[Eb] Yo, my [Ab] grandmother's suits was tailor made.
Sundays, my earlier played.
Simple, familiar ways, like how she dealt and played.
Will and Lord and Master, [Fm] give us a trust.
[Gm] Master sat us real [Eb] afraid.
I never listened, yet [Ab] I still obeyed.
I got [Fm] to see how Philly played at such an early [Eb] age.
What my father was into sent me to [Ab] his early grade.
The moms started [Fm] chasing that bait [Gm] like Willie Mays.
My childhood was all of 40 [Ab] nights and 40 days.
Trouble was my ball and chain.
Shorties would call me [Eb] names.
Humble beginnings, but a star is [Ab] what that all became.
My journey from a dirty hallway to the Hall of [Eb] Fame.
Music, my therapeutic way to cope with all this [Ab] pain.
I was headed for the [Fm] drain, soaking
before [Eb] the rainwater came.
In chaos before the order [Ab] came.
I started doing [Fm] what I'm supposed to do in life.
