Key: D major•
Verse 1
Life, they wonder,
can they take me under?
Verse 2
Nah, never that, nah, yo, yo
tenement buildings
Unlimited killings,
menaces marked for death
Better known as the projects where junkies
and rock heads dwell
Though I owe to it my success
With survival of the fittest,
everyday is a chal'
I would think I'm a part of U.S.A.
and be proud
Confronted with racism, started
your problems
I reached for the stars but
I just kept slipping
On this life mission,
never know what's next
Ancient kings from Egypt,
up to Julius Cezar
Had a piece of the globe, every continent
A
D
Yo, there's Asia, Africa,
Europe, France, Japan
Pakistan, America, Afghanstan
Yo, there's Protestants,
Jews, Blacks, Arabics
Call a truce, world peace,
stop acting like savages
time and think
why then?

D
Yo, there's brothers on the block,
from New York to California
Got blocks locked down
G
D
Like, "dog you safe whenever
grows in ghettos, goes to prison
At an early age,
already know it's against him
So in order for him to survive,
one day he must
Open up his eyes to the set
backs and rise
'Cause, everybody wants a shot,
G
D
in this land of opportunity
Look at what this country's
got
There shouldn't be
nobody homeless
How can the president fix other problems
oil in my control
Em
G
The world's natural resources,
all it's residuals
But then comes foes,
F#m
Em
I have to guard it with missiles
And I become the most wanted
D
F#m
problems and followed by Secret Service
I guess, attempts at my life
or just throw in the towel, yo
Verse 5

Verse 6
D
Y'all know that's my style,
Nas write down
Tell you my dreams,
show you my pain is yours
You could get what you love,
be a chain in cause
You alive right now
There's so many that's dead or locked up inside the beast,
I'm a hot light now
It's whatever man think
All this hate can't forever last
G
D
All my ghetto heroes in Heaven,
it's like you right here and never passed
You just transcend,
now the weapons are chemical
In Hip- Hop, the weapons are lyrical
To be the best you challenge the best,
then the blessings are spiritual
Em
G
Top of the world for
the kid and unless
Popping any rapper's head off his
so fly you can't near me
You scared of a mirror,
D
Em
we gotta get ours now

Verse 8
Yo, niggas ain't forget shit,
know what I'm saying?
Men, women and children killed
Yo, what this war just show me is
like, whatever you want out of life
Whatever you feel is rightfully yours,
go out and take it
up on, that's what this country's about
This is what my country is,
and my country's a motherfucker
