At  first I was like down on  myself,

Bm

MC?
G 
Bm 
D 
To get someone in  this world
Bm 
to even speak with me
I'm critiquing these stupid ass ways of life
Gm 
In hopes of understanding,
Bm 
but I stay in  strife and pain
And fuck trying to maintain,
Cm 
Bm 
I wanna get over
G 
Bm 
D 
See others do  ing the same thing
Bm 
But I'm moving slower and my
D 
Bm 
brain's thinking faster
Though I'm adding to disaster
D 
I master all my shit myself in my house
Bm 
And douse motherfuckers with the beat
Every time I speak completely
Gm 
Cause I correctly state my rhymes where
D 
Bm 
too many fail to freak me
Paragraphs they write,
Cm 
there are laughs when they say them
Bm 
Gm 
We rappers can't exist down to rest,
D 
we lay them
