[G] [F] [Bb] [C]
[D] [G] [F] [Bb] [D]
[Eb] [F] [Bb] [C]
[D] I was ill [Bb] prepared.
I was prepared to [D] be killed, though.
The skill was [G] there in the beginning.
It wasn't [C] about the ends.
It was about [Bb] bussin' raps and [C] standin' for [A] somethin'.
Fuckin' actin' when you hear him [G] cut the fuckin' act.
But you're [C] happy I'm fuckin' back again with [Dbm] another anthem.
[C] What's not [D] when it doesn't [G] have to end?
It ain't over till I say it's [C] over.
Enough [Gm] with the sayin' now.
Throw me [D] to the wolves and close the gate up.
I'm afraid of [Eb] what'll happen to them wolves.
[C] When the thought of being thrown into [Gb] an [D] alligator pit, I salivated.
Hey, ladies [G] up.
Hands up like it's 12 [C] noon.
Nah, homie.
Hold them [Gm] bitches straight up.
Wave them to [D] your dislocator or catercuff.
Came up [C] rough.
Came to ruffle feathers.
[Gm] Now, egos I ain't deflating.
Last chance [D] to make this a stadium. It was.

[G] [F] [Bb] [D]
[Gm] [C] [Bb] [C]
[D] can [Gm] see the finish line with each line [C] that I finish.
I'm so [Gm] close to my goals I can [D] almost hold both over the [Bb] goalpost.
[D] And [G] if I don't got enough in the [C] tank, maybe I can just siphon enough to fill up this last [D] can.
Man, will I survive in [G] this climate or what?
They said I was washed [Bb] up and got a bloodbath.
I'm not a rapper.
[D] I'm an adapter.
I can adjust.
[Eb] Plus, I can [F] just walk up to a mic and just [Bb] bust.
So, pause open [D] if you'd like to [A] discuss.
Top five in this [C] motherfucker.
And if I don't make the call, what?
Like I give a fuck.
My [D] life just gets chopped like I'm driving a [G] truck.
To the side of a park.
[C] Zero to 60.
I've been [Bbm] in Garnet like [Eb] GME [D] without the hyphen.
I'm hyping them [Gm] up.
And if there should ever [C] come a time when my life's in a [Bb] rut, and I look [Eb] like I might just give up and might have been stuck.
Me for bowing out.
[C] I ain't taking a [Fm] bow.
I'm stabbing [Bb] myself with a [C] fucking knife [Dm] in the gut while I'm wiping my [G] butt.
Because I just shitted [F] on the mic and I like getting [Bb] cut.
I get [Am] excited at the sight of my blood.
You better fight with [B] a knife.
Cause I'm a fight [C] till I die.
We clobbering the dust.
It'll just make me [D] angrier.
Wait, let me [Gm] remind you of what [C] got me this far.
Bitch, I'm a [Gm] quittin'.
I draw a circle around it [D] and put a line through it.
Smite is [G] survival in what?
[F] It is [Bb] [D] survival.
[G] [C]
[Bb] [C] [D] [G] [F] It is [Bb] the way [C] that it [D] seems.
But it also [Gm] take it all.
[F]
[Bb] [C] [D] [Eb] Take it all.
[C]
[Bb] [Gm] So, get your [Cm] high, bitch.
Stack ammo.
Put them cool unless you come [D] to battle.
Now, my life's up in [Gm] the saddle.
This is it.
[C] It's what you eat, sleep, piss, [E] and shit.
Live free.
[D] Your whole existence just consists [G] of this.
Refuse to quit.
[F] Fuse is lit.
Can't defuse [C] the wit.
I don't do this music [D] shit.
I lose my shit.
[N] Ain't got shit to lose.
It's the [Am] moment of truth.
It's all I know [Bb] how to do.
As soon as I get [D] thrown in the booth, [A] I spit.
[G] But my respect is [C] overdue.
I'm showing you the flow.
[Gm] No one do.
Cause I [C] don't know no [D] diploma for school.
I quit.
So, there's nothing [G] for me to fall [C] back on.
I know no other trade.
[Bb] So, you better trade your fucking knives [D] in for some [Ab] toolboxes.
[D] Cause you'll never [Cm] take my pride from me.
It'll have to be pride [Bb] from me.
So, pull out your [D] pliers and your screwdrivers.
[G] But I want you to doubt [C] me.
I don't want you to [Gb] leave.
Cause this is something [D] that I must [A] use to [G] succeed.
And if you don't like [C] me, then fuck you.
Self-esteem must be fucking [D] steaming through the roof.
Cause trust me, my [G] skin is too thick [C] and blood proof.
You touch [E] me, I can see why the fuck [D] I disgust you.
I must be up.
Logic to failure.
[C] Cause every time I come close [Bbm] to it, I just sneeze.
But I [D] just go one, two, and [Eb] a G!
