Yo, we obviously

Verse 1
Em Em 
 
G G 
 
need to tone it down a bit
Em Em 
 
G G 
 
Running round town spending time
Em Em 
 
G G 
 
like it's counterfeit
Em Em 
 
Everybody catching hay fever like sinuses
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
Step in my arena let me show
y'all who the highness is
You might say I could be
G G 
 
doing something positive
D D 
 
Em Em 
 
Humble head down low and
G G 
 
broke like promises
Em Em 
 
Soaking and  broken in a joke like comics is
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
Not enough paper to be paying
G G 
 
folks compliments
Em Em 
 
But when that paper got low
so did my tolerance
D D 
 
G G 
 
And it ain't no truth in a dare
Em Em 
 
G G 
 
without the consequence
Em Em 
 
Listen if it not for these
hood inventions
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
I'd just be another kid from
the block with no intentions
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
G G 
 
Bm Bm 
 
On the dock of that bay
G G 
 
serving a life sentence
D D 
 
G G 
 
Even if I'm going to hell I'm
gonna make an entrance
Em Em 
 
Yeah let em know I'm getting
G G 
 
cheese like omelets is
Em Em 
 
But I'm the toast of the
Bm Bm 
 
town like Thomas'

Verse 2
We're all on a journey
D D 
 
Bm Bm 
 
D D 
 
A A 
 
D D 
 
Down the hall of memories
A A 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
Don't worry bout what
you ain't got
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
Leave with a little bit of dignity
Bm Bm 
 
Never loved what I had
D D 
 
Bm Bm 
 
D D 
 
Always felt like I  deserved more
But when I
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
Make it to the other side
Make it to the other side
G G 
 
That's when we'll settle
Em Em 
 
up  the score

Verse 3
Em Em 
 
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
G G 
 
Yo, we did this in remembrance of
D D 
 
G G 
 
Faces from the past we no
Em Em 
 
longer have an image of
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
Carrying cold blood hearts that
never been for love
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
Brothers keep going for theirs
but never get enough
G G 
 
World travelers that seen
D D 
 
it all and did enough
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
G G 
 
Only to return to learn the world
wasn't big enough
Em Em 
 
Damn, how long has it been?
I guess the jig is up
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
Now all I know is I'm about
to wake this nigga up
G G 
 
Yeah that hindsight,
D D 
 
20 20, now
G G 
 
niggas dead on the money
D D 
 
Trying to take something from me it's
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
a wrap like a mummy
Undun I am becoming and when
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
he's tired of running
Through the layers of the onion
He'll probably shed a tear cause
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
they'll be no more fast times
G G 
 
Just his weak mind scrolled
Em Em 
 
G G 
 
out like a   bad sign
Em Em 
 
He never had enough and got
confused when they asked why
Life is only a moment in time
and it passed by
Bm Bm 
 
We're

Verse 4

Verse 5
G G 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
I'm sitting on top of the world
D D 
 
ready to jump off
Bm Bm 
 
G G 
 
Thinking of various ways to
breaking the law
Em Em 
 
Thinking that enough is enough
but still I want more
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
Thinking of how I'm playing with
fire that burned my young boy
G G 
 
By any means necessary,
don't give a damn
Bm Bm 
 
So every night I'm on a
Em Em 
 
G G 
 
flight that never lands
Em Em 
 
Be an asshole when the shit hits the fan
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
Or bet your life on a bluff
and a bad hand
Can't win, can't lose
Get 'em gassed, leave 'em leaking fuel
D D 
 
Em Em 
 
Either way the market moves
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
Cash rules kings,  queens,
prince and princess
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
Every night I'm crossing a line
that ain't the finish
Every thought is dark as a
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
glass of fucking Guinness
D D 
 
Em Em 
 
D D 
 
Too far gone to come back
Em Em 
 
D D 
 
Em Em 
 
to  my senses
D D 
 
Em Em 
 
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
Now I'm on the edge of  my
bed making love to my meds
G G 
 
Every moment's like a
Em Em 
 
pistol to my head
When I'm getting mine

Em Em 
 
Don't worry bout what
you ain't got
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
Leave with a little bit of dignity
Bm Bm 
 
Never loved what I had
D D 
 
A A 
 
D D 
 
Always felt like I deserved more
A A 
 
D D 
 
But when I
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
Make it to the other side
Make it to the other side
G G 
 
Em Em 
 
That's when we'll settle up  the score
