[C]
[F] It's after hours and that's a flat for the spice squad.
[C] Get easy, we're swapping personal [F] experiences.
Let's listen in [G] American today.
[Bb] Life at a party, [Gm] mm-hmm.
[A] I [D] almost had, mm-mm.
[Bb] It's the life of the [Dm] party.
To [A] think I could've [D] almost died.
Lord help us.
[Bb] Hey, Miss Donda, you runnin' to my mama, [Gm] please tell her I said say [A] somethin'.
I'm startin' to believe ain't [D] no such thing as heaven's trumpets.
No after over, this is it, done.
If there's a heaven, you would think they let you speak to [Bb] your son.
Maybe she has in the form of a baby's laugh.
I [G] heard passin' by in a stroller, [A] reminding me, hey, keep rollin', [D] oh no.
Maybe she has with the prick of a blade of grass I've been layin' on way too long.
Got me itchy, got up and roamed a [Bb] little more.
Miss Donda, you see my mama, tell her [Gm] I'm lost.
You see, she'd always [A] light a cigarette.
We'd talk, I [D] would cough, exaggeratin' a little bit.
So she get the point, tryin' to get her to stop smokin'.
I would lead and fire up a joint till [Bb] I quit.
Started back up again, 20 years later.
[Gm] All that time, y'all thought a nigga [A] was high.
Thought I was crazy.
[D] My mama, she ain't cut no corners.
Got me back on track.
I don't miss her oversteppin', but do miss her showin' seven civilian [Bb] life shit.
Ah, Miss Donda, see my mama whisper [Gm] her this.
The real reason [A] I was geeked to go to church was [D] confess when y'all grown-ups would be in Bible study.
That girl helpin' me with my homework, her and I were fuckin' [Bb] so pure and perverted.
[Gm] So spirit-spinning and dirty, so on, so on, and so [A] on.
We hope that no one heard [D] it.
And to this day, I think her mama knew, but let [Bb] us explore.
Miss Donda, you see my father, please [Gm] ask him why.
He never [A] married.
Always smiled, but was he happy [D] inside?
Because of Carrie, my mother's name, did he carry shame with him?
I'm sure she did it out of spite.
It was her decision [Bb] at birth.
Shit, she probably would hurt.
Ah, poor baby.
[Gm] Two young people with different [A] views.
A lot for a young [D] lady.
No coincidence, they both passed away from heart conditions.
There's a dissidence at play.
Dad and Mom do hard division.
[Bb] Three thousand, post and child.
For big-dick niggas raised [Dm] by their mothers, I'm supposed to smile.
[A] As if God knew that I would [D] be troubled.
Keeps me around.
For what I don't know, but I do know that it's crucial that we do so pronto.
I don't know how [Bb] much longer.
Straight from Shibuya on some Xen.
We back, [A] ramped up, we on [D] Xen.
It's a marathon and look, we coming for the win.
Just like Puff told Christopher, we gon' win, [Bb] big.
Put the whole family on, look at what my cam [G] did.
Just like Puff told [A] Christopher, we gon' win, [D] big.
Oh.
We gon' win, big.
What?
[Bb] Southside gang mentality way heavy.
[Gm] I was thinking out the [A] box, even in a box [D] Chevy.
And my favorite art teacher name was Mrs.
Levy.
Around the time I learned to put my feelings to [Bb] a medley.
I ain't turned [Gm] at home for like [A] four months.
And I bet [D] she let me.
She saw the vision.
Yeezy, you special, go make your own decisions.
[Bb] And man, that was a good choice.
[Gm] Faith driving us [A] like a Rolls Royce.
[D]
They tried to take [Bb] my voice away.
I ain't trying to take your choice away.
[Gm] I just prayed a water break just for [A] my daughter's sake.
From a [D] slip up, fake signatures.
From fake managers, it all damaged ya.
Good Lord, [Bb] give them enough of [Dm] they own rope to hang with.
The paparazzi [A] never really got where my angle [D] is.
They treat my married life like some type of entanglement.
My neighbor still dissing, wonder why I ain't saying [Bb] it.
I can smell the setup, that's a Tupac in Vegas [Gm] hit.
I reveal myself [A] and some don't know what to make of [D] it.
Gotta say it themself to make sure that the baby live.
And if they ain't here, then tell me who gonna say this [Bb] shit.
Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a [Dm] god damn minute.
Let me stop playing [A] with it, ha, and the land [D] with it.
Ha, and the land with it in a damn pandemic.
Nervo Uncle Sam gotta have his damn hand [Bb] in it.
Listen, straight [Gm] from Shibuya on some [A] Zen.
I'm on [D] pen.
It's a marathon and look, we coming for the win.
Just like Puff told Christopher, we gon' [Bb] win, bitch.
Put the whole family on, look at what my champ did.
Just like Puff [A] told Christopher, we gon' [D] win big.
Uh, we gon' win big.
What?
[Bb] Do y'all feel me?
Really?
[Gm] Get off Scott [A] Free, I'm talking Ridley.
[D] Get off our knees, that's if you with me.
Get off your knees, that's if you with me.
[Bb] Get off your knees and let's get free.
[G] Get off your [A] knees and let's get free.
[D] Ridley, I mean Ridley.
Ridley, I mean Ridley.
[Bb] I mean Ridley.
I don't need police.
[G] I'm like nigga police.
[A] Y'all can't hear me, [D] that's what I mean.
For the Ridley, for the real me.
I've been waiting.
[Bb] I don't want my hand in it, hold that.
[G] Alright, he's gonna shoot us in the [A] foot.
[D] You ready mama?
[Bb] Shoot us in the head mama.
[Dm]
[A] [D]
[Bb] [Gm]
[A] [D] I got you, that's okay.
Okay, we [Bb] got you.
[A] See it's over.
It's [D] already over.
[Bb] [Dm] We're done right here.
Right here, I [D] told ya.
[Fm] We done.
