[Intro 1]
[Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Oh here goes another
gift for this world
This world that keeps filling my
body with [B]holes[Am]
My [C5]scars they itch and I [Am]pick my scabs
an[C5]d I [Am]grow

[Verse 2]
While they all try to cut my throat
[Am]
But god aint gonna let me
go to my grave
Without showing you what
he has made

[Verse 3]
There's a [Am]war [Bbm]out si[Bb5]de[Bbm]
[Am]There's a

[Verse 4]
war outside and
just [B]know that [Am]if I die
Know that I fought all my
life for [B]this
[Am]There's a war outside and if
[B]I should die tonight
[Am]Whether [B]it's wrong [Am]or its
right I'll be missed

[Verse 5]
There's a [Am]war outside
And when morning brings her
light we'll be his
There's a war outside
Bow your heads and close your
[Bbm]eyes[Am][Bbm]
[Am]Oh my brothers and sisters we're
trapped in this hole
But we're kept down here because
it's all about [B]control
[C5]But we're trapped together so well
[Am]stick tight and [Em]out of t[Am]he cold
And they'll reap [A5]just [Am]what they've

[Verse 7]
[Am]Seen my [Em]first body when I was a [Am]kid
I thought sleeping [Em]in streets was just
something [Am]they did[B][Am]
Then [Em]I grew older I
never [Am]grew up
I wouldn't [Em]let them take something
I didn't get enough [Am]of
I [B]put [C5]a whole life sen[B]tence
[Am]in these streets[B]
I didn't sleep a wink I had to kill to [C]eat
They [B]tried to make it so I
[Am]didn't [B]see 25
And when I [C5]did I thanked god
and [Am]then I retired

[Verse 8]
[Am]There's[Em][Am]

[Verse 9]
a war outside
[Am]
I hear all these critics talk
but I listen to none
[Am]Cuz none of them have ever been
where music comes from
And none of them have ever
stepped foot inside a slum
And none of them have ever wrapped
their hands around a gun
And squeezed till its empty and
it locks up and it's done
And feel the man on the other sides
last breath leap out his lungs
I've been do[Bbm]ing this
[Em]here since I was young
So next time you [Am]speak about me
just cut out your fucking tongue
