Can [C#] I get a glimpse?
Last night I had a bad dream [C] [A] That I was trapped in the [C#] city then I asked
is that really such a bad thing They robbin niggas on the daily [F#] can you blame
a nigga that ain't ever had things _ [A] Guess not

Ugh, [F#] nice watch, [C#] run it

Hands in the [G#] air now, hands [A] in the air [Fm] Hands in the air now, hands in the air
The whole industry been in shambles Everybody [A] Fugazi I'm just changing the channel
[C#] Kendrick Lamar the people's champion I'm animal for analysts
[A] Career damaging verses meditating [C#] when candles lit
I like my raps extra prolific Since [A] freestyling on lunch tables and park
[C#] benches And I won't mention my 10,000 hours in training
while juggling game banking My balance ain't much tremendous
And now we look at the competition as [D#m] quick submission
[C#m] They tapping out before we even get [C#] a chance to miss em
What this about is it money or skill [G#] Maybe it's both and I [G] got lots of them I'm
saying it's [C#] real You see my oath is very unbreakable
My style is never mistakeable I can see y'all incapable
Who be the god MC's you know [G#] me well [C#] Ridiculous venomous hate in my [A#m] heart
The sinister run for cover My lineage prove itself
[F#] I'm rolling deep in their paper like two [C#] Adels But for scholars I flow [N] tighter than virgin
lips We [C#m] here to shake the game up and you're flying
through turbulence [A#m] Everything is high stake nowadays
That's how I play [A] nowadays It's like an 8 ball to the face nowadays
I'm [A#m] laced nowadays My gun is off the waist nowadays
[F#] And seven figures in retainer for the case nowadays
I'm [C#] talking higher power every [F#] other hour Since Eddie [C#m] Bowers and stash boxes and lead
showers Breaking the [F#] padlock and the dead coward
Dying a thousand deaths entire alliance [A] Surrounding self-forbearance watch a n***a
you share a [F#] profit This is what they want I'm the one
This is vintage from 1980 some [C#] I'm the son of the pioneer
They got you near the sun Play with hum that you better off voting for
Donald Trump I'm yelling [Cm] Mr.
Kenya what's for president
He [A#] probably let me get some head inside the [Fm] residence
I'm in the White House going all out Bumping college dropout
God bless Americans Nothing [F#] more influential than rap music
I merge jazz fusion [C#] with the trap music I mix black soul with some rock and roll
They never box me in I'm David Blayman now you hoes
Oh yeah let's go there [N] My DNA is DMG I'm so real
My children now is wilder [C#] than the know you A locomotive couldn't track me down in my
