Think that [Am] I finally reached the [Dm] pinnacle of finding [Gm] myself as an individual

I'm an [Eb] adult
[G] 22 like the smallest of guns [Am] that you know most determined [Dm] but with the smallest of funds [Eb] to show but I'm not [G] worried
My talent [Am] should take me places.
I never [Dm] been
The world [Eb] should turn soon as my record [G] span
I want to be the highest [Am] on top of all the bullshit [Dm] the negative you bring [Eb] the stress the violence [G] the capital
[Am] Punishment the loud police sirens [Dm] to focused [Eb] one word [G] righteous
