Chords for Dave | Warm Up Sessions [S9.EP27]: SBTV

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
I listen, that's me, shout out to my name, shout out to all, listen, [G] fucking look, _ _ [Bm] cool.
My life's hectic, [Em] I just went from rapping for [G] expression to chats with Jamal [Em] Edwards and I'm just getting started.
I couldn't quantify my vision nor explain [F#] my hardship, wow we come a long way from [Bm] Tennyson's and Rich the Market, where do I begin?
I'll start just after my [G] brother's case when the judge for life I swear it [Em] still hasn't touched my brain.
I'm up with pain, travel when I fund [F#] the rain, grinding when that summer came, we [Bm] bagged and tagged for a hundred apes.
I started shotting, I'm not a gangster, I won't tell you lies, [Em] I've been dead and alive from football, filling white.
My school excluded me from minor crimes, I [F#] grind for mine, my group went 20 to 5, [Bm] investing in season 9's.
Teachers used to love me, me rapped so [G] jossy, went from new kids ace to ah, that's the good, the bad, the [Bm] ugly.
I couldn't [Em] tell you about a lighter fence, quiet in your [B] 9 and 10, [F#] reflect shank in English like this [Bm] life is of mice.
I was a young man, I could feel myself changing, [G] as I started ageing, my mind started fading and my back started aching.
Year 11 fought depression, popping pills inside my [F#] lessons, yes I smiled but I was stressing, [Bm] music such a blessing.
So much spare time, I put that [G] music in my pan, I taught myself to play piano, I put that music in my hands, then I lost to diabetes.
Man I do this for my gran, it's better yet, I never said that I do [B] this for my dad but I do, [Bm] I do this for my [G] older brother too.
It went from us seeing Chris to me and mum seeing you, now two brothers in the prison that had me feeling the next wave.
Why?
Because word to [Bm] god my G died on the next day, imagine trying to bang your music, but them channels they were clueless that you're broke,
feeling your [G] wildest dreams, TT's the [A] shouting fiend, the pregnant needs the food, so that [Bm] message was an SOS on SMS,
these acting we clap em like SFX, girls call me a waste of time, cos I ain't trying to make her wife go on dates.
[A] If you think about it, them girls are wasting mine, I need to save mine, drop me out you [D] useless beef.
I just spent [C#] a grand on Cabin [Bm] and I spent two on T-Full, I wanted what's the words of wisdom, guidance to [Em] the lovers ruled,
[G] them older show me how to do is steal, sell [Em] drugs and kill, I came to them with problems and they encouraged me to [F#] touch the steel.
I said I need a piece, they tried to [B] send me cunt, it's fucking real that [E] them niggas [Bm] think they're putting on for you by [G] buying chains.
Try and send that gold to a mum that has to [E] buy a grave, try and send that silver to a prison others [F#] ride in,
ayy a prison others ride in, ten they [B] ride on us, we ride on them, we [Bm] ride and miss, we ride again, [G] you wonder why we raggo.
My generation back told me I'd burn us [Em] from young like, _ them niggas couldn't [F#m] come my yard, so why do you think [F#] my youngins up [Bm] front,
like Hunterlar running errands like I had three feet, I've been trying to get my mum a yard, [G] feeling like I can't breathe,
life in South [Em] London's hard, I think back I should blaze and fam, niggas tried to [F#] claim me when I couldn't put it for a piece,
to them [B] oldies they wouldn't [Bm] pay for man, my dogs would be rabies fam, see that youth [Em] rabies gaffer, rusty ready [G] to send a son to god like [E] Abraham.
Then man I don't speak to them, and I ain't got [F#] fee for them, I just keep my [Bm] moves in house like 120 BPM,
and blacks are the richest, but we mismanage the riches, we have gold, oil, coal and earth and we ended up the victims,
most Arabs and Jews inherit land riches and property, but as a black in South London I inherit madness and poverty,
we won't teach you how to get a job, but we'll teach you how to use a stick, [G] leave school, sell food, make these, you know the [E] usual things,
tier 18 with 10 grand and now you don't know what [Bm] to do with it, and your donnies they want a chunk of it,
so now you let a luger spit, I never came from a broken home, my sister came and broke my home,
[G] and now my bros are sitting in cells, [A] like chromosomes, I hope the dough don't tear us [Bm] apart,
but I know the roads, I know my bros, but love for me, I love them back, I know the code,
brother would you ride for me, or are you like these lying guys, [G] you say they let the stars scream,
but when they see [A] the iron hide, brother would you check me on my birthday, [D] you grind on my worst day,
[C#m] or was this all [Bm] a lie, in the worst way, would you kill me for a million, would you turn me for the peas,
[G] would you leave me to die, if I got burned [A] in a fief, and if my name got punished,
would you disown me for [D] the woes, or would you roll me [C#] regardless, cause you know that we [Bm] are bros,
listen brother would [B] you ride for me, I ain't asking you [G] to ride for shit,
the roads are for these hyped up pricks, and a couple men [A] have died for this.
