Verse 1
So I was in (G major) this band
called The Last Wish in high school.
(G minor) And, uh, we (E major) were playing this show
(E minor) an d after the show I asked the band,
hey, do you (E major) mind if I play this (G major) song?
(F major) An d, uh, (F sharp minor) they were (F major) like, okay.
And so I (G major) got up and I (F sharp minor) played this song
(E minor) an d, uh... (F sharp major) (G major) (G minor)
(G major) After the (F sharp minor) show, the (G major) next day,
(E minor) the parents of the band,
(G major) they called (E minor) a par (F major) ent meeting. (G major)
Hey, I was thinking, you know,
that we're (G major) going to get signed
and shit, you know, like the parents were going
to put all their money together.
The meeting was about
how we're worried about the lead singer.
(B flat major) So, me and my (G major) crew,
I mean, me and mom and (G major) dad,
We rolled up, three deep,
we (B flat major) walked in (B minor) this meeting, (G major) slow motion,
we (B minor) heard, we sat, we (G major) listened
and they didn't approve of what I was
singing about.
So,
they didn't want to be represented that (F sharp minor) way,
so (F major) I (G major) remember (F sharp minor) stand ing up,
real slow -like, (G major)
(E major) and I said, let's (G major) bounce.
I'm 16 (A minor) years old,
you know. (G major) I'm like, let's bounce.
My mom (B flat major) gets up,
knocks over the lamp,
slow motion, fuck (B minor) your lamp,
(G major) boom. (F sharp minor) (G major)
Waka Flocka's playing in the background,
you know, (C major) dun -dun -dun -dun,
dun (G major) -dun -dun -dun, dun -dun -dun -dun.
(C major) Nah, actually, didn't go down that way.
It was (G major) more like, (A major) um, mom, dad,
(A minor) I (G major) think it's time to go. (G major)
And (G major) yeah, I said I'm just going to
(F major) go ahead and quit the band,
(E major) and (F major) I took my songs with me.
But on the way home that night,
we were, that's all good.
on the way home that night
we were driving
I thought to my (F major) self you know (E flat major) that's
(F major) the last time
I'm ever gonna let anybody tell me what I can and cannot say in a song
so we got home and my mom wasn't at this show
that they're talking about so she
She goes, so let me hear this song.
