Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][Bm][Em]
[D][Am][G#m][D][Em]
[Bm][D][Em]

[Verse 1]
Why so [Em]sad?
Walking around [D]with [Em]them
blue [B]faces[Em]
She said I'm down on my luck
And it's [Am]something I got[D]ta have
[B]Blue fac[Em]es
[G#m]I hit the bank[Am] today and[D]
told them color me bad
Blue [Em]faces
Get that new money,
and it's breaking me down honey

[Verse 2]
Two tears in the bucket I cry with [Em]you
But [Am]I could never [Em]lie with you
I could never afford not to afford
I could never put my [Am]plans
to the [B]side with [Em]you
I could never see a [Am]red light
[G#m]Like a deer with a headlight
I freeze [D]up when I re-up
[Em]See See I barely have patience
And you're relating
Only the [B]moment to complete us
[Em]Why you hate to work for it?
The reason I never went [G#m]to work for it
[B]See a nine to five was[Em] so jive turkey
But when Thanksgiving came
that check didn't hurt me
You [Am]plead the fifth
I read the fifth amend[G#m]ment
We [Em]both criminals with bad intentions
They say time heals all
But if I can shortcut
My suc[B]cess, Cor[Em]vettes by tomorrow

[Verse 3]
Why so [Em]sad?
Walking around [D]with [Em]them blue faces
She said I'm down on my luck
And it's [Am]something I got[D]ta have
Blue [Am]faces
[G#m]I hit the bank today and
told them color me bad
[D]Blue fac[Em]es
Get that new money,
and it's breaking me down honey

[Verse 4]
My home girl got a credit card [Em]scam
She got a [G#m]scholarship to [B]college
but she don't give a damn
Intuition [Em]she got a broke bitch wishin'
She tell me [G#m]this on the p[B]hone
with the noodles in the pan
I [Am]know you, wo[G#m]man,
I console you, woman
You [Am]feel like the [D]universe
owes you, wo[Em]man
Oh the anticipation,
of hoping you could make it
Bitches don't [B]prosper
chasing edu[Em]cation
But you're talented, and can't handle it
[Am]And your[G#m] homeg[B]irls can't be
[Em]your manager
365 times four, plus more
If yan't get it [B]right, tell me,
[Bm]do you got the [D]stamina?
But shit, [Am]ain't no money like fast money
[D]Even today I'm considered
a crash [Em]dummy
A rapper chasing stardom,
how can I fast [G#m]forward?
My [B]accolades better than [Em]all them

[Verse 5]
Why so [Em]sad?
Walking around [D]with [Em]them blue faces
She said I'm down on my luck
And it's [Am]something I got[D]ta have
Blue [Em]faces
[G#m]I hit the bank today and
told them color [D]me bad
Blue [Em]faces
Get that new money,
and it's breaking me down honey

[Verse 6]
I wrote this song looking [Em]at
a broke home [B]baby[G#m][B]
[Em]You know the poverty stricken the little
broke boy [B]and babies[Em]
Somebody [Am]yell, "Kendrick American,
they sho' [D]is crazy"
And I said, [Em]"Why?"
Then he looked me in the [G#m]eye, a[Em]nd said,
"Nigga you fucked up"
You're [Em]banking on good luck,
you wishing for miracles
You [Am]never been through [Em]shit,
you're crying hysterical
You settle for everything,
complain about everything
You [G#m]say you sold cr[Em]ack,
my [G#m]world amphet[B]amine
Your [G#m]projects ain't shit,
I live in a hut bitch
I'm living to keep [D]warm, you living [Em]to pay rent
I paid my way through, praying to Allah
You played your way through,
by [B]living in sci-fi
[G#m]Bullshitting yourself,
you [Am]talking to strangers
[D]Same thing goes for the [Em]ones
you came [Am]with
When y'all came [G#m]on the
boat [D]looking [Am]for hope
And all you can say is that you're
[B]looking [G]for dope
[D]These days [B]ain't no compromise
And your pain ain't mines [F#]half the time
[Em]A bran[F#]d new excuse ain't shit [B]to me
[Am]Bitch I made my move[D]s,
with shackled feet
[Em]Cape Town

[Verse 7]
In today's day [Em]and age we practice the self
pity of taking the easy [G#m]way ou[B]t
You wait on [G#m]them, him and her
But [D]when a blessing takes long,
that's when [Em]you go wrong
You selfish [Em]motherfucker

[Verse 8]
Why so [Em]sad?
Walking around [D]with [Em]them blue faces
She said I'm down on my luck
And it's [Am]something I got[D]ta have
Blue [Em]faces
[G#m]I hit the bank today and
told them color me bad
[D]Blue fac[Em]es
Get that new money,
and it's breaking me down [Em]honey[G#m][Em][G#m][Em]
Pimp pimp (hooray)
