[Em][F#aug][Gm][D]
[Em][F#aug][D]
[Em][F#aug][D]
[Em][F#aug]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Big told me fuck bitch[F#aug]es get money
[D]Hov tol[F#aug]d me that the money[D]
ain't a [Bm]thang[Em]
Kanye said wait [Gm]till I get
my [F#aug]money right
[D]Then you can't tell me nothin

[Verse 2]
And then you lose [Em]it all
And you back where you [F#aug]came from
[D]And now you face to face
with your day ones
The sun goes [Bm]away and the
rain comes
The codeine fades and the pain
comes
[D]You having trouble picking your face up

[Verse 3]
You not rich [Bm]if you don't got so[Em]mething
that the [Bm]world can't take
You got [D]ranks that a war can't break
You got [Bm]wealth that
the forbes can't rate
You so firm that your core
can't [D]shake
You got a smile that the poor
can't [Bm]fake
They tryna take [F#aug]your joy out your life

[Verse 4]
[D]
The good thing is you can take
the noise out [Bm]ya life
Let em hate. Never let them
[D]boys out ya lights
Play the game [Bm]and you make
a [D]toy out your life

[Verse 5]
[Em]Always in the drama
[Gm]Flexing in designer
[D]Frontin for the camera

[Verse 6]
Give this bitch a Oscar
[Em]Gotta show the fans love
[F#aug]Fixing up my posture
[D]Hungry for [Gm]approval

[Verse 7]
Eating all the lies up
[Bm]Learning it was [Gm]never bout
the [F#aug]money tho[D]ugh
Niggas really coming for your [Bm]soul
Take the status and the roll
And [F#aug]the pateq and the rolls[Bm]
And the [D]mansion and the clothes
Knowing it'll make you [Bm]fold

[Verse 8]
Nigga [Em]take it all
And I'ma [Bm]smile
When it's loud
I can [D]face it all
Stand my ground
Treat [Bm]me foul
I just shake it off
You on [F#aug]the ground
And [Bm]I'm praying that
[D]You make it off
Ain't it ironic how they [Bm]wanna see me

[Verse 9]
[D]
down
[Em]And I can only [Bm]see em when
I'm looking down
[D]We been sleeping in and cooking out
Shoot [Bm]straight like my rook [D]is out
Views great. Glad we took the route

[Verse 10]
Freedom fighters aren't looking south
[Bm]Niggas wonde[Em]r how
[F#aug]we good in droughts
Heav[D]en only knows. So many Blessings,
that I couldn't count
[Bm]Devil nested in my trees[F#aug] till
I shook em out
[D]My fire put a third degree

[Verse 11]
on people tryna put it out
[Em]You [Bm]only hurting you s[D]on
Preying on me and I'm praying
that [Bm]you grew some
Don't trip, know it's win some,
lose some
[D]All about the giveback, get some
[Bm]Do some
[Em]Per fection is o[Bm]verrated And I

[Verse 12]
[Bm]
ain't done fucking [D]up just yet
Hate my guts while [Bm]you cut that [Em]check
I left the [F#aug]slums, I ai[Bm]n't come back ye[D]t
By the beach when I come back west

[Verse 13]
Told [Em]the press, no comment
[Bm]Can we have a minute of your t[D]ime
Don't got it
Lie, cheat, [Bm]put it on the street,
no hiding
[F#aug]Niggas always co[Bm]ming for my
[D]peace. So toxic

[Verse 14]
To breach my profits
[Em]Kill and die for
[D]Money and power
I walk away when it's funny and sour
I'm a simple kinda [Bm]man, you can
Show me that you love
me with flowers
I'm dead [D]broke if you want
me for dollars

[Verse 15]
I got the look [Em]of Mandela
All [D]these years in a prison
Still I fair better
Even in the [Bm]craziest conditions
I'ma thrive still
[F#aug]Hit you with a smile[Bm] still
[D]Knowing there's a reason im alive still
