I'm bored, let's do something else. _
I got this book, _ my dad gave [A] it to _ me.

[C#] supposed to be the soldier [F#] who never blows his [C#m] composure.
I know I hold the weight of [D#] the whole world [A] on my shoulders.
I ain't never supposed to show it, [G#m] my crew ain't supposed to [C#m] know it.
Even if it means going toe to toe with the [D#] Benzino, it [C#m] don't matter.
I never drag [F#] them in battles that I can handle [C#m] unless I absolutely have to.
[D#] I'm supposed to set an [A] example, I need to be the leader.
[G#m] My crew works for me to guide [C#m] them.
Something never does pop off, I'm supposed to [F#] be beside [C#m] them.
At times when I try to squash [F#] it, it was too late to stop [C#m] it.
There's certain lines you [B] just don't cross and it [A] cost it.
I heard him say Haley's [G#m] name on a song and I just lost [C#m] it.
He's crazy, he's f***** way beyond from Jay-Z and Nas.
And even though the battle [F#] was won, I feel like we lost [C#m] it.
I spent too much energy [B] on it, honestly I'm [A] exhausted.
And I'm so caught in it, I [G#m] almost feel I'm the one who caused [C#m] it.
This ain't what I'm in hip-hop for, it's not why I got in it.
It was never my [F#] object for someone to get killed.
[C#m] Why would I want to destroy [G#m] something I [A] helped build?
It wasn't my intentions, [G#m] my intentions were [C#m] good.
I went through my whole career without ever mentioning it.
F***** that, cause it's out of respect [F#] for not running my mouth
[C#m] and talking about something [E] that I knew nothing [A] about.
My friends told me to stay out, [G#m] since this wasn't my beef.
[C#m] So I did, I just felt bad, watched and gritted my teeth
[C#] while he's all over TV.
[F#] Now I'm talking to a man [C#m] who literally saved my life.
[D#] Like, f*****, I [A] understand this is business.
And this here [G#] just isn't none of my business.
[C#m] But still no one let it pop off at any minute.
[E] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _

And there used to be a time [F#] when you could just say [C#m] a rhyme
and wouldn't have to worry [D#] about one of your people [A] dying.
But now it's elevated, [G#m] cause once you put so much kids [C#m] in it,
it just gets escalated.
It ain't just [D#] worth them [C#m] or is it?
It's a different ballgame, you [F#m] calling names and you ain't just rapping.
[C#m] We actually tried to stop [D#] 50 and [A] Tommy from happening.
Me and Dre had sat [G#m] with him, kicked it, and had a chat [C#m] with him
and asked him not to start.
He wasn't gonna go after him until John started [F#] gapping
in magazines how we stabbed [C#m] him.
And 50 smashed [D#] him, massing him, let him have [A] it.
Meanwhile, my [G#] attention's pulling in another direction.
[C#m] Some deception, except the source who answers phone to this desk
has an obsession for me and [F#] thinks that I'll be his resurrection.
[C#m] Decides to blow the dust [D#] off his mic and [A] make a new record.
But now he's f***ed the game [G#m] up cause one of the ways I came [C#m] up
was through that publication, the [B] same one that made me famous.
[C#m] Now I'm the owner of it, but he's [F#] got a grudge against me for [C#m] nothing.
That other [D#] sucker could kill you too.
[A] _
But I'm so busy being [G#m] pissed off, I don't stop to think.
[C#m] This inherited 50's beef, the murder ink.
And he's inherited mine, [F#] which is fine, ain't like either [C#m] of us mine.
Still have [D#] soldiers that's on the [A] front lines, looking to die for us
[G#m] as soon as we gave the orders.
[C#m] Never too extort us strictly to [B] show they support [C#m] us.
And maybe shout him out [F#] and the rapper up in the chorus [C#m] to show him
we love him [D#] back and let him know [A] how important it is
to have Runyon [G#m] Avenue soldiers up in our corners.
[C#m] Their loyalty to us was more than [D#] any [C#m] award is.
But I ain't trying to have [F#] none of my people hurt or [A] murdered.
It ain't worth it, I can't think [D#] of a perfect way to [A] word it.
Can't just say that I love y'all [G#m] too much to see the verdict.
[C#m] I walk away from it all, so I let it go any further.
[C#] But don't get it [F#] twisted, it's not a plea that I'm [C#m] coppin'.
I'm just willing to be the [D#] bigger man if y'all can [A] quit poppin'.
Off to Jaws with a [G#] knockin', cause frankly I'm sick of [C#m] talkin'.
I'm not gonna let someone else's carpet rest on my [E] conscience.
