I want to say [Bb] one thing, [A] I know some people [Dbm] who smoke a lot [N] of herb, okay?
And I know people who don't smoke herb and they're so wound up tight they need to take a hit.
But you got to know your own destiny and not allow yourself to stand in the way of your
own destiny because everyone's destiny is greatness.
[Ab] [F]
So [N] if you're not where you want to be in your life, you may need to put it down.
