I can take [E] it back to when days were simple.
[F] Well, all [F#] I had to worry about [G] was schooling if I had a pimple.
Now everybody looking [E] up to me like I'm God [F] and I'm [E] trying to be the man [G] but I [B] can't put
up no facades.
[C] So sacrifice out here leaning, trying [E] to patch people wounds when yourself still bleeding.
[Am] Everything falling, I wonder who see us.
[G] Boom boom pow like automata [C] Pia.
I've been on my job.
[E] Everything is over feeling like time.
[F] Notice my shepherd I've been reading in songs.
[G] Need to feel God in [Em] my feet and my palms.
I [C] feel like I'm overprotective [E] cause I'm scared of getting hurt.
[F] It's like time and time and time [G] again the hurt is getting [C] worse.
I feel I'm cursed cause people lie [E] to me so much I can't relax.
[F] Every time I'm trying to level [G] up the devil on my back.
[C] Cause we've been down before, yeah [E] I know. _
[F] It ain't nothing like I've been through before. _

I can't let [G] my story bring me down.
[G] He brought me through that.
What's done in the dark comes to [E] the light.
I promise that's [F] the realest.
He pulled grace from a big [G] band like he rocking with the [C] Stillers.
Top of that, my [E] homeboy passed last week.
[F] Long live 22.
[G] That's how fast [C] life be.
Then I step back to a show [E] and get a call from my sis.
[F] She said [F#] a dude hung himself [G] in school.
He only in the six.
[C] It's my job to bring this ho.
[E] It's my job to walk this road.
[Am] It's my job to always stay low.
[G] It's my job to save [C] these souls.
So I can't give them now.
[E] Mary Mary is the sound.
[F] Praise for life like I'm Clyde [Em] B.
Stilette.
No, we got [C] sweeping down before.
[E] Yeah, I know. _
[F] It ain't nothing like I've been through before.
