[C#] [F#] Now [C#m] what in the hell you talking about?
I come straight out that dirty [A] south,
and I'm proud of where I come [B] from.
But it's time for us to [C#m] talk it out, because me, myself,
I've been broken, hurt, down, and not kicked in the [A] dirt.
Probably need some church like we all [B] do, but hold up.
Let's not [C#m] argue.
Let's talk some facts, keep it real now.
Let me tell you how I live [A] now.
I never had no special [B] treatment, no credit cards,

Oh, by the [F#] way, [C#m] nice to [A] meet you.
I'm Joe, friend, [B] and I ain't going to judge you [C#m] by your skin.
If it was up to them, that government,
they would probably do us all [A] in.

Take a look at my [F#] [C#m] background.
I've been wrongfully convicted,
but I went ahead and served my sentence.
I've been wrongfully [A] evicted, [B] and I was a good-ass [F#] tenant.
[C#m] Half my friends are gone in prison,
and the other half probably in the [A] grave
and all the rest strung out on [B] drugs.
I done run out of [C#m] words to pray.
Now, as you see, we a lot alike.
Still got to keep on moving.
You ain't got to call me a white man,
because, damn it, we all human.
White man, he's a bad man.

and hard times was [F#] all I [C#m] knew.
No new shoes when school came.
Trying to fit in, but I'm too [A] ashamed.
I grew up screwed [B] up, heartbroken, and [F#] full of [C#m] pain,
so excuse me if I feel offended,
because you don't know what I've been [A] through.
