I'm supposed to be the [F#] soldier who never blows his [C#m] composure
Even though I hold the weight [D#] of the whole world on [A] my shoulders
I ain't never supposed to show [G#m] it My crew ain't supposed to know [C#m] it
Even if it means going toe to toe with [D#] the Benzino [C#] it don't matter
I never [F#m] drag em in battles that I can't [C#m] handle
Unless I absolutely have [D#] to I'm supposed to set an [A] example
I need to be the leader [G#m] My crew works for me to guide [C#m] em
Some shit up here just pop off [G#m] I'm supposed to be beside em
And [C#m] I said I tried to [F#] squash it It was too late to stop [C#] it
There's a certain line [D#] you just don't cross and it [A] cost it
I heard him say Haley's [G#m] name on a song and I just lost [C#m] it
It's crazy this shit been gravy [B] on some Chasey and [C#m] Nash shit
And even though the [F#] battle was won I feel like we lost [C#m] it
I spent so much energy [D#] on it honestly I'm [A] exhausted
And I was a carton that I [G#m] almost felt I'm the one who caused [C#m] it
This ain't what I'm in hip hop for it's [B] not why I got [E] in it
It was never my [F#] object for someone to get [C#m] killed
Why would I want to [D#] destroy something [A] I helped build?
It wasn't my [G#m] intentions but my intentions were good
[C#m] I went through my whole career without ever [D#] mentioning
[C#m] That bitch just died of [F#] respect for not running my [C#] mouth
And talking about something [D#] that I knew [A] nothing about
Plus Dre told me stay [G#m] out since this wasn't my beef
[C#m] So I did I just felt bad watching Chris in my teeth
While he's all over [F#] TV and I'm talking to man
[C#m] Who literally saved my [D#] life like fuck it [A] I understand
This is business and this [G#] shit just isn't none of my [C#m] business
And still knowing this shit you pop off at any minute
[E] There [B]

[C#] used to be a time [F#] when you could just say a rhyme
[C#m] And wouldn't have to worry [D#] about one of your people [A] dying
But now it's elevated [G#m] cause once you get so much kids [C#m] in it
This shit gets escalated it [D#] ain't this worse the more is [C#m] it
It's a different ball [F#] game you're calling names and you ain't just [E] rapping
We actually tried to stop [D#] Vivian [A] Jha be from happening
Me and Dre had sat [G#m] with him, kicked it, and had a chat [C#m] with him
And asked him not to start it he wasn't [D#] gonna [C#m] go after her
Until Jha started [F#] gabbing in magazines how he stabbed [E] him
Fucked it, smashed him, massacred him, let him have [A] it
Meanwhile my [G#m] attention's pulling in other directions
[C#m] Some receptionist said the source who [D#] answers phone to this [C#m] desk
Has an infection for me and [F#] thinks that I'll be his resurrection
[C#m] Tries to blow the dust [D#] off his mic and make a new [A] record
But now he's fucked the game [G#m] up cause one of the ways I came [C#m] up
Was through that public case and the [D#] same one that made me [C#m] famous
Now I'm on the rougher [F#] this got a grudge against me for [C#m] nothing
Well fuck it that [E] motherfucker could get it too
But [A] I'm so busy being [G#m] pissed off I don't stop to [C#m] think
Just inherited 50's [D#] beat from Murda Inc
[C#m] And he's inherited mine [F#] which is fine ain't like either [C#m] of us mine
We still have [D#] soldiers that's on the [A] front line
And they died for [G#m] us as soon as we gave the orders
[C#m] Never to extort us strictly [D#] to show they [C#m] support us
Maybe shout em out [F#] and a rapper up in [C#m] the chorus to show em we love em [G#] back
And let em know [A] how important it is to have Runyon [G#] Avenue soak us up in our corners
[C#m] Their loyalty [C#] to us was more than [D#] any award [C#m] is
But I ain't tryna [F#] have none of my people heard of [A] Murda
It ain't worth it I can't think [D#] of a perfecter way to [A] word it
To just say that I love y'all [G#m] too much you see the verdict
[C#] I'll walk away from it all or I'll let it [D#] go any [C#m] further
But don't get it twisted [F#] it's not a plea that [C#m] I'm topping
I'm just willing to be the [D#] bigger man if y [A]'all can quit popping off
At your jaws more than I [G#] can cause frankly I'm sick of talking
[C#m] I'm not gonna let someone else's carpet rest on my [E] conscience
