Start Jamming...
See you hold it like this and pull the trigger
Look it ain't loaded.
What the hell are you doing?
I don't want my son learning to pull drive-by
[Em]
Look, I was just showing him how to shoot
You need to be glad that you graduated from high school and that you're alive [D] at 18
[Em] And you need to do something [Bm] with yourself before [Am] you end up like he did
[Bm] [Am] Look, yeah
I'm not gonna end up like he did.
All [B] right, straight up.
Oh, [Em] really?
Hey cheers for odb drug-induced [D] poetry
What's the use [G] strung out from that drug abuse?
What [Em] was me?
80s, baby.
So I know my pop is getting [Am] hot in [C] the 90s me and mama [B] barely [Em] getting by
2000s I was concentrating more on getting [D] fly getting bitches [G] getting rich to get the shit.
I couldn't [C] buy you know [G] the story
You know my [Am] allegory I was sent from [C] heaven with a set of horns.
[Bm] They better warn [Em] y'all
I'm here for more than just to kick some witty metaphors, [D] dawg
It's more of [G] the type of shit you spit the set of wall [Em] off cuz niggas people get money
They [Gb] still don't know [C] why the fuck they can't cop a house the [Eb] system meant to lock [Em] us out
But i'm knocking down the door strapped up with a faux [D] faux
[G] Grabbing her shit.
Hey, yeah, i'm her [Em] rich
That's good enough to stay in new [D] kicks and a good [Am] whip get good hand from [C] a good bitch
I get two [G] shits i'ma tell you [Em] straight up
[Bm] Straight up Straight up
[Am] Any [C] chance i'ma take you rather die before I fake it
They say life is what you make it bitch, but i'm just trying to make it [Em] straight up
The lord didn't put you here to be shooting and killing [D] each other.
I don't think god really cared too much [C] about us
He wouldn't have put us here
Look where he's staying
[Cm] Lord [Em] have mercy on my soul what i've done and what i've seen [D] my life has tumbled into [G] that
Which only you could intervene [C] I put my heart and senseless things money bitches and street shit
Fascinated by beef sad to [A] say I won't be [Em] shit grew up in this bitch without a pot [G] to piss no [D] toilet
How [G] ironic I took a lot of shit like [C] a bottom bitch or a model chick high off coke
[G] They locking sons up [D] for less.
I don't care how [Eb] y'all cope [Em] but yet I still peddled is doping these pills
[D] I never know how sitting [G] comfy on that oprah [Bm] c feels [C] more than likely be on most wanted posters
We still holding on to old [Am] dreams of being hova [Cm] be real
We [Em] the forgotten souls bottom of the totem poles [Bm] left for dead some niggas [G] fled people say they [Bm] sold their souls
[C] I just think they found a better way lord knows.
I never prayed but sometimes i'll be [Am] wishing I could [C] levitate.
I'll take it [Em] straight up
I was hoping [Bm] that maybe you would come [G] with me
[B]
[Am] Yeah, I mean
You ain't doing jack [Ebm] shit here in the way that [Em] I see it.
You'll be dead or you'll be in jail [Bm] straight up
[C] Straight up.
Hey any chance i'ma take you rather [Bm] die before I fake it
[Am] They say life is what you make it bitch, but i'm just [C] trying to make it [Em] straight up
[Gbm] Hey
[G] Hey
[D] Go [C] away
Take care of my son
[Ebm] Teaching [Em] better than I taught you teaching the way we grew up was bullshit
[Bm] All my [G] niggas still going through it
[C]
[E] Yeah
[C]
[Ebm] [Em]
[A] Then he's gotta [Em] learn something
[Bm] [Am] He died 12 [B] niggas
[Am]
You [B] [Em]
