Verse 1
(C major) (A minor) (A major) (A minor)
(B minor) (G major) (A minor) (A major) (Asus4)
(A major) Sometimes (C major) I feel the road to riches
are like moving pictures,
losing (A minor) vision over distance,
sacrificing for the instance,
living (G major) word for word.
(B minor) And (G major) I'm thinking about the sentence
when (A minor) the time comes, period.
There's no time to mention
what you (C major) did
and what you didn't,
who you is and who you isn't.
Are (A minor) you all what you was wishing
when you was fishing for the
Answers from (G major) your closest friend
Instead of intuition,
what's our (A minor) mission?
What are we here for?
Why do we feel more?
Helping (C major) one another,
calling total strangers our brothers
Are we (A minor) all in the same
Crayola boxes looking for color?
Some people (C major) go to bed (G major) hungry at night
with nothing to eat
I ain't (A minor) talking about Africa
right here under our feet
Right on (C major) American soil
where melting pots come to boil
People get (A minor) rich off of (A major) oil
and still I (A minor) love it
I'm loyal, I pledge (G major) it
Equal rights for one another
is what I'm manifesting
(A major) But I still have the same question
Where (A minor) have (C major) the flowers gone? (A minor) (A major)
(A minor) (G major) (A major)
(C major) (A minor)
(G major) (A major)
(A minor) I'm just (C major) philosophizing
but my thoughts aren't advertising
Can't be that sur (A minor) prising,
can't be the only one
wondering what happened to the flowers
(G major) I see so many hours
(B minor) when I look (G major) at hours
Counting (A major) less and less (A minor) flowers
These bees don't usually cower
Homogen (C major) ize and pasteurize
Milk is starting to sour
So much (A minor) for having our cake, you know
And eating it too
I mean, (G major) let's stop and think about it
Are we thinking it through?
I dream (A minor) about it
So I sing about it
Best I could do
But some (C major) times in the rhyme
When you're speaking the truth
People (A minor) start to leave
(A major) Unless they're really
(A minor) feeling the root
Fortunately, (G major) I'm speaking garlic
And you're seeing a (B minor) shoot
I'm in (A minor) the club spitting spades
And you're seeing a suit
No dia (C major) monds decor, I sung
Just speaking of you
I put my (A minor) cards up on (A major) the table
And I'm building a (A minor) house
It's (G major) a rocky foundation
But I'm working it out
somewhere between (A minor) mountains
I'm removing PCB (A major) s at the (A minor) mouth
Of (C major) a river with the people
trying to clean it all out
Meanwhile (A minor) in (A major) the hood,
they really feeling the drought
From (G major) the food desert we live in,
get your camel packs out
I say (A major) no fracking, wait,
hydro (A minor) fracking is out
I'm not (C major) political,
just spiritual from political routes
On (A minor) the bus with Rosa (Asus4) Parks,
coming up from the (A minor) south
And when I (G major) stopped to smell the flowers,
noticed something was wrong
I looked (A major) down,
and all the flowers were (A minor) gone
What happened (C major) to the flowers? (A minor) (A major) (G major) (A major)
(Asus4) (A minor) (C major)
(A minor) (A major) (A minor) (G major)
(A major)
I've (A minor) got (C major) visions and premonitions
of entering sentimental
mission (A minor) s
And rendering futuristic
tensions
These intimate (G major) im ages
emin (B minor) ently centering
On my (G major) mission on earth (A minor) since (Asus4) when
Ever (A major) since birth,
(A minor) two little (C major) birds outside
Got my doorstep singin'
sweet soliloquies
Tryna (A minor) save a thousand souls,
you know, sneakers for millipedes
I'm (G major) jokin', but seriously,
can Ciri see the seriousness
(A minor) And have empathy (A major) on our enemy?
(A minor) You know (C major) our biggest
enemy is really we
My biggest enemy (A minor) is really (A major) me
Even D is scared (A minor) of G,
while (G major) the other 23
Are just waitin' on the melody
So (A minor) they can merrily,
merrily roll their way home
I'm feel (C major) in' melancholy,
but I'm still heavily honed
So while I'm (A minor) plantin' all
(A major) these seeds,
I'm just settin' the tone
Shootin' (G major) in the dark,
somewhere in a field of unknown
But even (A minor) I can't do (A major) it alone,
so help me sing (A minor) this song
Where have (C major) the flowers gone?
