m.A.A.d city Chords by Kendrick Lamar, Mc Eiht

If Pirates and Crips all got along, they'd probably gun me down by the end of this song
[D#m] Seems like the whole city [D] go against me, every time I'm in the [E] street I hear
YAK YAK YAK [G#] YAK
[A] Man down, where you from, nigga?
Fuck do you know where you from, my nigga?
Where your grandma stay, huh, my nigga?
This mad city I run, my nigga
Brace yourself, I'll take you on a trip down memory lane
This is not a rap on how I'm slinging crack or moon cocaine
This is code a second, plenty Kony yak in major pain
Not the drill sergeant, but the stress that weighing on your brain
It was me, El Boogie, Yang YYG, Lucky, ride down Rose Grans
It got ugly, waving your hand out the window, check yourself
Warriors in coldness, hope euphoria can slow dance with society
The driver seat the [G#] first one to get killed
Seen a light [A]-skinned nigga with his brains blown out
At the same breakfast stand where Joe sang out
Now this is not a tape recorder [F#m] saying that he did it
[G] But ever since that [G#] day, I was looking at a difference
That was back [A] when I was nine, Joey packed a nine
Had to stand on every porch and spine, we adapt to crime
Pack a van with four guns at a time, with a sliding door
Fuck yourself, fuck you shooting for if you ain't walking up
You fucking punk, picking up the fucking pump
Picking off you suck a suck a dick a die a suck a bunch of wallop
_ AKs, ARs, AR, duck
That's what mama said when we was eating every lunch
Aw man, goddamn, my hell broke loose
You killed my cousin back in 94, fuck your truth
Now crawl your head in that nude, you wind up dead on the news
Ain't no peace treaty, just peace and BG stuff to re-approve
Bodies on top of bodies, IVs on top of IVs
Obviously the coroner between the sheets like the Aussies
When you hop on that trotty, make sure your color's correct
Make sure your corporate don't dare be calling your mother collect
They say the governor collect, all of our taxes except
When we in traffic and tragic happens, that shit ain't no threat
You moving backwards if you suggest that you sleep with a tech
Go buy a chopper and have a doctor on speed dial, I guess
Mad City, bend down, where you from, nigga?
Fuck do you know, where you from, my nigga?
Where your grandma stay, huh, my nigga?
This is Mad City, I run, my nigga
If I rose and crisped, all I got along
They'd probably gun me down by the end of this song
Sing like the whole city go against me
Every time I'm in the [N] street, I hear
YAH YAH YAH
_ _ [G] _ Wake your [C#] fuck ass up
It ain't nothing but a cop that died
Shit, real simple and plain
[N]
You teach some lessons by the street
_ Fuck the [F] police, suck up, [C#] suck up
It ain't nothing but a [Cm] cop that died
How [F]
we do?
Fresh outta school, cause I was a high school grad
Sleeping in the living room of my mama's pad
Reality struck, I seen a white car crash
Hit the light pole, two niggas hopped out on foot and died
My pops said I needed a job, I thought I believed him
Security guard for a month, then ended up leaving
In fact, I got fired cause I was inspired by all of my friends
To stage a robbery the third [Em] Saturday I clocked in
[C] Projects tore up, gang signs get thrown up _
Cocaine laced in marijuana
[G] And they wonder [Am] why I barely smoke now
Imagine if your first blood had you foaming at the mouth
How [D] straight, 20 the [C] next week and [Dm] we broke [Am] even
I [G] made allegiance [C] and made a promise [F] to see you [C] bleeding
You know the beat, but still I [F] never know my life
Hit trick, aka [A] confidence, human [Em] sacrifice
Yeah, [A] _ cocaine, weed
Niggas been mixing [C] shit since the 80's, lo
[Am] Sharp stakes, butt naked, stiff, making niggas [B] flip
[A] Cluck heads all up and down the block of shit
One times [E] crooked as shit, [Am] block a nigga in
Alondra, Rosecrans, [Em] Bullets, it's capital
I grew up [F#] in the hood, yeah that's [F] cool
The hood took me under so I followed the rules
But yeah that's like me, I grew up in the hood
Where they banging niggas that rep colors and doing the same thing
Pass it to the lead so I can smoke on me
A couple drive-bys in the hood lately
A couple of IPs with the fuckers breaking
Shots in the crowd [C] then everybody [Am] ran
Grew up in the slave street, life a grave
Shots [Dm] at the [Em] enemy, hearts [B] turn [Am] brave
Mount up, regulators in the whip
Down the boulevard with the pistol [C#] grip
We [F] in the hood still, so low rep [C] strap
Cause [Dm] yeah it's so real, deal with the [C] outcome
A [F] strap in the hand and the burn
Ten [C] grand is where a motherfucker stay
If I told you [Am] I killed that nigga at sixteen
Would you believe me or see [Em] me to be
Innocent Kendrick you've seen in the street
With [A] a basketball and some now latest to eat
If I'm asking all of my skeletons, would you [C] jump in the seat?
Would you [A] say my intelligence now is great relief
And it's safe to say that our next generation [C] maybe can sleep
With [A] dreams of being a lawyer, doctor
Instead of boy with a chopper
They hold the court as their [C] hostage
Kill them all if they gossip
The children of the corn, they've been alive
And the [F] option of living a lie
Drive their body with toxins, constantly drinking and driving
Hit the party then watch this flame that arrive in his eye
That's the kind with the concept, it's aimed at the bank and the slot
Hope that bitch with the positive price on his head
The tides probably go to the projects, ah
Love his ass, the belly, heart, the ruff, copped a USA
[E] Made me a Amzonian girl
[Am] _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ [Dm] _ [Am] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _
Adopt you good my nigga
[Dm] Don't even trip, just lay [N] back and drink that
