Verse 1
C 
I  could try to say
that I was never one to run
But I was never one to stay
G 
C 
My daddy never taught me how
Em 
to knock a motherfucker out
I lay in bed and dread the day
E 
Em 
Ahead a scrawny kind of kid
talkin all this fat
C 
I never told my friends that I
was tortured by the fact
That I was in the minority
cause where my school was at
Em 
South Central Los Angeles
wouldn't trade it for the world
Adams and 32nd more to this
man you mention
C 
In it's essence evolved music so
how can I forget that
In the first grade,
I met that, fell in love and made that mine
Em 
I never regret that when
I think about the times
E 
Em 
When fat boys wanted to kick
my ass for nothing in my mind
C 
Was stressed daily now
it's funny but then
G 
I learned to pray to God because
C 
I couldn't tell my friends
Am 
Em 
That I was bullied on the block
psychologically getting punked
E 
Em 
I never really got punched or
Am 
jacked for my lunch money
C 
But on the yard like a jailor
kept my eyes peeled
Fifth grade on the battlefield,
man that shit was real
Em 
But on the yard like a jailor
kept my eyes peeled
E 
Em 
Fifth grade on the battlefield,
man that shit was real
C 
I  will never run again
and when I am a dad
Put my kids on everything
that I could never grab
Em 
Teach them how to fight because
E 
the world is going mad
Em 
Teach then how to love because that's
all we really have
C 
Love is number one to give my
kids when I'm a dad
Music number two because
Am 
that's what I'm all about
E 
I kiss them on the forehead when
Em 
they sit there lookin sad
Am 
C 
Em 
Shout out loud I will
C 
Am 
be there on the bow
Em 
Am 
C 
Am 
I will be there I will be there...
C 
Em 
C 
Am 
On the bow... on the bow
C 
The children are the future always
have and always will be
G 
Mine will be protected til
Em 
the ending if it kills me
Am 
They will know that daddy
E 
Em 
loved them with a passion
Am 
E 
An  d put nothing above them even
Am 
E 
when the world was crashing
C 
Around us in the end and some would
say that's coming closer
I put my daughter on my shoulders
love her til it's over
Em 
A change in consciousness could be the end
of what we know now
Not earthquakes tidal waves and
C 
nuclear meltdowns
Try to be positive in the way
I live to generate light
So if I bring that life into this
world to witness daylight
Am 
Em 
The love will carry over from killin
E 
off all my selfish acts
Em 
Help one oth er human being a day
C 
to get my bass out of hell
G 
Well runs dry daily gotta reimburse
C 
good beats come first
E 
Em 
I'm crazy in love with my unborn child
Am 
E 
Teach them to care then
Am 
C 
Em 
let them run wild
Am
