Let me take it back to my childhood, [D] Six Flags still called [E] Wildwood,
Where I heard there ain't racism neighborin', We was workin' class, tryin' to make [G] it out of violence,
My best friend [F] back then was a white kid, [C] He was tidy like the same things I did,
Despite [G] us being different [A] colors, man, We was tight as [E] embers, and we called each other [A] brothers,
While I was tryin' to keep my knives clean, He [G] was tryin' to scuff his chucks up,
[A] He was grunge, I was [Em] fresh, we were young, And we cussed along the rap, tryin' to stick up in the punk clubs,
[F] But things changed when his pops got laid off, He [C] blamed my father for the [Dm] loss of his job,
He said, immigrants rob citizens of [E] jobs, And I better never [G#] set foot again in this [A] job,
So he became a doctor in a cold, cold America, He got himself a job as an officer of law,
But thoughts got [B] blacker and his roots got [Am] cracker, He was no way faster than the [F] roots at heart,
Many years apart, I recognized him in the news, He shot [Am] a black man that was [Dm] sittin' in his car,
Did the same [Am] part when we used to shoe hoops, And all I could blame is the cause,
You grew up, _ [F#] _ [Am] now you move the same, You were made the same,
_ _ [Em] You [F] grew up, _ _ now you move the same, You were made the same,
All I grow in pain, But give me like I need it,
It ain't just for the [Am] blame, You grew up, _ _ now you move the same,
You grew up, now you move the same, You were made the same,
All _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ I grow in pain, But give me like I need it,
It ain't just [D] for the blame, [A] You grew up,
He never had a friend, never came to be fanatic, [Em] Most of y'all had it,
But if he ever [A] did, you understand the one thing that y'all had to come in, Is somebody took [F] advantage of the damage that you did,
I knew a guy who spoke through his [E] flesh, A hoof in the [D] flesh, that the law was a [Dm] blesser,
Grew up in [C#] a mid-western town, Where there weren't many [G] brown people, he could see [A] reflection,
Got picked on in school, no relections, [D] Graduated hating everybody in his [A] class,
Picked on cause [F#] he prayed five to the east, And he didn't need to meet the [F] lost, it was bad,
One day a man approached him in a mosque, Changed his life when he asked him a [Dm] question,
Do you ever [Am] feel your life is a loss, And what if I teach you that life is a weapon,
Attracted strong to the feeling of acceptance, He was soon gone with illusions of a cause,
People of the present have faces of the past, Make it easier to [Em] bless them if you feel they did it [F] wrong,
You can raise a child in a house full of love, [Am] Can't keep him safe in a world full of hate,
So he blew up, Only mistake that could hold all the blame,
You grew up,
_ _ No you grew the same,
You were made the same,
No before you came,
You grew up,
_ _ All I grow is pain,
_ _ _ _ You just bought the blame,
[Am] You grew up,
_ _ No you didn't change,
You were made the same,
No [A] before you came,
[F] You grew up,
_ _ All I grow is pain,
You just _ _ _ bought the [Am] blame,
You grew up,
I was a jug,
And when I was born, I was filled with love,
It ran it over, life ran me over,
I spilled the [D] blood,
[F] I poured the cups,
And I left it [Am] up, didn't say enough,
[F] _
Never ended,
Never [G] quit, and I sealed it up, _
[Am] Tried to change my reality,
But set a fool,
Real enough, life was better,
When you're thinking that's a go, give it up,
[A] When I was younger, [F] I was so determined,
I would [D] change it all,
Couldn't fly but wasn't chained to fall,
Where was it I put the blame?
Well, _ _ [A] I grew up. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
[D] _ _ [D#] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
