When you tryin' to [C]get

[Verse 9]
Who am I when it's do [E]or die
You can see a man's soul through
the human [Am]eye
Can't spend [C]all your lifetime
gettin' [E]high
'Cause [Am]you and I got to [C]do,
for [Am]you and I
Actin' wild [C]as a juvenile
[E]Now my whole life de[Am]pends
on the outcome of a trial
[C]Wait- pow; these [Am]people
ain't playin' [E]now
Got to [Am]bring 85 percent of the time now
Fuck that, [C]rather roll with the ruff [Am]pack
In the jet black, [E]listen[Am]in' to ruff rap
See it's quite simple,
[C]you bit[Am]ches ass nig[C]gas don[E]'t know
[Am]What I've been through,
the weather's presidential
[C]The warfare's mental,
[E]I sell my [Am]soul [C]to the [Am]lord
For the perfect instrumental
And the number [C]two pencil
And [E]all the hustle [Am]found in chromosomes
