[E] Twenty-one, his income rockets.
[Am] Twenty-two, he learns the truth is [Dm] just an obstacle to [G] wealth.
If you manipulate the data, then the lie [B] will sell itself.
[Am] Twenty-three, a life of luxury, [Dm] Cristal and cocaine.
[G] Twenty-four, he makes the Forbes [E] list, they're applauding his name.
[Am] Twenty-five, and his daddy tells him, [Dm] listen here, son,
[Bm] While you're sitting in that palace, [B] that don't [Am] mean that you won.
Twenty-six, a business shift, he [A] switches business to [G] arms.
He's twenty-seven, dealing nuclear [E] and shells in Iran.
[Am] Twenty-eight, inside the Senate, [A] money bought him a seat.
He's [G] twenty-nine, a role of counsel in [E] the presidency.
Now [Am] he's thirty, his daddy says, [Dm] you're losing the race.
You're [G] just a servant to the king, not even [Abm] in second place.
[Am] Thirty-one, a big manoeuvre for [B] his daddy's approval.
[G]
Moving imports over borders from the [Am] exports out of Cuba.
Thirty-two, [G] moving [A] grams, growing kilos to [A] tons.
He's thirty-three, filling warehouses with powder [G] and guns.
[A] Thirty [Bb]-four, tough war with nobody to stop it.
Blind eye from [C] the popo inside of his pocket.
_ _ _ _ [Abm] _ _
_ [Cm] _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] Thirty-five, he gets the [C] call.
I'm [D] sorry, [A] son, but it's your father.
[F] Had a heart [C] attack, I'm sorry, he's gone.
[Am] Thirty-six, getting pissed off, abusing [A] his product.
[Am] Thirty-seven, [Dm] eyes glazed, [C] disposition [Am] demonic.
Thirty-eight, with a [C] prostitute, a moment [A] of passion.
[Am] Heating up a [Dm] silver spoon [C] and then chasing [Am] the dragon.
Thirty-nine, getting reckless [C] and hungry for [D] power.
[Am] Daddy's words are [F] still driving him [C] to kill and [Am] devour.
Makes a move against the cartel, but the strategy's flawed.
They retaliate [D] and leave him in a hospital ward.
A bullet buried in his [Am] vertebra, and one in his leg.
The doctor sighs [D] and says,
I don't think [Am] you'll be walking again.
[B] Fuck. _
_ _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _ _

[F] Let me tell you a story about a boy named Jimmy.
[Am] He was forty, and he cursed the [G] words,
Mine, mine, gimme.
[F] Forty-one, he wasn't walking.
Forty-two, not walking quickly.
[Am] Forty-three, never running [G] round the [C] pavements of his city.
Forty-four, inside a palace with a mountain of gold.
But [Am] those riches turn to rubble and [G] perspective evolves.
[F] Weighing heavy on his conscience is the value [Gm] of gold.
[Am] Lamborghini [Dm] for a life, [G] trading money [C] for souls.
Jimmy [F] followed the code inside the land of the free.
[Am] Put your hand inside the cookie [G] jar, take more than you need.
And his [F] example is exaggerated versions of me.
[Am] And it's a [Dm] version of him.
[G] And it's a version of she.
And it's [F] a version of you.
There's no escaping the blame.
The [Am] way we live is parasitic.
[G] Fuck the money and fame.
Cut the music.
_ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
_ _ _ _ _ This isn't entertainment.
This is real life.
The way we live is lunacy.
Community _ declines.
Hyper-polarised, always fighting.
Then we divide. _ _
Truth is less important than the money that we design.
_ _ Money's an invention.
Politics from our invention.
They all come from [Bb] people's ideas.
Did I mention?
Borders an [Ab] invention.
Law and order fuel the tension.
It leads to people killing each other.
My solution? _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _ _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Everything is subject to change.
_ We could build utopias [Bb] if individuals [D] were taught to use their brains.
But if we teach kids in schools to always be sheep
and put themselves before the herd if there's [B] more money for me.
_ _ _ _ Then there's no future I see.
Where the humans survive.
We're parasites inside a petri dish with cannibal minds.
Mold will grow upon the surface then consume till it dies.
And our fate could be the same without this story to the wise. _ _

[F] 45.
_ Jimmy comes home out of the rain.
[Am] Soaking wet upon a [G] wheelchair.
Drinking again.
[F] He has everything he wants.
He is fortune and fame.
[Am] He's a fortunate [D] fool with [G] an unfortunate [C] fate.
[F] With a 45 calibre aimed at his brain.
[Am] 45 a fitting number [G] because his age is the same.
[F] Here's the words of his father.
It's such a [N] damn shame. _ _ _ _ _ _
Then he presses on the trigger of a money game. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
