[Verse 1]
[Em]They [D]say [C]what is is what was,
but what was could never [G]be[C]
Ain't nothin' to wonder this [E]on
[G]Y 'all ain't doin' nothin'
[C]but some shit I already did
[Em]Let tell you where you goin'[G]
[C]Y 'all
[F]Said I'm [E]not gon' say [G]you, y 'all,
[Dm]I'm gon' say [G]we
Sometime [C]I sit and think about
it, y how numb could we be?
How could [E]it go so far?
How'd it [D]get so funky?
[G]That we cou[C]ld walk a mile and put
some silver porch monkey
That we could break [G]a barrier
[D]without one [G]key
Then turn [C]around and try
to imitate a mob flunky
Not to[E]gether, y 'all
And most [D]of us have forgot[G]ten
Those at [C]the top don't want nothing to
do with those at the bottom
And that's [E]bad when you
[C]put a price [D]tag on [G]sad
Had aspir[C]ations of a kingdom,
but the plan's gone bad
And every man's gone mad
I'm feeling so de[G]feated,
wasting [C]so much time
Chasing what I never needed
till [E]I heard an echo
Let [D]go, you'll be [G]richer when
you [C]stop chasing crumbs
Cause the [D]kicks are big,
[G]the picture got [E]too many pennies in our hands
[D]To hold the dollars,
[G]got too man[C]y problems in [G]the world to [C]kill the scholars
Said I'm [E]so numb,
I really couldn't [D]care in the [G]en d
That I'm [C]so dumb, I plied against myself,
never depended
On [E]no one, sometime I need
[D]to pray I find [G]a way
But I'm [C]so numb,
and I'm so dumb, and I'm [E]so lost
I never thought to [G]put it on a scale,
but my [C]soul cost
For crime I got no money for my bail,
except for [E]no cause
Sometime I need [D]to pray I find [G]a way
But I'm [C]so numb,
and I'm so dumb
Sometimes I'm sitting at [D]the window
and the world that I [G]see
Makes [C]me ask myself the question,
yo, how numb could we be?
We're all [E]descending of the people that
[D]they chose to make [C]slaves nowadays
They pay my people money
not to make waves
Now that's [E]the house, nigga,
so glad we're [D]not in the field
[G]We glor[C]ify instead of trying
to destroy and rebuild
How many [E]hopes have we killed by
doing [D]nothing at all?
Or planting [C]seeds to succeed by
either drugs or basketball
Or [E]worse, that [Em]a rapper
laying [D]your life on the [G]top
I listen [C]to the radio, and yo,
[D]that ain't hip [C]-hop
So [E]numb, to make it big
is [D]the way that I [G]chose
So I [C]could rip off all the children
for my sneakers and clothes
I thought we'd lower the [D]prices,
not give companies [G]the license
To [C]divide and conquer us with
the modern -day devices
We [E]take what's priceless,
with hope for [D]personal wealth
[G]Turning [C]life into a struggle for life itself
Can you feel
Said I'm [E]so numb
I really couldn't [D]care in the [G]en d
That I'm [C]so dumb
I plied against myself, never depended
On [E]no one
Sometime I need [D]to pray I find [G]a way,
but I'm
[C]So numb
And I'm
So dumb
And I'm [E]so lost,
[Em]I never thought [G]to put it on a scale
But my [C]soul cost,
the crime I got no money for my bail
Except for [E]no cause,
sometime I need [D]to pray I find [G]a way
But I'm [C]so numb, and I'm so dumb,
said it's [E]so hard
[C]I wonder if [D]the world could feel [G]my pain,
we been [C]so scarred
We close our eyes and breathe the novocaine,
I get [E]so numb
I [Em]wonder where [D]this road is taking [G]me,
has the [C]world mistaken me
And it's gone, forsaken me,
said it's deep down
In[D]side of me, I know we can [G]prevail,
it's a [C]sweet sound
Though most of mine wind up
dead or in jail
Cause we don't do what we could,
cause we can't do what [G]we should
We've been [C]hoodwinked,
I guess that's why we reppin' the hood
Although [E]it don't rep us,
unless [D]it's all without [G]a care in the [C]hood
Your only thought's to get the fuck out of there,
and show [E]your children a change
Sometime [D]you give it your [G]all,
to lose [C]your way the day you say that I be better than y 'all
So we're [E]numb, of all the power we [D]possess,
uni[G]fied, eyes [C]closed
Like the problems of the world blew aside
So [E]we're numb from all the ice,
push[Dm]ing a newer ride
[G]And the[C] artery we cut, we died, suicide
Said I'm [E]so numb,
I really couldn't [D]care in the [G]en d
That I'm [C]so dumb I plied against myself,
never depended
On [E]no one
Sometime I need [D]to pray I find
[G]a way but I'm
[C]So numb
And I'm so dumb
And I'm [E]so lost I never thought
[G]to put it on a scale
But my [C]soul cost
The crime, I got no money for my bail
Step at [E]no cost
Sometime I need [D]to pray I find
[G]a way but I'm
[C]So numb
And I'm so dumb
Said I'm [E]so numb I really couldn't
[D]care in the [G]en d
That I'm [C]so dumb I plied against myself,
never depended
On [E]no one
Sometime I need [D]to pray I find
[G]a way but I'm
[C]so numb, and I'm so dumb,
and I'm [E]so lost
I never thought to [G]put it on a scale,
my [C]soul cost
For crime, I got no money for my bail,
except for [E]no cost
Sometime I need to pray I find [G]a way,
but I'm [C]so numb, and I'm so dumb
