[G]
[Gb] [Bm] [G]
I'm trapped inside the ghetto and I ain't proud to admit it
After toasting up lies I can still [Am] kill me a nigga [B] so I
If I was the [Am] president
I'd [Bm] paint my mom with red
Free my homies and them
[B] Pulling proof by Chevy doors
Lay in the White House [C] and get high [G] Lord Whoever thought
[Ab] Master'd take the chains off [Bbm] me
[B] [Abm] [Gb] [Bbm] [Fm] [Ebm]
[Abm] [Gbm] I'm trapped inside [Bbm] the ghetto and I ain't proud to [Ab] admit it
After toasting up lies I can still kill me a nigga so [Abm] I
I like to [Db] be like a [Gb] box of [Bbm] chocolate
Queer [Ebm] pro quo, [Ab] something for something
[Bbm] That's the obvious, oh shit
Flow so sick, don't you swallow it
Biting my style, you're something that'll poison [B] positive
I can [Abm] just alleviate [Bbm] the rap [Gb] industry politics
Milk the game up, never [Fm] let talks [B]
intolerant
The last [Abm] remainder, a [Gbm] real shit, you know the [F] obvious
Me, [Ab] scholarship though, please put me through [Abm] colleges
Be [Db] all you can be, who [F] my problem is
Dream [D] only a dream, if it work, follow [B] it
Remind me of the homies [C] that used to know me, now follow [Fm] this
I tell you my hypothesis, [Bbm] I'm probably just way too [Abm] loyal
K-Dizzle will do it [Bb] for you, my niggas think I'm a [G] god
Truthfully, all love was [Ab] for you, [Abm] usually you're never charged
But something [A] came over you [Gbm] once I took you to them fucking [Fm] BET awards
You looking [B] at hardasses like they're harvests
[Db] So [Gbm] many rollies [A] around you and [Ab] you want all of them
Somebody told me [Dbm] you thinking bout [Eb] snatching jury
I should've listened [Fm] what my grandmama said to [Bbm] me
Shit don't change [Eb] until you [Abm] get up and [Bbm] wash your ass, [Db] nigga
[Eb] [Fm] Shit don't change [Ebm] until you [Abm] get up and wash [Dbm] your [N] ass
Boy, [Bb] shit don't change [Abm] until you get up and [Db] wash your [Gbm] ass, [F] nigga
[Fm] Oh now, [Db] [Eb] slow down
[Cm] [Bbm] Once upon a time [Eb] in a city [Abm] so divine [Bb] called [Gb] Westside [F] Compton
Stood a little nigga, [Bb] he was five [Ab] foot [B] something
God [Abm] bless the [A] kid, took [Gbm] his homies to that [F] show but this is [Fm] what they said
Get my poster do [B] it, I'm looking [Abm] at walking licks
[Db] The goddamn big money talk bout the matching [Fm] and foreign whips
The private jets and passport, [Gbm] presidential [Ebm] glass for
Old bottles, gold [Fm] models, giving up their ass for
Instagram [Bb] flicks, [Eb] sucking dick, [Ab] fuck is this
One [Dbm] more sucker [Gb] waving with a [Ab] flashy wrist
My defense mechanism tell [Bb] me to get him
[B] Quickly [Abm] because he got [A] it, it's a [Eb] recession
Then why the fuck he at King of [Ebm] Diamonds
No more, let me ball me my [Abm] 4-4
[Dbm] When I [Gb] see him with the [Bbm] bird damn [Fm] on the floor
Now the country know that you're cold [Db] workers
[Eb] But it's gonna take a lot for this pistol to go cold turkey
Now [Fm] I can watch this [Bbm] watch on the TV and be [Ebm] okay
But [Ab] see I'm on the [Gb] clock, move that watch, landing in [Bbm] LA
[Fm] Remember, still from the roots and giving it back to the poor
[E] Well that's me at these awards
I [F] guess my grandmama was warning the boys, she said
Shit [Bbm] don't [Eb] change until you [Abm] get up and [Db] wash your ass nigga
[Eb] [Fm] Shit don't change [Ebm] until you [Abm] get up and [A] wash your ass
[Eb] Boy, shit don't change until [Abm] you get up and [Dbm] wash your [Gbm] ass [F] nigga
[Fm] Oh now, [Db] [Eb] slow down
[Cm] [Bbm] Once upon a [B] time in a [Abm] city so [Ebm] divine called Westside [Bbm] Compton
Stood [Eb] a little nigga, [Ab] he was five foot [B] something
[Abm] Dazed and [A] confused, [Gbm] talented but still [Bbm] under the neighborhood [Fm] rules
You can take your boy [Eb] out the [Abm] hood but you [Db] can't take the [Gb] hood off the [F] homie
Took his show money, [Fm] stashed it in [Db] the mosey-mosey
[Eb] Hollywood's nervous, fuck you goodnight, thank you much for your [Bbm] service
