Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]
I just need [D]y'all to try to bear with
me for [C]a minute
While I talk [Bm]about the pages
[Em]of my diary
Listen up

[Verse 2]
I remember [Em]when I got started my
[D]in tention was to win
[C]But a lot of shit changed since [Bm]then
Some old friends became enemies
[Em]in the quest of victory
But I made a [Bm]vow,
[Em]never let this shit get to me
I let it pass, so I consider
[D]that part of my history
[C]And I'm strong,
fin[Bm]ancially, physically
Men[Em]tally I'm on a whole 'nother level
[Bm]And don't for [Em]get that
I came from the ghetto
Sold a new house for my [D]moms,
that's special
I let [C]you going shopping till
[Bm]your feet get tired
Then [Em]a new Benz just
for you to ride in
When I didn't have it,
you provided
Don't be surprised that I
[D]built an enterprise
And [C]my house got a view
[Bm]of the city like [Em]a highrise
I'm just talking to my diary,

[Verse 3]
I'm just talking to my diary
[Em]When I open up my book I think
[D]about the world later
No [C]ink in the pen,
no [Bm]lines on the paper
[Am]I'm just, I'm just,
[Em]I'm just talking to my diary
I'm [Bm]just, I'm just,
[Em]I'm just talking to my diary
Sometimes when I got a lot
of [D]shit on my mind
I'm [C]just staring at the sky,
you [Bm]probably thinkin' I'm high
[Em]I'm just, I'm just,
I'm just talking to my diary
I'm [Am]just, I'm just,
[Em]I'm just talking to my diary

[Verse 4]
Now [Em]puff- puff- pass got a nigga
having flashbacks
I remember how it used to be
Now my money like NASDAQ, my checks
you can cash that
[Am]I remember how [Em]it used to be

[Verse 5]
I used to be [Em]a starving artist so I[D]
would never starve an artist
[C]This is my passion,
[Bm]it's where my heart is
It gets the [Em]hardest when I think
about the dearly departed
Like the nigga I started with
I know Eazy can see me now,
looking down [D]through the clouds
And [C]regardless,
I know my nigga [Bm]still proud
[Em]It's been [Bm]a while since we s[Em]poke
but you still my folks
We used to sit back, laugh and joke
Now I remember when we used
to do all- night[D]ers
You in the booth and [C]Cube
in the corner [Bm]writing
Where Ren [Am]at? Shout out
to [Em]my nigga Yella
Damn, I miss [Bm]that
[Em]Shit, a nigga having flashbacks
When I open up my book I think [D]about the world later

[Verse 6]
[C]No
ink in the pen, no [Bm]lines on the paper
I'm just, I'm just,
[Em]I'm just talking to my diary
I'm [Bm]just, I'm just,
[Em]I'm just talking to my diary
Sometimes when I got a lot
of [D]shit on my mind
I'm [C]just staring at the sky,
you [Bm]probably thinkin' I'm high
I'm just, I'm just,
[Em]I'm just talking to my diary
I'm [Bm]just, I'm just, [Em]I'm just talking to my diary
