[Verse 1]
This town's so [F]hype it's [G]got soul
As a [F]Philly cat
[Bb]I'm [F]with the roll
And the swing of my things
How they [G]work like clockwork
Tick [Bb]tock tick [F]tock
Times aways lurking in your head
Got to [G]go to work and get fed
That man [F]didn't eat but he goes to sleep
Gets up [C]at dawn [G]not to see the sunrise
But because it's [F]too damn
cold outside
Underneath the bridge they
[G]pump the city's bilge
[C]Into the [Bb]alley [F]they sweet
the city's filth
The flowers [C]wilt [G]the flowers wilt
Don't [F]tell me about no game
Cause that is a man
And his [G]family
Revolution family
[Bb]Look at the [F]family
Dig the family
They're living the [G]wrong way
Can't get nothing
[Bb]Don't get [F]nothing all
they wanted was
Something like [G]a job, mercy mercy
But its [Bb]robbed, [F]mercy mercy
And there's [C]so many [G]street side
Beggars and disabled [F]veterans
Glass-eyed and and peddling
Drunk and just [C]meddling
So [G]you conclude it's their fault
They like the [F]street they must
like the asphalt
But that is man woman
and [G]children
The system has [F]stalled
shelter's home
That's not what I call it
I call it [G]bad health
Some say [F]help themselves
Yo if you you gots it
[C]Everyone hundred [G]people a
[C]dollar [F]in change
[C]Everyone hundred people a [F]dollar
[C]in change[G]
[Bb][F][C][G]

[F][Bb]
[Ab][F][F#]
You know [C]it's rough,
had enough fo holding a
[G]Cup full of spare [C]change
The [Bb]doctor dia[F]gnosed me as a
Dome full of bad brains
[C]So, toe to toe with em[G]ployers
Cause they're [C]telling me no
[Bb]Hooked on prescription drugs[F]
So I stay broke, I'd run [G]away
But you can't run [C]away from
Your[Bb]self or [F]your health so
I deal with the cards that I'm dealt
[C]Tweet-a-leet-leet
This This This This [G]morning
bird [C]sounding sweet
[F]Though I sleep on the streets
I have a feeling I'm free
[C]From so [G]ciety's han[C]d picked
hy[Bb]pocrisy
[F]Mercy mercy don't give a damn [C]for me
[G]Mercy mercy now [C]what am
I going [Bb]to eat
[F]Peek through the [A]windows
of the [G]restaurant
[F]People eating [G]caviar fifth bucks on lunch
A [Bb]hand-me-down meal
meal
meal
Full of [F]God knows what
Put it away [G]in my gut
Quick and then I [C]wonder
Why [Bb]I'm sick, brick [F]for brick
I know the city like my [C]hand print
[G]Just a pit in the gutter
Of a [Bb]skid-row ditch
ditch
[F]But I'll survive the pain
Let me know I'm alive
[G]But I still fee[Bb]l tha[F]t[Am][C]

Check my [C]beat dig they rhythm
[F]Me belly full but me hungry so I fill it
Once I start [C]gaining taxes start [F]taking
Cause the governments
perfected funk [Bb]faking
[F]Breaking me [C]down [G]striking me down
What goes around [Bb]comes around [F]but
I keep rising seeing through the [C]lies and
[G]The surprise comes when I see mysel[Bb]f
The music I [F]felt
I'm on
[C]This ain't [G]liv[Bb]ing[F]
[C][G][Bb][F]
[C]This ain't [G]liv[Bb]ing
[F]Oh no
