Chords for Mahalia - Proud of Me feat. Little Simz

_ I'm in that [G#] vulnerable place now, which is kind of the [F#m] most scary, but I [B] kind of thrive on it.
[E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C#m] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Now they sing along, my friends used to say, I bet you can't wait for the fame, everyone's gonna know your face, man.
Let me talk specifically, that don't mean shit to me, I wanna keep this to myself.
_ I don't need your publicity, all up in my business, that right there is sickness, keep it to yourselves.
Brother and father, I wanna make you proud, brothers and sisters, let me scream my lungs out. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ I didn't just fall out of the sky, I've got stars in my eyes, I've had stars in my eyes for many years.
Wow, I was showed how, I was grown into the woman that I am now.
Think of me as a blank sheet [C#m] of paper, my [E] life is mine, I am the creator, you don't own me, I'm just my commentator.
Oh, child, see I once had an idol, I got her voice on a vinyl, and then she turned suicidal.
Well you see this business is all about survival of the fittest, if you don't [C#m] go viral you should [E] quit it.
I am the revival of the unfinished, you're my [N] witness. _ _ _ _ _
I wanted the song to feel universal, because though the song is personal and it's about me and my journey,
and me picking up my acoustic guitar at 13 and starting to write all these songs and working out the business,
[G#] I wanted people to be able to sing that chorus and feel like it was anthemic and feel like they could say,
brothers and sisters, [E] I wanna make you proud.
Brother and father, [A] I wanna [E] make you proud.
Brothers and sisters, let me scream out loud.
I love you, I _ love you, yeah.
Thank you for everything you do.
I love you, yeah, yeah.
[F#] Oh, thoughts more and more are [G#m] distorted.
I just pray I wake up in the morning.
Shit ain't [A] promised to all when we know this, but calling it quits is not in my [F#] calling.
I don't need a penny to complete me, no, [G#m] he should know.
Let all of my elders and my teachers know, [A] she is gold.
Wonder has this always been my thesis, oh, [G#m] T would know.
What is this life that I lead?
[E] This is the life of a G.
Can I enlighten you please?
[G#m] I don't ever feel to be like what they're all trying to be.
You don't even know, I am the one you were dying to meet.
What are you fighting to beneath?
Life's dressed as honesty, [F#] honesty.
You should follow me down the rabbit hole.
I [E] know, I know, change is scary.
We call this life, so what?
Move on, I'll always give you the realness.
It's tough love, we [G#m] ride to bow.
Pops, [E] we always drink, oh.
Brothers and _ [A] _ _
[E] _ _ _ _ sisters, let me scream out loud. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Thank you for everything you do.
I love you, yeah, yeah.
