Requiem chords and lyrics - J DILLA

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[Em]I hate this beat, cuz it reminds me
of the night you took the pills.
Now you're taking risks that might take your
life & it's like: now i feel
So selfish for the drug
abuse & all the death wishes.
Didn't even get to spend [Am]the day
with you on Christmas.
[Bm]But [D]hey, that's life.
[Em]& people get separated-
Not intentionally,
but my family's torn apart [Am]& i hate it.
Life is so sacred. Love you like the sky loves the
[Bm]stars, you can [D]make[Em]
it!
[Am]Take this world,
you can hold [Bm]it in your [D]palms.
[Em]
Can't be with you everyday so i'mma
say it in a song.
I love you [Am]& i wish that i could take
[Bm]your [D]pai[Em]n away.
I think about you every night,
i think about you every day
& I don't call cuz it hurts & that's how
i deal [Am]with problems-
Act like they don't exist & the universe [Bm]will
[F#m][Bm]
[D][Em]
solve em.
& That's why i understand exactly
what you're going [Am]through.
I know you cut [Bm]hella[D]
[Em]deep, but
to sleep with the truths
That are hard to accept only make you
that [Am]stronger!
Living in denial ain't an option any longer.
[Bm]Life[F#m]
[Bm]is s[D]o am[Em]azing, hoping
one day you can see it.
Yo, i used to have your same mind
state & now i'm heated
That [Am]the world [Bm]is so cold
[D][Em]
that it turns our hearts [Am]to ice.
& I know i'm not the be[Bm]st at giving
[D]out[Em]
advice
But i gotta let you know how i'm feeling
cuz i care
& If you left before me, the pain i
couldn't bare.
Cuz you - 1 of [Am]the people
i love most on this planet
& You - 1 of the people [Bm]that i've[D]
[Em]been taking for granted.
It's sad & i'm sorry.
This was a wake up call
Not only for yourself but for [Am]the
rest of us all.
& I ain't gonna lie, i'm
scared, you got me [Bm]worried.
[D][Em]
Life passes so fast,
why we living in a hurry
For vision that's [Am]blurry
& temporary numbness?
It's no wonder we can't [Bm]grasp[D]
[Em]reality. It's fun when
The problems go away
& the depression's deterred.
But then you coming down [Am]feeling, feeling...
what's the word?
[Bm]Worthless.[F#m]
[Bm]Like[D] you[Em]'re
on the Earth with no purpose.
Like you really don't deserve this.
Hold up, let me reword this.
When i'm sober, & it's over
& i'm older, god damn it, i feel like dying.
But, under no stress, with the
[Am]coke breath, & the cold sweats,
Some[Bm]times i still [D]feel
[Em]like dying.
You gotta live life to find
your purpose.
You gotta work hard & when it comes, you gon
be like, "i deserve this! "
So keep your head high, this too shall
pass.
& In the morning [Am]when you get
up into school [Bm]& class[D]
[Em]Learn everything you can & utilize the
knowledge.
So f***n proud of you that you going
to college.
You deserve the best so work
& you'll receive it.
Anything imaginable is possible,
believe it!
So keep [Am]your [Bm]head up
[D]
[Em]cuz nobody's gonna do it for you.
Your [Am]family, we love you, accept
you, adore you.
[Bm]Always in my thoughts,
in my heart, on my mind.
Promise [D]everything's gonna get better,
you [Em]just gotta give it time.
