Verse 1
Yeah, (A minor) this (D minor) is going out to those (E minor) who grew up (A minor) without a mother or a father,
(D minor) (C major) you know what I (D minor) mean? (E minor)
It's tough, (D minor) but (E minor) somehow
(A minor) you gotta (E minor) hold (A minor) your head up (E minor) high. (D minor)
You gotta do what you got to (E minor) do. (D minor)
Let me talk about (A minor) my
life (E minor) for a minute. (D minor)
Yo, pay attention. (E minor) (D minor)
(C major) (A minor) (E minor)
Fourteen years (D minor) old,
the grown man (C major) had to (E minor) hit the streets
and get the (D minor) cream and murder pan.
(A minor) Mom (E minor) (A minor) s bounced (E minor) on (D minor) the fam,
imagine (F major) this,
(E minor) now we really in (D minor) a jam, damn
(A minor) At (E minor) (A minor) this time, (E minor)
Pop (D minor) Duke wasn't thinking,
(E minor) spent his time sniffing (D minor) coke
and drink (A minor) ing
At (E minor) one time, (D minor) for a season,
this man would (F major) bleed,
(E minor) but now I proceed to (D minor) take the lead
(A minor) I got brothers (E minor) and sisters to (D minor) feed,
(F major) so
(E minor) Shook's coming,
(D minor) you best take (D major) heed (D minor) (A minor)
(E minor) Anyone could be a (D minor) victim,
so I (C major) can at (E minor) tack dawg,
ah (D minor) ha ha ha, stick (A minor) em
Some (E minor) would think it's
(D minor) life to be cool
Hanging (E minor) out all night,
then get up and go to school
(A minor) Fools, (D minor) this shit was stressing
Every day fucked (E minor) up,
but I still (D minor) count my (E minor) bless (A minor) ings
No (E minor) pops to (D minor) tell me wrong from right
No (E minor) moms to hold my (D minor) fucking
hand (D major) at night
They (A minor) (E minor) say I'm head (D minor) ing for trouble
They say (F major) I'll en (E minor) d up doing
life (D minor) maybe double
Hmm, (E minor) suspensions
mean (D minor) nothing to me
(F major) Call my (E minor) crib if you want (D minor) to, no daddy
I'm (A minor) (E minor) 16,
(A minor) (E minor) (D minor) with my own caddy
It's (F major) fucked (E minor) up, niggas (D minor) stay mad at me
(C major) With (A minor) (E minor) no father or mother (D minor)
Advice go in (E minor) one ear,
(D minor) then right out the other
(A minor) This (E minor) shit hurt (D minor) bad, heart felt,
(C major) but (E minor) you learned (C major) to play
(E minor) The (D minor) hand (D major) you was (D minor) dealt
(A minor) with no (E minor) mother (A minor)
No mother (D minor) , (E minor) no father, (C major) (E minor) ayy
Where (D minor) will I (C major) go? (E minor)
(D minor) (C major) (A minor) (E minor) (A minor)
(E minor) No (D minor) mother, (C major) no father (E minor)
(D minor) What (C major) will (A minor) I (E minor) do? (D minor)
How will I (E minor) grow? (D major) (A minor)
(E minor) Nine (A minor) teen (E minor) now, (D minor) I had to get away
(C major) I made (E minor) moves and broke out (D minor) to Atlanta,
G .A. (A minor)
(E minor) Hooked up with moms out (D minor) that way
Told me that she (E minor) loved me,
so we played (D major) it day by day
About (A minor) (E minor) a month went (D major) by, (D minor)
and to no (C major) sur (E minor) prise,
she woke up and told (D major) me goodbye
(D minor) My (A minor) (E minor) pop warned
me (D major) of this (D minor) move,
but I ain't (C major) runnin' (E minor) back home
I (D minor) got to show and prove, (C major) (A minor)
(E minor) I caught a job (D minor) at Lennox Mall
Cause (C major) in the (E minor) face of adversity,
(D minor) I stand tall (E minor)
(A minor) I (E minor) sold weed (D major) to
make (D minor) ends meet,
cause I (E minor) love to live nice,
(D minor) plus I love (D major) to eat (A minor)
Parties, (D minor) every night, turned them out,
(F major) hooked (E minor) up with my
man Guru (D minor) (D major) (E minor)
Talked the dreams of being
(D minor) a rap star
Formed (E minor) a rap duo,
better known (D minor) as Gangstar
(A minor) Told (E minor) my papa bout my
(D minor) dreams out of (C major) town
But (E minor) like he did before,
(D major) he shot this one down
(E minor) No father, (D minor) yeah, (E minor) this shit is real,
(D minor) yeah, (A minor) yeah
(E minor) No (D minor) mother, (C major) no father (E minor)
Hey, (D major) (A minor) (E minor) where (D major) will
(C major) I go? (E minor) (D major) (A minor) (E minor)
No (D minor) mother, (C major) no father (E minor) , what (D minor) will (A minor) I (E minor) do,
(D minor) how will I (E minor) grow? (D major) (A minor)
(E minor) 23, I broke back (D minor) to Ball (E minor) stown,
(C major) but when (E minor) I came to town,
crack came to town,
(A minor) nearly blew my ass down
My (D minor) pride and my (E minor) dignity,
nowhere to (D major) be found,
(A minor) my (E minor) life, the epitome (D major) of (D minor) hardcore
(F major) I (E minor) was robbin' everything, (D minor)
from (D major) Burger Kings (E minor) to liquor stores
You want more?
(D minor) I was outta control, (F major)
(E minor) got bagged eight (D minor) to ten
With three to (C major) serve (A minor) at Wal (E minor) pole,
my life (D major) was (D minor) no joke
At (F major) about (E minor) this time,
Pop Duke (D minor) caught (D major) a stroke
(A minor) My life and my (E minor) dreams
all went up in (D minor) smoke
Too (E minor) damn strong to hang
my (D minor) self (D major) by (E minor) a rope
(A minor) One (E minor) day in my cell, (D minor) feelin' blue
(F major) I (E minor) got a kite from my main (D minor) man, (D major) Guru
(C major) He (A minor) (E minor) told me what to do
(D minor) He (C major) said, if (F major) you get (E minor) your shit right,
there's a chance (D major) for you (E minor)
(A minor) Right (E minor) then,
it hit me like (D minor) a metal pipe
(F major) I'ma (E minor) rock mics (D minor) for
the (D major) rest of my life
(A minor) No (E minor) (A minor) longer (E minor) will (D major) my
mind (D minor) be cluttered
(F major) I was (E minor) able to make it
without (D major) my father or my mother
(A minor) But (E minor) I love them (D major) still
And (D minor) if they (F major) stayed (E minor) to gether,
my life (D major) might not be ill
But (A minor) (E minor) you got to
do what you got to do
And for the (E minor) rest of my fam,
this one's for you
No (E minor) mother, no father (E minor) , no father
Where (E minor) will I go, (E minor) where will I go?
No mother, no father, no father
What will I (E minor) do, how will (E minor) I grow?
(D major) (E minor) (D minor) (E minor) (E minor) (D minor)
(E minor) The way (E minor) that I go (D major) (A minor)
(D minor) The way that I go (A minor) (D minor) (F major)
The way that I (E minor) go
