Verse 1
G
Gm
It's us, find power
Live life, mind power
G
It's us, find power
Live life, mind power
Yo, fuck anybody I might alarm
Life is a tour, I sit and ride along
A
Taking some notes and then
I write the song
D
I'm staring down the road
my life has gone
Gm
G
Is this where I belong?
Gm
Is it wrong to not believe
in right and wrong?
C
My mental state is fucking me up
And I cried a pond while asking you
for some answers
G
But we don't have that type of bond
C
That my desires gone with the way
that I've been living lately
G
If I died right now,
C
Gm
you'd turn the fire on
G
Sick of this bullshit,
C
G
niggas call me a sell- out
Gm
Cause I hopped on Christianity so strongly
G
then I fell out
C
Now I'm avoiding questions like a scared
G
dog with his tail down
C
Feeling so damn humiliated because
G
they looking at me like I'm
hellbound
What story should I tell now? I'll just
expose the truth
I'm so close to the fucking edge, I should
be close to you
A
But who the fuck are You?
You never showed the proof
And I'm only fucking human yo, what
D
am I supposed to do?
There's way too many different
G
religions with vivid descriptions
Begging all fucking men and women to listen
I can't even beat my dick without
getting convicted
Gm
These ain't wicked decisions, I
C
got different intentions
I been itching to get it,
I've been given assistance
But the whole fucking system is twisted
G
Now I'm dealing with this backlash
D
because Marcus isn't a Christian
G
And I've been told that my
C
sinful life is an addiction
G
But I can't buy it, it's
D
just too hard to stand beside it
G
I need an answer and humans
can't provide it
I look at the Earth and Sun and I can
Gm
tell a genius man designed it
G
C
It's truly mind blowing, I can't deny it
G
Is heaven real? Is it fake? Is it
C
really how I fantasize it?
Where's the Holy Ghost at? How long
G
it take Man to find it?
My mind's a nonstop tape playing
Gm
and I can't rewind it
G
You gave me a Bible and expect
me not to analyze it?
I'm frustrated and you provoked it
A
I'm not reading that motherfucking
book because a human wrote it
I have a fucking brain, you should know it
D
You gave it to me to think to
Gm
avoid every useless moment
G
It was a mission that I had to abort
Gm
G
Cause humans be lying with
such an inaccurate source
C
It's gon' be hard to put
me back on the course
G
Next Jehovah's Witness
D
to come on my porch
I swear I'm slammin' the door
G
A lot of folks believe it though, but I'm
not surprised
C
Humans are fucking dum
D
b, still thinkin' that Pac's alive
G
I ain't trying to take your legacy
and torch it down
Gm
I'm just saying: I ain't heard
shit from the horse's mouth
G
C
G
Just sheep always telling stories
of older guys
Who were notarized by
C
you when you finally vocalized
Now I'm supposed to bow my head
G
and close my eyes
And somehow let the Holy
Gm
Ghost arise
Sound's like a fucking Poltergeist
G
Show yourself and then boom it's done
Gm
Every rumor's gone, I no longer doubt this shit,
you're the One
I'll admit that my sinful
D
ways was stupid fun
A
And all my old habits can hop
D
on to of a roof to plunge
I'll donate to a charity that could
Gm
use the funds
G
Fuck the club, instead of bitches I'd
hang with a group of nuns
Gm
C
And everyone that I ran into would know
what I came to do
I wouldn't take a step unless it
was in the name of You
I hate the fact that I
have to believe
G
You haven't been chatting with me
D
like you did Adam and Eve
And I ain't seen no fucking talking snake
G
unravel from trees
C
With an apple to eat,
Gm
that shit nev er happens to me
D
I don't know if you do or don't exist,
it's driving me crazy
G
Send your condolences,
D
this is me reaching to you so don't forget
Gm
If hell is truly your pit of fire and I
get thrown in it
G
I'mma probably regret the fact
C
that I ever wrote this shit
G
My gut feeling says it's all fake,
C
I hate to say it but fuck it,
G
Gm
shit I done lost faith
G
This isn't a small phase, my
perspective's all changed
My thoughts just keep picking
Gm
shit apart all day
G
And in my mind I make
perfect sense
If you aren't real then all my prayers aren't
worth a cent
That would mean that I could just
A
make up what my purpose is
And I could just sit in church and
say "fuck" in the services
D
Man what if Jesus was a facade?
Then that would mean
the government's god
I feel like they've been
Gm
G
brainwashing us with a lot
So much that we don't even notice
Gm
that we're stuck in the box
Man everything is "what if",
C
why is it always "what if"
Planet Earth "what if",
the universe "what if"
My sacrifice "what if",
my afterlife "what if"
Every fucking thing that deals with
G
you is fucking suspect
D
G
I'm fucking done, I'm fuck
ing done
This is my fucking life and I'm living it,
C
I'm having fun
If you really care for me, prove that
D
I need to live carefully
But I'll be damned
if I put my own pleasure
G
aside for an afterlife that isn't
even guaranteed
We are you, and you're us,
stop playing games
C
My life's all I got, and
G
heaven is all in my brain
And when I feel I am in hell,
A
D
my
G
ideas are what get me through pain
Do as you please,
C
D
and I'll just do me, I'm a human,
G
D
G
C
I'll stay in my lane
