Verse 1
(A minor) Don't you hate it when your
plans are stated
and you're feeling later
than you're
Watch him (F major) fall apart
right in front of your eye (E major) s
Right up under your (A minor) nose,
out from under your feet
Look there the rug goes,
(F major) it all happened so (E major) fast
He was having a (A minor) blast,
can't believe he was
He fell flat on your (F major) as s
He thought he had (E major) it all figured out
An (A minor) d finally realized what
the game was (D major) about
An (E flat major) d how to formulate the
(D major) most direct route
Showed (B flat major) you math, checked your work
to re (A minor) move all doubt
(F major) But see you miscalculated
The (E major) self -proclaimed greatest
is (A minor) often overrated
It's simple (F major) common sense
(E flat major) to claim dominance
(D major) But overconfidence,
(B flat major) it doesn't compensate (A minor) for lack (F major) of confidence
(C major) Yup, like, remember Richie
(E flat major) Rich's dog, Dollar?
He (F sharp major) used to daydream about
the (A major) fame and the (A minor) glory
He (C major) gets so caught up
in hear (E flat major) ing the crowd holler
But when crunch time came,
(A minor) it was a whole nother (D major) story
Or (F major) , for those that never
dug (E major) the cartoons
Sometimes (A minor) the school hall
resembled a Wild West saloon
(F major) You know them (E flat major) goons poppin' shit
about (D major) settling beef on hand (B flat major) skills
Then they surrender their teeth (A minor)
Yup, cause when it (F major) all (E major) goes (A minor) down
had some great expectations
But (E flat major) they late and dollars (D major) short
Preparations (B flat major) made for
weak found (A minor) ations
(E major) When it (F major) all goes (E major) (A major) down
You'll be going down right along with it
(E flat major) Ain't you heard to watch (D major) out
for the quiet ones?
(B flat major) They'll be the last ones
(E major) standing when the riot's done
Have you ever tried
(F major) Climbing Jacob's Ladder?
Looking California
Feeling (E major) Minnesota
(C major) Thinking Occam's (D major) Razor's
cutting Murphy's Law
(A minor) Catching 22 L's like (A major) you never saw
(E major) He's like that brand new rap (F major) per
with instant mass appeal
He caught a break with that
(E major) big major (A minor) record deal
(E major) Acting like the rest is already history
But (G major) the release date remains a mystery
So (F major) you can expect the (E major) best
But if you ain't pre (A minor) pared
for the worst
You can expect the (F major) best
When you (E flat major) predict a piece of cake
(D major) Expect a test
You brought (B flat major) a knife to a gunfight
(A minor) Protect your (F major) chest
Put your vest to see through
Your (E major) heart pumps Kool -Aid
(A minor) And what's worse,
the only one that drank it was (F major) you
Now (E flat major) you're screaming, let's do this
(D major) Supported by your own hubris
(B flat major) That's why you're hanging
with (A minor) Anubis
Cause (F major) when it all goes (E major) (A minor) down
That's when it (E flat major) all (D major) goes (B flat major) down
When (D minor) it (F major) all goes (E major) (A minor) down
That's when it (E flat major) all goes (D major) (B flat major) down
(A minor) Yeah, (D minor) (C major) jet setters,
go (E flat major) -getters, trim -setters
Big (F sharp major) dreamers with ven (A minor) dettas
Go (A major) ahead and dream (C major) big,
we're playing better
And (E flat major) keep quiet about your
damn (F major) cheddar
Cause a (G major) cheese grin and (A minor) shine
don't always mean (F major) win
nin' time (C major) time,
that was her brother named (D major) Jail,
keep him anonymous
Yeah, (E major) for namesake, forsake,
this is too ominous
(C major) He bragged to his girl
about (D major) his physical prominence
Ha, (F major) when economical was
more synonymous
See, (C major) long story short
(D major) Literally
Was (E major) she upset? Considerably
And she told people
(G major) Now his box office smash has no sequel
(F major) Like that security guard
(E major) Yeah, what the brother say?
(A minor) You want it to be one way
But it's the (F major) other way
Cause he (E flat major) made the same mistake
(D major) politicians had
(B flat major) Talkin' all that jazz, (E major)
somethin' like that
(F major) Actual fact, the (E major) Craven Dog barks
about (A minor) bit in' big dogs
don't wait for the (F major) bite back
(E flat major) Lesson learned and the (D major) truth hurts
Now you (B flat major) cry a humble pie
for your (E major) just deserts
(D major) Cause when it (F major) all goes (E major) (A minor) down
You can have the great expectations
But (E flat major) they late and dollars (D major) short
Preparations (B flat major) make for
weak founda (A minor) tions
When (E major) it (F major) all goes (E major) (A minor) down
Just never go according to plan
(E flat major) When you talk big (D major) like you run things
but (B flat major) your mouth is the only thing you (E major) actually ran (F major) (E major) (A minor) (C major)
(E flat major) (D major) (B flat major) (E major)
(A minor) (F major) (E major) (A minor)
(F major) (E major)
(A minor) (D minor) (G minor)
(A minor) Hey, man, you know that song (D major) you got about (D minor) the, uh,
the girl?
(G minor) Yeah, the me and you.
Yeah, well,
I've been meaning to talk to you (A minor) about
What, you don't like it?
Nah, nah, the (D major) song is dope.
(G major) It's just, uh, you know,
I don't know where
y 'all at (A minor) right now.
(A major) Oh, it's mixed.
Hold be (D major) fore you and got serious,
you (G major) know, me and her used to, uh...
Hey, (A minor) yo!
Oh, word.
Wait, not sister singing the hook?
(D major) Oh, nah, not our niece.
Nah, (D minor) nah, the girl he's talking
about in the (A major) verse.
You serious, (A minor) man?
Oh, oh, oh, huh?
And you (D minor) telling me this now?
Yeah, we used to smash, too.
