Chords for Robert Glasper Experiment - I Stand Alone (Lyric Video) ft. Common, Patrick Stump

[Cm] _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ [Am] _ _ [Cm] _ Yeah, _ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ _ sometimes we feel [Bb] alone, _ [Cm] but alone ain't always wrong. _
_ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Gm] _ _ [Ab] _
_ [Bb] _ _ [Am] _ _ [Ab] _ [Cm] _ _
_ [Bb] _ [Eb] Yeah.
_ [Gm] _ _ [Eb] _
_ [Bb] _ _ [Am] _ _ [Ab] _ [Cm] _ _
_ [Bb] Alone in [Eb] a crowded room, [Gm] my mind made up [Fm] like a powder room.
[Bb] I'm the sun, giving [Cm] the clouds some room.
Einstein shine like the hour [Gm] noon tune [Bb] is to stay in step with everyday [Gm] men and women,
the rhythm [Ab] of the realness.
[Bb] Still, I'm legend [Am] like Will Smith.
In [Ab] the presence of the fake, I am [Bb] a real gift.
Open it, open it, it'll be [Eb] something dope in it.
[Gm] Movement of the people [Ab] getting motion [Eb] sick.
[Bb] We ride on the highs [F] and the lows [Ab] of it.
On the south [Cm] side, we got hoes for it.
[Bb] Standing up like rich fire, [Eb] we get fire and [Gm] inspired by the prospect [Ab] to get [Eb] higher.
[Bb] It's fire on the throne, [Am] grew up around the [Ab] stones, the rangers, so I [Cm] stand alone.
I'm flying high [Bb] up in the sky, up till the moonlight, till the height.
I [Cm] stand alone, [Bb] I stand alone, [F] I stand alone, [Cm] I stand alone.
Heroic task [Bb] is possible if [Eb] I will succeed, [Gm] I will not die.
I [Ab] stand alone, [Bb] I stand alone, [Am] I stand alone, [Cm] I stand alone.
Success [Fm] it [Bb] is, we blessed to [Gm] live.
Not just my kids, want the best for [Ab] his.
Progression [Bb] lives, where the lessons [Am] is.
I got my [Ab] own, God bless the [Cm] kid.
In the mid part [Bb] of Babylon, listening [Gm] to Farrakhan.
In the parts of [Eb] Avalon streets, we will battle on.
[Bb] The good book in [F] my carry on.
[Eb] Life is a race, I'm the marathon man on [Bb] the moon.
Get a voice [Gm] of Rome, rose from the concrete, told you I [Ab] will bloom.
[Bb] Situation brought out [Em] the hero, [D] [Eb] a little black 13 year old.
[Bb] The voice of the Lord in [Gm] my earlobe, telling me my purpose, I can see [Ab] it clear oh.
Revolution [Bb] in the execution, the [Am] little spirit up, ill [Cm] start, Marvin Gaye. _
_ [Bb] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _ [Cm] I stand alone, I [Bb] stand alone, I [C] stand alone, I [Eb] stand alone.
[Fm] Heroic task [Bb] is possible if I [Eb] will succeed, I [Gm] will not die.
I [Cm] stand alone, I [Bb] stand alone, I [Am] stand alone, I [Cm] stand alone.
I'm flying high [Bb] up in the sky.
[Eb] I feel my blood and [Gm] I'm grilled.
I [Cm] hide, I stand alone.
I [Bb] stand alone, I [Am] stand alone,
I [Cm] stand alone.
People want justice, [Bb] girl.
I fight, I [Eb] will succeed.
I [Gm] feel I die, I [Eb] stand alone.
I [Bb] stand alone, I [Am] stand alone,
I [Cm] stand alone.
I stand _ [Bb] alone, [Gm] _ _ _ [Cm] _ _
_ [Bb] _ [Am] I [Cm] stand alone. _
_ [Bb] The _ _ _ _ [Cm] _
_ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ [Ab] _ _ [C] _
_ irresistible appeal of black [Ab] individuality.
Where has [Bb] all of that gone?
[Am] The very [Ab] people who blazed our paths to self-expression
[Bb] and pioneered a [C] resolutely distinct [Ab] and individual voice
have too [Bb] often succumbed to [C] mind-numbing sameness
[Ab] and been seduced by simply repeating [Bb] what we hear,
what somebody else said [Cm] or thought,
and not digging deep to learn what we think
or what we feel or what we believe.
Now, it is true that the genius of African culture
is surely its repetition,
but the key to such repetition
was that new elements were [Bb] added each go-round.
[Cm] Every round goes higher and higher.
Something [Bb] fresh popped off the page
[Cm] or jumped from a rhythm
that had been recycled through the imagination
[Bb] of a writer or a musician.
[Cm] Each new installation bore the imprint
of [Bb] our [Cm] unquenchable thirst to say something of our own,
in our own way, in our [Bb] own voice,
as [C] best we [Cm] could.
The trends of the times be damned.
[Bb] Thank God we've still got [G] musicians and [Ab] thinkers
whose obsession with excellence
[Bb] and whose hunger [G] for greatness
[Gm] remind us [Ab] that we should all be unsatisfied
[Bb] with mimicking [G] the popular
rather [Cm] than mining the fertile veins of creativity
[Bb] that God [G] placed deep [Gm] inside each of us.
[Cm] We go, Ah, [Bb] ah, ah, ah, [G] We go, Ah, ah, [Ab] ah, ah,
We go, Ah, ah, [Bb] ah, ah, [G] We go, Ah, [Cm] ah, ah_ _ _
