[Verse 1]
It's like you're testing me now [Am]This my
testimony,
look I got that recipe now
Keep that good book on the dash
with that weaponry out
Ain't no mo' rules in this game
plus no referees out
All that [D]stressing,
it taught me lessons
Caught blessings, went back to stressin'
And [F]that moment when death
is present
Heavy praying and asking questions
[Am]I had no answers so I had
to bottle up that aggression
Load up them hollows and I had
to follow in my direction
Don't know where I'm headed I can't
look back though there's [G]nothing there
[Am]But backstabbers, snakes that slither,
[D]de cisions when [Am]nothing's fair
Keeping my faith in all,
even if they come take it all
Stand on my ground,
I was born to fight so I'm taking [D]off
Me and my champs on a mis[G]sion,
work with [F]the baddest intention
Sharp as a scalpel incision
Gotta sur[Am]vive these condition,
vengeance is like a tradition
If you practice what you're preaching
might just get what you wish

[Verse 2]
Never [D]thought it would be a easy,
[G]I hope we un[F]derstand that
Gotta [Am]earn it when you see me,
I hope we understand that
I look up at [D]these tennis shoes
over [F]the wire
I'm looking at [Am]these tennis
shoes over the wire
But no change coming
Now we have to [Em]get whatever that w[Am]e after

[Verse 3]
See past the regular [G]shit
that we mas[D]ter
Learn to [Am]survive through love
and Jezebels and street pastors
Live as free as we can cause Hell
on Earth is being [E]recaptured
[Am]I'm caught in this ghetto rapture,
spirit detached
I'm smoking backwoods looking for
greener pastures
Hashtag we bastards,
from money change to snowflakes
The body found, a cold case,
we making it out from no place
[D]Now can you walk in these shoes
with no lace
Or push [F]that S5- 50 on shoes
with no plates? I [Am]don't think so
Shit is insufficient when you think slow
That's why I keep one foot in the
game like a flamingo
But here's the thing though,
picking my spots yelling, "bingo"
Post it with the work,
501's with the peacoat
This ain't no New Jack City
and I ain't Nino
Wondering if change gone come,
but we gone see though

[Verse 4]
Never [D]thought it would be a easy,
I hope we un[F]derstand that
Gotta [Am]earn it when you see me,
I hope we understand that
I look up at [D]these tennis shoes
over [F]the wire
I'm looking at [Am]these tennis
shoes over the wire
But no change coming
Never [D]thought it would be a easy,
[G]I hope we under[F]stand that
Gotta [Am]earn it when you see me,
I hope we understand that
I look up at [D]these tennis shoes
over [F]the wire
I'm looking at [Am]these tennis
shoes over the wire

[Outro 1]
But no change coming
