Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Sticks to my[G][A][B]
[Bsus4]mind[A][D]
[Em]I'll never win
You have [A]my [G]fri[A]ends
[Bsus4]Got[A]

[Verse 2]
a thing [Em]for [G]nickel[A][Bsus4]
[A]plated
[Em]nines [G]and p[A]ret[Bsus4]ty dimes
[A]Mac- [D]11 [A]I s[Em]queeze
like [G]lemon limes
[A]Squirt obey your thirst, fashion lines
Between beauty [D]and [Em]beast,
[G]I w[A]alk the li[Bsus4]ne
[A]Johnny Cash,
[D]I'm[Em] a real G[G][A][B][A]
[C#m]I cut [A]myself toda[D]y to see
if [Em]I still ble[G]ed
[A]Success is so sublime
Gotta [Bsus4]do that time t[A]o time so I
[Em]don't lose my mind
[G]Something [A]'bout the struggle
[Bm]so d[A]ivin[D]e
This sort of love [Em]is hard to define
When you scratch[G]ing [A]for
[Bsus4]every nic[A]kel and dime
Got me itch[D]ing [A]to [Em]do t[G]his[A]
[Bsus4]shit for [A]my mom[D][A][Em]
Do this [G]shit for [A]my town
Leave the [Em]door open hoping
[G]the[A]y kick it down
The purest form of [Em]giving is
[G]anonymous to anonym[A]ous
We gon' make it there,
I [D]promise [Em]this

[Verse 3]
Sticks to my [G]mind
I'll never win
[A]You [Bsus4]have my f[A]riends
[Em]Sometimes

[Verse 4]
I feel survivor's guilt
I [G]gave [A]some money [Bsus4]to this g[A]uy,[D][Em]
he got high as [G]hell
[Em]Now I'm [A]part of the
[B]problem [A]far as I could tell
Did I do [D]it for [A]him[Em][G][A]
or do [B]it [A]for myself
Can[D]'t lie to [A]my [Em]self
I [F#m]love my niggas more than my [G]own blood
I [A]die for my niggas and I love my
[Bsus4]cub, hope that's [A]not fucked [D]up
I got [Em]a problem with the handouts,
[G]I took [A]the man [Bsus4]route[A][C#m][A][D][Em]
I'll give an opportunity
though, that's [G]the plan now
No [A]guilt in giving clear [Bsus4]a
[A]nigga consci[D]ence out
No guilt in receiv[Em]ing,
every thing within reason
Can't see it tak[G]ing food [Em]out
[A]my little monster's mouth
[Bsus4]That'll d[C#m]rive me [A]gag[D]a[A][Em][A]
Run up in your momma's house,
two nickels, [Em]one dime
Manslaughter charges,
[G]the[A] lawyer, knocked it dow[Bm]n
[B]I'm jus[A]t trying to [C#m]find
com[A]mon ground
'Fore [Em]Mr. [G]Bela[A]fonte come
[D]and [A]cho[Em]p a nigga down[G]
[A]Mr. Day O, major fail
Re[D]spect [A]the[Em]se youngins[G] boy,
it's my time now
Hublot homie, [A]two [Bsus4]door homi[A]e
[D]You don't know [Em]all the shit
I do for [G]the homies
[A]Sticks

[Verse 5]
to [D]my [Em]mind
[F#m]I'll n[Em]ever[G] win[A][B]
You [A]have [C#m]my fri[A]ends[D][Em]

[Verse 6]
[G]Pardon [Em]my hu[A]bris,
[B]Stanley Kub[C#m]rick
With eyes wide shut,
[D]I could [Em]cook[G] up two [A]bricks
Turn nick[Bsus4]els to di[A]me,
[C#m]turn d[A]ime[D]s to quarters[Em][G]
[A]Turn wives [Bsus4]from daughters[A],
oh, I'm [D]clear [Em]as w[G]ater[Em]
[A]And just for cla[B]rity,
[Bsus4]my presen[A]ce [C#m]is charit[D]y[Em]
My flow is a gift, philanthropist
[A]Everybody 'round me rich, or will be
[D]Baby boy I prom[Em]ise you this,
[G]or kil[A]l me[C#m]
And [A]when [D]a n[Em]igga go as[G]
[A]the old[B] adage go[A]
You die rich [Em]or yo[G]u die disgrace[A]d,
so just let me [D]grow
[A]Wat[Em]ch me [G]coo[A]k,
[D]throw no [Em]looks
Like Magic [G]in his prime when
Kareem sky hooked, yeah
[A]Y'all not worthy,
sometimes [Em]I feel like
Y'all [G]don't deserve me,
[A]my flow unearthly
[D]The greatest form [Em]of giving is
anonym[G]ous [A]to [D]anony[Em]mous
So here y'all go, I promise this

[Verse 7]
[A]Sticks to my mind
[D]I'll [Em]never[A] win
[D]
You have my friends
