[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
You'se [Am]a baffoon, caught
up in your own cocoon
[Gsus4]Leave your head rest[Am] maroon
Drunk heavy in the [Gsus4]side stre[Am]et saloon
Til' I figured it out,
[Gsus4]to the 3rd degre[Am]e
I'm the milli in the meter
[Gsus4]I'm the gram [F]up in th[Am]e kilo
I'm the wave up in the [Gsus4]ocean
The [Am]C up in the coast and
The B up in the Boston
So what you looking for
or looking at [Gsus4]now
[F]You ain[Am]'t got what you gotta shake
[Gsus4]Caught it on the si[Am]dewalk fake
I gets down, [Gsus4]further digging d[Am]own
Hurt for the red dirt at the
[Gsus4]same time[Am]
Hit rewind if your ass didn't
[Gsus4]hear me clea[Am]r
Hit re[G]wind if your [Am]ass
didn't hear me clear

[Verse 2]
My old hood could use a [Am]little rebuilding
A better place for these ghetto children
I ain't gonna let 'em take
the O out my [Gsus4]JOY
Be[Am]fore you can rebuild,
you've got to destroy
And these walls gonna come
tumbling down
These walls gonna come
tumbling down
[Gsus4]Well I re

[Verse 3]
[Am]member when,
I was slanging nothing but [Gsus4]weed
[Am]I ain't round here that can't
tell you about me
Fortunately I done changed
the way I used to be
When so many didn't have
an alternative to see
Music saved my life and now I'll
never for[Gsus4]get it[F]
[Am]Thats why I try to glorify God with it
But it still remains, its in my veins
I [Gsus4]know that I'ma sin,[Am]
[Em]I just hope he'll forgive [Am]me again
Okay, I'm right and wrong
in the same day
And it's always gonna be someone
who'll see it the same way
And if I react, who was that guy to blame,
[Gsus4]hey
[Am]You fuck with me,
I fuck with you thats how the game played
I had a choice to let it go,
but if you don't let it go
Then I ain't got no choice no more
Two lives gone to waste,
one dead and the other [Gsus4]caught a ca[F]se
[Am]With 50 years to face
I'm raising ghosts, I'm rebuilding

[Verse 4]
My old hood could use a [Am]little rebuilding
A better place for these ghetto children
I ain't gonna let 'em take
the O out my JOY
Before you can rebuild,
you've got to destroy
And these walls gonna come
tumbling down
These walls gonna come tumbling down
I'm [F]so tired

[Verse 5]
[Am]of my people not knowing
what we do[G]ing to ourselves
[Am]And we blame it on them,
but [G]we stuck in [Am]the same frame
Trapped inside a mental
instru[G]mental bond
[Am]Hoping [Em]to run, but theres a gun,
[Am]what could you really do
Everybody new kicking the old
[Gsus4]shit to the [F]floor
[Am]But now its more shit, crooked, shady,
[Gsus4]talking '[F]bout the p[Am]resident
He's fucking other ladies,
blowing [Gsus4]up spots [Am]we supposed to hit
And casually they spreading billions [F]to
the [Am]little children overseas
Niggas moving [F]G's,
I'm [Am]on my knees praying god please
A nigga just wanna eat and sleep
With my gun in my [F]own [Am]little [Em]world
and raise my [Am]little kids
Doing the best I can nigga

[Verse 6]
Shit, look who [F]talking now
You gots'ta crawl be[Am]fore you walk,
[Am]Ohh don't follow to clos[F]e
Where I think you [Am]might stop
We all can see [F]that the grass [Am]is the same
color on the other side of the fence
Give thanks, people thank alarm clocks,
[F]wake 'em up
[Am]Every morning brother I gotta
stay prayed up
[Gsus4]Cause the pis[F]tol ain[Am]'t gonna save
my life when it's time to go
[Gsus4]Its just in c[F]ase I ge[Am]t
a chance to retaliate
I [Gsus4]used ain'[F]t have noth[Am]ing
positive to say
Doing my little [F]five [Am]minutes of fame
Who done forget from
which [Gsus4]they came[F]
Ac[Am]knowledge his name, Lord,
you've been so [Gsus4]good to me
[Am]Better than I've been to myself
Keep us in good health
The white [F]mans food [Am]makes
my stomach upchuck
But I [F]gots'ta be [Am]strong,
to defeat my [Gsus4]enemies
[F]For [Am]the [Em]kill,
[Am]MAC's in your side
Judging buildings,
they can't be no playgrounds for these childrens

[Verse 7]
My old [Am]hood [F]could use [Am]a
little rebuilding
A better place for these
ghetto children
I ain't gonna let 'em
take the O out my JOY
Before you can rebuild,
you've got to destroy
And these walls gonna come
tumbling down
These walls gonna [F]come [Am]tumbling down
