_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [B] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ [B]
I must [G] admit on some occasions I'm [B] out like a punk in a chunk
Or a sucker or something to that effect Respect [Em] I used to never get
[B] Bitch, that's all I got was a sip When niggas used to be like,
Sup, fool?
I'd cry [Em] sweat a nigga like the lip
[B] For no reason at all I can't recall
Cause niggas throw a [G#m] tease in my face Down [G] the hall and kick it in the back
Of [B] the school eating chicken at three Wondering why's everybody always picking on [Em] me
I tried to talk and tell em, [B] till I did nothing to [F] deserve this
But when it didn't [G#m] work I wasn't [Em] scared, just really nervous
And I'm prepared [B] to do this crap, no [F] doubt
My pappy never [G#m] told me how to [Em] knock a nigga out
But now we're not a problem, [B] we survive as a man on my own
Fuck around with [E] fat lip, yeah, she get [G] blown
I'm not [B] trying to show no mockery, it's shown
But when it's on, when the [E] song's in the zone
Can't keep it away

[Em] _ So [B] _ listen here
[Em] There comes a [B] time when every man's life's winning
He's got a hand to sit up on his own
[G] Can't defend from [B] friends to help you in a squeeze
They got problems [G] of their own
Careful they don't sell [D] them chicken shit
Don't get their [F] heads in jail
They face these [B] fears and these fears alone
[Em] Just to get back up [B] in high school
I made it cool just so some real shit won't get foreblown
[G] Being where I'm from
[B] They let the smoke come [F] quicker than an evil redneck
[B] Feelings a helpless color [Em] figure
And as a [B] victim I am really low key
Feel that [F] the holy [B] self got lower than me
[Em] So I stood up and [B] let my free form fall free
Said I'm gonna get something before they [Em] knock it on me
I don't sweat it, I [B] like the bullshit, blowin' [F] the breeze
In other [Em] words, it's just a breeze, yeah

It's 1995 and now that I'm older
Stress weighs on my shoulders heavy as [C#m] boulders
But I told y'all
[B] Until the day that I die I [Em] still
[E] Will be a soldier
That's all I told y'all
That's all I showed y'all
[B] That's all I know y'all
My humanity is breathing my sanity, [C] can it be?
That I'm a son that brought [B] you down the [Em] bridge
Now don't be wishing to switch in any positions with me
[B] Cause when you in my [Dm] position it ain't never easy
[E] To do any [G] type of maintaining
[B] Cause all the gaming and training from [C#] entertaining
[G#m] Is hella straining, [Em] with a brain in
