American Rapstar chords by Big K.R.I.T. & Joi
Verse 1
F
And they ain't all once told me
Am
you could determine the worth of a song
within 15 seconds of the playing
With complete and utter lack of the fact
F
that it takes all 3 minutes and 40 seconds of
E
a song to comprehend what I'm saying
Am
It ain't a single if it don't fly,
it ain't a hit if it don't ride
Now you couldn't tell me
the components of a smash,
but the ringtones were the all -time high
F
And a rap is only as big as a chain,
Am
E
the flashier the better
Am
F
They say that money make
E
the world go round
Am
You never lost till you lose your crown
F
And they don't love you till
Am
you're underground
E
Am
Or when you're maxing
out your bank account
F
Yeah, you do it all just to live the life
Am
Even if it means you don't live it right
F
And even if it means
Am
you don't survive the night
G
Am
But even if you do,
you won't survive the hype
Of American rappers
With a little money
Just to get a five -wheeled
woodgrain kitty
Ride around town like I never lived in it
Gun in my dash, pray I never kill with it
I'm that real with it,
got my eyes on the prize
Be a steel dude, motherfuck,
nine to five
Searchin' for a freak,
down the fuck once or twice
Wanna buy a bottle,
F
Am
but I ain't payin' my taxes
E
Am
It's no lie, I got a vision and a master plan
To hit the block and blow up like the Taliban
Or make it where my plane
never have to land
Or make it where them lames
F
Am
never stand to change
E
Am
She a Chanel, only time will tell
It's either starve or you find a skill
You either bind or you're tryin' to sell
C
Am
You either fall or you grind the rails
They say that money make
E
the world go round
Am
You never lost till you lose your crown
And they don't love you till
E
you're underground
Am
Or when you're maxing out
your bank account
Yeah, you do it all just to live the life
E
Am
Even if it means you
don't live it right
F
Am
And even if it means
you don't survive the night
But even if you do,
you won't survive the hype
So I just get a hot leave
Waiting on my mama screaming,
fuck how they feel
Dr. Jail cells and a pig down to kill
They shot Oscar Grant,
F
Am
swear he gave a n***a cheap
E
Am
Let's keep it real,
if you ain't lookin' then your eyes closed
Will I pay what I owe?
Only God knows I ain't for show,
give me strength just to change what I can
And understand the deal
between a n***a
E
Am
and the king that I am
Gotta keep your finger on the trigger
Pac died, Biggie died,
they ain't found the killers
Mama say she worried
cause I rap about the government
F
Am
And how the church can't
E
Am
double people out to struggle
But that's real though,
I just call it how it is, folk
I'm breathing for a reason,
what you here for?
They got us where the villains
do what you're for
Cause they murdered all the heroes
They say that money
E
make the world go round
Am
You're never lost till
you lose your crown
And they don't love you till
F
you're underground
Am
Or when you're maxing
out your bank account
Yeah, you do it all just to live the life
E
Am
Even if it means you
don't live it right
F
Am
And even if it means
you don't survive the night
G
Am
But even if you do,
you won't survive the hype
