Key: A minor
Verse 1
Am
Fm
F
Just being cute got you to the status
where you absolutely starved
Crazy people out there, they stare at you
Gm
Dm
Am
Point at you, even reach in for
your hair and wanna touch that
But for fuck that, no need for you to do that
The term sweet legal child is out of use,
I thought you knew that
When you black,
it makes you center of attention
Being spotted out all the time is fucking
with the comprehension
Why?
Cause you the black man that run fast
Never ever come fast,
Am
New
York or
Hamburg
After 8 o 'clock the chances
that the cops pass
staring at the clock
Down the block you see the cops
they'll let you know they got the trigger
Maybe make me feel a criminal
Life ain't easy, no it ain't easy
it might be my disguise
Em
Eb
Am
Ask me no questions, I'll tell you no lies
seems empty
Am
Quiet man chillin' like a quiet man rides
When the day is like an illusion,
when you suffer from confusion
When your closest friends, plus you,
your brain just stops growing
My cousin running,
she been running for weeks
The last word we heard,
she was living nights in the streets
My father's pain from his past,
written all over his face
Years later, he raising his kids,
Fm
F
mak ing worse mistakes
Keith got blasted
Whoever the bastard,
F
the blaster must have had the issue mastered
remain in the game for short time
Because, revenge is the word
that's on the next man's mind
So I keep on my distance,
being a witness from afar
input from the streets took me to brick walls
In the process of me trying to go far,
I got to leave y 'all
Life ain't easy, no it ain't easy
Em
Eb
It's hard to explain why
it might be my disguise
Em
Eb
Ask me no questions, I tell you no lies
Am
A quiet man chillin's like a quiet man wise
Eb
Ask me no questions, I'll tell you no lies
By the time I came back my eyes were open
the environment is small
Dm
Am
F
Like brains operating in a circular wall
Your whole life is safe in the depression
of this one damn sound
My momma said that there
be days like this
But my momma never
this
F
Am
Saying I'm too radical,
why I'm just trying
to be political, correct
Don't reject white,
but see myself as pro -black
This color thing is shaking,
make you strong or break you
They take you away,
Life ain't easy, no way they easy
the world seems empty
it might be my disguise
Eb
Cm
Ask me no questions, I tell you no lies
Eb
Hard to explain why the world seems empty
Am
A quiet man, chill as like a quiet man rides
