Verse 2
Yo, I'm al (A minor) ways early
I never take off 'cause I got a (G major) job
Rob Peter to pay Paul
(A minor) Now I real (F sharpdim) ize it's
the winner that takes all
Do what I gotta (F minor) do because
I can't take loss
Picture me living (A minor) life as if I'm
some animal
That consumes (G major) its own dreams
like I'm a cannibal
I won't accept (F sharpdim) failure unless
it's mechanical
But still the alco (F minor) hol mixed
with the botanical
(G major) I guess I be (A minor) re ferred to the owners
manual full of (G major) loaners
Full of all the homeless

Lot of niggas (A minor) go to prison
How many come out Malcolm X?
I know (G major) I'm not
Shit, can't even talk about the rest
(F sharpdim) Famous last words: "You under arrest"
Will (F minor) I get popped to (F major) night?
It's anybody's guess
I (A minor) guess, a nigga need to stay cunning
I guess (G major) when the cops comin'
need to start runnin'
I won't (F sharpdim) make the same mistakes
from my last run in
(F major) You either done doing crime
(F minor) now or (F major) you done in
(A minor) I got a brother on the run and one in
(G major) Wrote me a letter,
he said when you comin'
(F sharpdim) Shit man,
I thought the goal's to stay out
(F minor) Back against the wall,
then shoot your way (F major) out
(A minor) Gettin' money's a style
that never plays out
'Til (G major) you end up boxin' your stash,
money's paid out
The scales (F sharpdim) of justice ain't equally (D major)
weighed (F sharpdim) out
Only (F minor) two ways out,
digging tunnels or digging (F major) graves out
