Verse 2
Before we (C major) came being in southern
wasn't something to claim
The fact was (D minor) n't something too
(F major) fly it was something to blame
(D minor) Smilin' (C major) and juckin' and jivin'
I was so ashamed
They gave the (D minor) dirty appar
(F major) ently appro (C major) priate name
(D minor) I wrote (C major) about a revolution
and sung from the soul
Spoke (D minor) with my spirit and (F major) mind
my ambition was blind
(D minor) Answer (C major) ing the call of God
like a child obey (F major) ing
Preaching the (D minor) very same power (F major) they
killed Martin for say (D minor) ing
Verse 3
But you (C major) can't break the mold and not
holding your breath
Thought if I (D minor) died for ya,
(F major) that would be an honorable death
(D minor) So sin (C major) cere my eyes begin to
swell up in tear
And it's clear (D minor) my music
may not do (F major) well up in here
(D minor) Oh my (C major) God being a nigga
must be a good payin' job
With all the (D minor) fringe bene (F major) fits,
ignorance is bliss
There is a (C major) time and the place
for everybody's taste
But I (D minor) know too much and I (F major) owe too much
Verse 4
See (C major) there's no way and there's no how
I'd ever (D minor) stop now, (C major) I'mma die (F major) try (C major) in',
I'mma die tryin'
(D minor) (F major) And some (D minor) times I get weak (C major)
from walking the road I'm on
(D minor) But I'mma keep on, (C major) I'mma die (F major) try (C major) in',
Verse 5
I'mma die tryin'
(D minor) (C major) (F major) So here (C major) it is,
an invitation to an open (D minor) book
A painful past my heart is still
broken (F major) look
I know you (C major) don't hate me it's not assured
that anyone appre (D minor) ciate me
See I've been having a hard time
selling my album's lately
(C major) In recent news the source couldn't find
any microphones to rate me
(D minor) Using words (F major) I could scream
an alternative to (D minor) equate me
(C major) Which is true I'm in a box with a view
would you still wanna date me?
(F major) I could be a pretty good thug but it
wouldn't compare to a (D minor) great me
Verse 6
The (C major) final cross to bear is mine
it's not a cross to share
(D minor) But isn't it ironic I still woulda bought
a cross to wear
(C major) That obviously cost to wear
but considerably (D minor) less
Than the price (F major) that it costs to care
(D minor) Now I have another (C major) loss to spare
I doubt 'em say that I can't win
(D minor) Even though I (F major) know talking
intelligent just (D minor) ain't in
(C major) You most likely to go broke
when you just can't bend
(D minor) So me and J J both gon' (F major) have to pay (D minor) bills
Verse 7
See (C major) there's no way and there's no how
I'd (D minor) ever stop now, (F major) I'mma die try (C major) in',
I'mma die tryin'
(D minor) (F major) And (C major) some (F major) times I get weak (C major)
from walking the road I'm on
But I'mma (D minor) keep on, (C major) I'mma die (F major) tryin',
(C major) I'mma die tryin' (D minor)
Listen, (F major) people still
Verse 8
(C major) standin' in line
at the world party for some soul food
(D minor) To get put back in that old mood
they say, we (C major) like the new 'lo
And we respect everything
that you trying to do 'lo
(D minor) Do what you (F major) do but just do more
that (D minor) you know
(C major) It's a catch 22 and I couldn't cry
Now (D minor) I'm under oath with (F major) them both
and I couldn't (D minor) lie
Verse 9
Cussed (C major) 'em said that I'm too
dope and I couldn't fly
But (D minor) you getting rich talkin' shit
(F major) so why shouldn't I
(C major) I'm just playing but I guess that
couldn't go without saying
(D minor) I'm just gon' ride (F major) this revolution until they stop
me where (D minor) I'm stayin'
(C major) But I ain't gotta have to lie to ya
to make it sound (F major) fly to ya
(D minor) I keep my (F major) feet on the ground
and bring the (D minor) sky to ya
Verse 10
See (C major) there's no way and there's no how
(D minor) I'd ever stop now, (C major) I'mma die tryin',

(D minor) (F major) And sometimes I get weak (C major)
from walking the road I'm on
But I'm (D minor) ma keep on, (C major) I'mma die tryin',
I'mma die try (D minor) in' (F major)
