[D] [Am] [D] [Ebm]
[Db] [Ebm] [D] [Am]
[D] Yo Chris, yo [Am] Chris, can you come [G] out and play?
What'd I tell you about yelling out my [Gm] window?
Hey come out and play [Ebm] tonight!
When I [D] finish practicing my rhymes.
[Bb] Aw man!
[B] [D]
Man you can't rhyme [Am] anyway.
Shut up [Eb] Lil' Jeffrey, [C] my manager.
[G] Well
[Em]
Thanks to [G] white walls, TV antennas [Dm] in the back.
In the back, in the back, in the back, in the back.
I wanna I wanna I wanna I wanna I wanna I wanna I wanna I wanna I wanna
And I wanna I [D] wanna
[Em]
It's hard growing up looking at drug dealers with all this paper wondering
how [Dm] I can't get me some.
My family's struggling, I'm bugging, sitting on my porch so [Bb] confused,
chewing [Em] on some bubble gum.
I was always taught to use my manners with the missus, but please
stay away from the missus [Dm] and I always reach for the sky.
I [Am] don't know why I'm a [D] little bitty kid
with a [Am] whole bunch of extra [Em] wish.
When I grow up, you just wait.
I'm gonna be so straight and
everything's gonna be so [Dm] ballin'.
No more borrowing [Am] from the neighbors, no more haters, no [Bb] blowing
[Am]
[Em] Nintendo cartridges.
I'ma have an eight in the shade, I'ma be so paid in my fam, get them off
them gaining [Dm] pigs.
Matter of fact, I'm teeming [Am] my way on up out this hood, I'll be good when I
[Dm] get back.
I'm
[D] [Em]
sick and tired of riding public transportation, impatient, waiting on [Dm] my
wheel.
I'm willing to do what it [Am] takes, whatever the stakes, in order [Bb] to get [Em] myself some dollar bills.
There's too many holes in my socks and I'm ready [G] to box anyone telling me I need better [Dm] shoes.
And I [Am] ain't the only one tripping or making a fuss, my [Bb] older cousin needs [E] some attitude.
[G] [Em] He think about coming up on the lick to get it, if it involves that local.
[Dm] I overheard him say [Am] he knew who worked there and whatever [Dm] they do, don't let [Em] the owner know.
I hope he come back with enough to let me borrow some change at least for the [Dm] summer.
And if he don't let me borrow nothing but ask me what [E] I want, I'ma tell him I want [Dm] a
I want a good user.
Some people wanna begin the scene with a gangsta lick, gangstamin' in the beat.
[Em]
Why can't I walk with a limp, mama?
Won't be no drama, for goodness sakes, I'm just a [Dm] kid.
Had to get my whoopings and [F] bows, I was just a pro, like there's [Bb] no remorse [Em] for what I did.
Had to learn the hard way when running them streets, how some creep really just to eat a [Dm] meal.
I could have swore it was mine, what I used to tell the po [Em]-po when I loved them.
Man, I gotta earn for a living, ain't nobody give me nothing, find something I love to [Dm] do.
What about that, it's [F] good tipping, tax-free, and [Em] I know a lot of people that love this.
It's just the way of the world, with boys and girls, I'ma just in the mind.
I am [D] me, I am me.
This [F] government's eating us, so I'll see them [Bb] back.
Why can't [E] work feel like [Dm] retirement?
I want a, I want a, [D] I want [Dm] a good user.
Y'all wanna, I wish I had a, I want a, I want a, I want a, and I want a, I want a,
[A] I
