And all the things you care about live in part

If you're gonna survive past [N] 100 it's here
There ain't no thing when blood is spilled
But the emergency ward is capacity filled
And the better becomes, there's a big surprise
In a naked city, never close to the tide
A new story for every day
Told a thousand different ways
That's how it is, that's how it goes

A young [N] girl seen a beef gaining weight
Her parents all thought it was the food she ate

Can a daddy just accept it as a [F] fact
That it wasn't the meals, that it wasn't snacks?
There's another girl, her [Gb] name is Vicky
The girl is five, but she's sold enough check
Vicky's five, but this is not very cop
She'll lay you down and then she'll rob your [B] block
You wake up in the morning and you're feeling blue
Because Vicky is gone and your money is too

Rescue!
The story's complete [N] Born on a dim lit ghetto street
Brought up unknown Mother straight He learned about life the real hard way
Wear pretty things on the lace to see Fucking face diamonds and gold too recent
All this time I just counted his babies He's a fly bug, uh uh, never in the place
He's a Fresh Kid His money is low
Been the subject of a ghetto song Poor kids admire
Ladies desire They say, what I can't get out his spot
He's a Fresh Kid Yeah, he's alright
He grew up with a footless in the hood of the night
Pup and good good mega Or even trigger
The thought that cocaine became his lega
Never cut with speed And he can't see until his nose is bleeding
That was just one weakness I must admit
In fact, when he was right He just never quit
See, it's one slip Put you living day by day
When the crazy thing happened Alone in the wake
He knew he started to bake And hell of a bake
Now, isn't this great?
He got the pipe in his face
More pretty boots And a turtledove
He didn't take care of his thin ass bone
Stayed at home all alone in the twilight zone
Just biting on his back like a dog on the road
Trying to ruin the bait by just holding his breath
With a white clout, boom, shit!
Stuck in his chest, but then he tried to stop
But it never worked And then the ladies started
Calling him the free man, cuz This is breaking him down
You know he's not so sick Because he spent all his money
And his friends up on quick He lost his car, his house
His friends, his wife, pup, and basic cocaine
Made him lose his life [G] Because he bought some more credit
And couldn't pay [D] And then the pushers looked for him
And blew him away [Db] In a blaze of glory
In his own territory Eight million [Ab] feds, but all real [Bm] stories
