[Bm]
[F#] I am [E] on my [Bm] way [E]
[B] to a better [Bm] day.
[B] I am on my way, no time [F#] to delay.
So I watch and [Bm] pray while I live each day.
[G#] Too much [Bm] tribulation, too much provocation.
Because I'm poor, they break down [E] my door.
[Bm]
They burst my head until my blood is shed.
I did not get my share, so I don't live [B] nowhere.
I could not pay [Bm] my rent.
[Em] [Bm] I did not have a [F#] cent, so they throw [Bm] me out.
Now I'm all about.

[D] [Bm]
[C#]
[F#m] [Bm]
[F#] Because you have [Bm] your gun, you [E] shoot a man [Bm] for fun.
[E] Because you had [Bm] your knife, you took my [F#] brother's life.
[A] One thing you did [Bm] not know before you pop and [B] blow.
[F#] Too much [Bm] tribulation, too much provocation.
I get no food
[E] to give [B] to my kids.
[D]
I get [Bm] no clothes
[E] [Bm] to cover my ribs.
[B] I am on [Bm] my way
[B] to [A] a better [Bm] day.
I am on my way, no time [F#] to delay.
[A#] So I watch [Bm] and pray while I live each day.
